• Extra durability and mowing performance from 7-Iron™ PRO Side-Discharge decks pressed from a single piece of steel

• 7-Iron PRO mower decks have demonstrated quality, performance, and durability. They deliver a high-quality cut in diverse conditions.

• Key features of the 7-Iron PRO mower deck:

• Deck is forged from 7-gauge, 0.179-in. (4.6-mm) steel to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside with fewer sharp corners for reduced material buildup.

• Significantly fewer welds on the deck shell to wear or break - it is forged from a single sheet of steel rather than multiple fabrications. An anti-skid step on the deck provides easy machine mounting.

• Extra reliability and long life with cast-iron blade spindle housings.
