Three Edge Xtra mower decks are available.
- 48-in. Edge Xtra
- 54-in. Edge Xtra
- 62-in. Edge Xtra
- Note:
- The 48-in. mower will not fit the X720 Tractor with the Special-Edition option because it will interfere with the tractor's front fenders.
These mowers are designed to provide excellent performance and are easily converted to each of the primary mowing modes:
- Side-discharge
- Mulching
- Material collection

 | Edge Xtra mower decks |
The 48-, 54-, and 62-in. Edge Xtra mowers use the latest in 3-spindle mowing technology to raise performance to a higher level.
The Edge Xtra Cutting System identifies mower decks with resilient 4-point mounting systems, wider gauge wheels, and 1/4-in. cut height increments.

 | Underside of mower is free of obstructions |
The mower decks are designed to minimize obstructions under the deck to permit free flow of grass clippings.
| | |
- Mower blade overlap is greater, so striping between blades is less likely; the blade overlap of the 48 in. mower is 40 mm compared to 25 mm for the previous 48-in. mower
- There is more distance between the front wall of the mower deck and the blades, which allows the grass more time to stand up for a clean cut after passing under the front edge of the mower; the increased distance also reduces the amount of blowout of dry grass and leaves from the front edge of the deck
- The rear surface of the deck above the blades is deeper to give more room above the blades; this allows the mower to handle more material without affecting the cut quality
| | |
| Mower deck durability |
| |
 | Thick steel deck construction |
Mowers are formed from thick steel material to prevent damage from heavy use and ensure continued excellent performance and long life.
| | |
- The 48-in. mower is formed from heavy 3 mm material
- The 54-in. and 62-in. are formed from even heavier 3.4 mm material
An edge formed around the deck adds strength and stiffness. The turned-up outer edge also helps protect trees and other obstructions from damage if hit by the mower.
| | |
| Mulching |
| |
 | 48-in. mower and mulching attachment shown |
The mulching attachment provides excellent performance.
| | |
- Controls clippings at all three blades effectively for improved mulching and more even distribution of mulched clippings
- Plastic molded parts will not rust
- The mulching attachment is held in place with wing nuts for easy installation
- Special mulching blades are included; they can also be used for side-discharge mowing and with any of the Power Flow™ Material Collection Systems, though performance may not be as good as with the standard mower blades
- The 54-in. and 62-in. mulch plugs are made in two pieces; for convenience most side-discharging and material collection can be done by only removing the right half of the plug
