25HP Kohler Confidant commercial grade twin cylinder engine
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.
The cutting height can quickly and easily be adjusted from 2"-8" with the two crank height adjustment system.
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.
Unique twin blade design provides more of a mulch action that reduces the size of the clippings and reduces bunching.
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.
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.
Large 3-1/4 gallon fuel tank that provides 3 to 3-1/2 hours of run time
