48-IN. (122-CM) FABRICATED MOWER DECK IS MADE FROM 7-GAUGE, 0.179-IN. (4.6-MM) STEEL FOR RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE
The mower deck is manufactured from 7-gauge, 0.179-in. (4.6-mm) steel
A compact footprint delivers greater maneuverability when working in tight quarters
A deep-deck design delivers excellent airflow so material is processed quickly and efficiently
A powerful vacuum effect is created by the deck's unique air-flow design, which pulls more grass upright so that the blades can cut more evenly
48-in. to 61-in. (122-cm to 155-cm) decks come standard with an adjustable striping flap to enhance the after-cut appearance

LARGE OPERATOR PLATFORM & QUALITY LEANING PAD ENHANCE OPERATOR COMFORT
The large operator platform is cushioned to absorb shock to give the operator a smooth and comfortable ride.
A high-quality leaning pad is provided for operator comfort and to insulate the operator from heat given off by the machine.
A storage pocket on the battery box provides a convenient place for the operator to store a cell phone, gloves, etc.

CONTROLS ARE EASY TO LOCATE & USE FOR OPERATOR COMFORT & PRODUCTIVITY
Controls are color coded and logically placed to make them easy for the operator to find and use
Ground speed and direction are easily controlled by moving the two hand-lever hydrostatic drive controls forward or reverse
A positive neutral-lock position for the levers provides added safety
Two stationary reference bars are provided for operator convenience and security
Front reference bar is included to control speed and reduce fatigue from control lever operation
Rear reference bar is included to make reverse operation easy while maintaining operator confidence
Control levers return to neutral automatically for safety and convenience
Separate choke is easy to locate and use
Less adjustment is needed with the separate choke

MAINTENANCE IS SIMPLE & EASY TO REDUCE TIME AND COST
All service components are easy to access
Servicing is simplified because of the open engine compartment
All service and maintenance points are within easy reach
Air cleaner has two filter elements; a large outer filter and a smaller inner safety filter.
Both filters are easy to access and easy to change
Engine oil service points are grouped together in easy-to-reach locations

COMPACT DESIGN FOR EASY HAULING & EXCELLENT MANEUVERABILITY
The compact design allows the QuikTrak to operate in tighter areas that a larger machine cannot
With the compact design of QuikTrak, less space is required on a truck or trailer - which can mean there is room for an extra mower, resulting in less time on property, saving time and money.

FRAME IS COMPACT AND DURABLE FOR PRODUCTIVITY & LONG LIFE
QuikTrak Mowers are designed around a heavy-duty formed and welded steel frame for strength and reliability
More-rounded corners contribute to a clean, attractive appearance
Greater strength results from eliminating sharp angles where peak loads can cause failure
Large, 11-in. (33-cm), flat-free front caster wheels and large 20x10-8 (4-ply) rear drive wheels provide a smoother ride.

HYDROSTATIC DRIVE SYSTEM IS RELIABLE & EASY TO USE
QuikTrak Mowers use a heavy-duty hydrostatic pump and wheel-motor drive system
Heavy-duty components stand up to the stress of commercial use
Individual pump and wheel motor design allows placement of these heavy components low in the vehicle for a low center of gravity and excellent hillside stability

SAFETY FEATURES ARE BUILT-IN TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR & BYSTANDERS
Start circuit requirements
A high-quality polyethylene mower-discharge deflector
Operator station designed to allow fast exit
Two large curb wheels
Easy to remove and replace shields
Stationary handles on either side of the traction controls for operator security
Control levers return to neutral when released

MICHELIN X TWEEL TURF REAR TIRE SOLUTION FOR QuikTrak R SERIES MOWERS ELIMINATES DOWNTIME
NOTE: 18x8.5N10 Tweel turf tires are available as an ordering option for QuikTrak 648R, 652R, 652R EFI, 661R, and 661R EFI Mowers. Tweels for QuikTrak Mowers are not available as base code equipment.
Mowing performance is improved.
o Unique energy transfer within the poly-resin spokes reduces the bounce associated with pneumatic tires.
o Excellent curb climbing due to the Michelin X Tweel Turf construction and flexibility.
o More consistent cut quality because inconsistent tire pressure is eliminated.
Uptime is improved.
o The exclusive technology eliminates downtime and associated cost due to flat or damaged tires.
o Punctures and sidewall damage no longer result in downtime.
Cost of operation is reduced.
o Cost of repairs and maintenance is reduced. One single unit replaces the current tire, wheel, and valve assembly. There is no need for complex tire-mounting equipment.
o No need to spend time checking and optimizing tire pressure.
o The need to purchase and stock plug kits and spare tires is eliminated, particularly for professional landscape contractors and government agencies who normally stock them.
o The tire tread will last up to three times longer than current pneumatic tires because automotive-grade rubber is used for the tread.
