Core Technologies & Features

• Gator Mulcher 3-in-1 Cutting System
  Patented Gator Teeth design recirculates grass within the deck multiple times, finely shredding clippings and leaves before discharge or collection.

• Fusion Technology Cutting Edge
  Tungsten-carbide infused edge stays sharp up to twice as long as standard blades, offering extended service life with fewer replacements.

• High-Lift, Aggressive Airflow
  Enhanced suction pulls grass upright for a cleaner, precision cut and improved bagging or side-discharge efficiency.

• Commercial-Grade Durability
  Made in the USA and thru-hardened to Rockwell C50, providing superior strength, safety, and resistance to bending or impact damage.

Performance Benefits

• All-Condition Reliability
  Performs exceptionally in wet, dry, dense, or sandy mowing environments without sacrificing cut quality.

• Reduced Clean-Up Time
  Ultra-fine mulching greatly minimizes the volume of leaf and grass waste, often removing the need for bagging during fall cleanups.

• Healthier, Greener Lawn
  Micro-shredded clippings break down quickly, returning natural nutrients to the soil and promoting stronger turf health.
