Abstract
A height of cut and rake adjustment system for a rough, trim and surround mower deck with a pair of front height of cut arms and a pair of rear height of cut arms. Each height of cut arm is pivotably mounted to the mower deck on a pivot axis below an upper end of each height of cut arm. An adjustable height of cut linkage extends between the upper end of each front height of cut arm and the upper end of each rear height of cut arm. An adjustable rake linkage extends between the upper end of each front height of cut arm and an intermediate portion of each rear height of cut arm below the pivot axis.

A height of cut and rake adjustment system, comprising:
- a front height of cut arm and a rear height of cut arm, each height of cut arm pivotably mounted to a rotary cutting deck on a pivot axis below an upper end of each height of cut arm;
- a height of cut linkage extending between the upper end of each front height of cut arm and the upper end of each rear height of cut arm;
- and
- a rake linkage extending between the upper end of each front height of cut arm and an intermediate portion of each rear height of cut arm below the pivot axis.
A height of cut and rake adjustment system, comprising:
- a pair of height of cut linkages extending fore and aft above a left side and a right side of a mower deck;
- a pair of rake linkages extending fore and aft adjacent the left side and right side of the mower deck;
- each of the pair of height of cut linkages and the pair of rake linkages having an effective length that is manually adjustable to change an angle of a pair of front height of cut arms and an angle of a pair of rear height of cut arms relative to the mower deck.
