Product Features
Commercial-grade twin cylinder engine
27HP Kohler Confidant commercial grade twin cylinder engine with EFI (Fuel Injection)
Heavy-duty blade spindles
The blade spindles used on the AcrEase mowers are built out of heavy-duty welded steel hubs, 30mm (1-3/16") steel shafts, machined steel blade holders and large sealed ball bearings.
Crank height adjustment
The cutting height can quickly and easily be adjusted from 2"-8" with the two crank height adjustment system.
Steel Top Plate
The main deck is built out of 10 GA (.135") thick steel with a 1/4" thick steel top plate for reinforcement. An additional 1/4" thick steel plate is welded in the blade spindle mounting location. The three layers of steel in the blade spindle mounting area add up to just over 5/8" thick
Twin blade design
Unique twin blade design provides more of a mulch action that reduces the size of the clippings and reduces bunching.
Electric clutch
The blades are engaged with an electric clutch which is activated by simply pulling a switch. Electric clutches can extend the life of the belt and reduce overall belt maintenance.
Farm-style clevis hitch
The tow bar features a farm clevis type connection. This system provides more degrees of motion than most types of hitching systems. This is necessary to prevent binding in rough uneven terrain.
Extended fuel capacity
Large 3-1/4 gallon fuel tank that provides 3 to 3-1/2 hours of run time
