MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations: When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.The MulchControl handle, or an electric one-touch actuator, is on top of the mower deck and is used to open and close the MulchControl baffle.The MulchControl system includes an adjustable MulchControl baffle near the discharge chute and fixed baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain: MulchControl baffle closed (shown on Z300 48A mower deck) Replaceable oil filter for extra protection for tractors equipped with hydraulic lift and steering.Return mechanism that closes the freewheeling valve when the brake pedal is depressed to start the engine.

Brake interlock system that returns the foot control pedals to neutral during panic stops. Internal wet-disk brakes for long life and consistent operation.Twin Touch™ foot control for easy and precise change of speed and direction.Full-length axle housings to support heavy loads.Large pump and motor rotating groups for long life and efficient operation.Key features of the drive system are as follows: When combined with the foot controls, the hydrostatic transmission functions similarly to that of an automatic transmission in an automobile, so the term automatic is often used to describe it. Fewer sealing surfaces to minimize potential for leakage.

The integrated hydrostatic transaxle (IHT) encloses the hydrostatic pump and motor rotating groups in the same housing with the differential and axle housing:

Forged-steel design eliminates sharp edges and corners where material can build up and diminish mowing performance.Optional lever-action or electric one-touch MulchControl™ system provides superior mulching performance and versatility.(12.3-cm) depth throughout the entire deck shell for optimum mowing, mulching, and bagging performance Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass: (137-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a forged-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility.
