John Deere 7Iron Mulch on Demand mower deck John Deere's 7Iron Mulch on Demand mower deck is stamped from 7-gauge steel, which requires 4 million pounds of force to create. Stamped decks minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside with fewer sharp corners, which help distribute impact stress and reduce the potential damage if a deck should contact trees, rocks, curbs or other fixed objects. With a 5.5-inch depth, the deck is designed for excellent airflow so material can be processed quickly and efficiently. An 18-inch-wide discharge chute provides even clipping dispersal. Six anti-scalp wheels are located at all 4 corners and the front center position of the deck. Mulch on Demand gives the operator the ability to switch between mulching and side discharging with the simple push or pull of a lever, saving time and money and increasing productivity. John Deere JRCO heavy-duty attachments JRCO Inc. manufactures a line of 7 heavy-duty front-mount attachments for commercial mowers, including the JRCO Tine Rake Dethatcher (pictured). Available in 36-, 46- and 60-inch widths, the JRCO Tine Rake Dethatcher provides a quick spring green-up by removing embedded thatch and leaves and combing up matted turfgrass while mowing. Its flexible tines allow zero-turning maneuverability while raking. Like all of JRCO's front-mount products, the JRCO Tine Rake Dethatcher attaches to the JRCO universal mount bar with clevis pins. JRCO, Inc. Kohler Command PRO EFI Propane engine The Kohler Command PRO EFI Propane engine is an ideal choice to power commercial mowers. The combination of Kohler's closed-loop EFI system and propane fuel provides landscapers with a new level of fuel efficiency and performance. These engines are proven to save end users up to 25 percent in fuel when compared Kohler's carbureted engines under comparable load conditions. With the Propane Education & Research Council's $1,000 incentive, now is a good time to make the switch to propane. Kohler also offers a variety of other engines, including new Command PRO EFI and Confidant commercial turf repower engines specifically created for repowering aging mowing equipment.
