Claims3
A lawn mower comprising:
- a combustion engine for driving a plurality of rotating cutting blades that are part of a cutter deck structure;
- and
- wherein the cutter deck structure comprises a trim baffle that helps define a cutting chamber, the trim baffle including a plurality of teeth defined at a bottom edge thereof in order to help vegetation to be directed into a path of at least one of the rotating cutting blades.
A lawn mower comprising:
- an engine for driving a plurality of rotating cutting blades that are part of a cutter deck structure;
- and
- wherein the cutter deck structure comprises a diverter edge at a side of the cutter deck structure, the diverter edge extending downwardly to an elevation below an elevation at which a leading edge of the cutter deck structure is provided in order to help reduce occurrences of long vegetation from sliding around a side of the cutter deck structure during mowing operations.
A lawn mower comprising:
- an engine for driving a plurality of rotating cutting blades that are part of a cutter deck structure;
- and
- wherein the cutter deck structure comprises an inclined surface extending downward from a substantially planar surface of the cutter deck structure toward a trim side of the cutter deck structure, the inclined surface being inclined at an angle of from about 15 to 50 degrees relative to the substantially planar surface of the cutter deck structure in order to improve cutting characteristics of the mower.
