Productivity - getting the job done fast
![Trim side of Accel Deep Mower Deck](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4x001400_trim_side_584x350.jpg)
Deep mower-deck forging delivers high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows room for the cut and suspended material to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:
- Greatly improves the mower’s capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance and cut quality in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds
- Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal recutting, and an even distribution of clippings.
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
- Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
- Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
Cleanliness - for the mower and the operator
![Accel Deep Mower Deck, trim side](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4x001402_accel_mower_467x450.jpg)
Cleaning a mower deck is one of the most frequent maintenance activities. The flat-top shape of the deck forging is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
- There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
- Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
- Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
- Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside of deck
- The depth of the Accel Deep Mower Deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck.
- Limited amount of material drifts onto the operator and mower deck
- Even for material discharged out the chute, less recutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
- Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely and MulchControl makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.

A wash port and hose connector are provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy.
How MulchControl works
![MulchControl baffle in open position](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4j003339_mulch_1_575x300.jpg)
![MulchControl baffle in closed position](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4j003340_mulch_578x300_2.jpg)
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- The MulchControl baffle, or divider, between the left and middle spindles is about halfway down. The height is designed to balance the mulching and side-discharge modes.
- When the MulchControl baffle is open, the divider between the left and middle spindles passes a portion of the material to the discharge opening, along with the material from the middle and right spindle areas.
- When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
Superior durability is designed in
![Hinged spindle pocket cover](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4j003278_hinged_spindle_442x350.jpg)
![Double-captured mower wheel](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4j003319_double_wheel_450x350.jpg)
Accel Deep Mower Decks have strong spindle pockets to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:
- Forged from strong 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.4-mm) steel
- Ribs in the deck shell add strength where it is needed.
- Mower wheels are double captured:
- Provides greater strength and durability for longer, trouble-free life
- Single-bolt adjustment makes setting wheels to the correct cutting height quick and easy
- Low-tension belt-drive design reduces the side load on engine lower bearings and mower deck bearings for longer life.
- A 5/8-in. (16-mm) diameter solid-steel rod side guard provides extra strength and protection.
- Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.
Versatility - easy to change between side discharge, mulch, and bagging modes
Accel Deep Mower Decks are designed for maximum versatility, providing the greatest ease in changing from one mower discharge mode to another:
- With MulchControl, changing from side discharging to mulching or vice versa is done with the simple flip of a lever.
- On 48A and 54A Mower Decks, the Power Flow rear bagger can be used with MulchControl by simply using the MulchControl lever to move the mulch baffle to the side-discharge position.
MulchControl option
The MulchControl system for Accel Deep Mower Decks is an optional field-installed attachment and makes mulching practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect lawn material.
Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
- A beautiful looking lawn
- Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
- Less fertilizer required
- Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
![MulchControl handle](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/z500/r4j003343_munch_handle_450x426.jpg)
- The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.
- The operator is required to get off the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
- Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa takes only a few seconds.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
- Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl still mulches about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
- When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
- When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
- When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired

0.75-in. (2-cm) x 2-in. (5-cm) stake pockets are molded in to make the addition of side extensions easy.
-
Two vertical 0.75-in. (2-cm) molded channels on each side allow easy use of dividers to separate the box into two or three compartments.
-
Ribs in the box bottom add strength and prevent the shovel from hitting bolts when emptying the cart.
-
Sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.
-
Styling is compatible with other John Deere equipment.
-
Pneumatic tires provide turf tread for good flotation, shock absorption, and minimal rolling resistance.

The MulchControl system makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations. It does an excellent job of mulching and allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
- Creates a beautiful looking lawn
- Smaller grass clippings disappear into the lawn canopy
- Reduces fertilizer needs
- Grass clippings are not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
- No need to dispose of bags of clippings
How MulchControl works
![MulchControl baffle open](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/s200/r4j003339_mulch_1_575x300.jpg)
![MulchControl baffle closed](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/s200/r4j003340_mulch_578x300_2.jpg)
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- The MulchControl system includes an adjustable MulchControl baffle near the discharge chute and fixed baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
![MulchControl handle](https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/lawn_equipment/features_attachment/s200/r4j003343_munch_handle_450x426.jpg)
- The MulchControl handle is on top of the mower deck and is used to open and close the MulchControl baffle.
- When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out of the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.
- When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to close the chute to control clippings in some areas
- For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- For operators who collect clippings, but want to go farther before emptying the material collection system
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings.
MulchControl limitations
While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl still mulches about one third of the material. Therefore, the side discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
- When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
- When cutting in wet, high growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
- When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired
When bagging with MulchControl on a 48A or 54A Mower Deck, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower runs without material when the baffle is closed.
Compatibility
This MulchControl system is an optional field-installed attachment and includes everything needed for handle actuation: baffles, handle, and mulch blades. It’s compatible with S240 Lawn Tractor, model year 2016 and newer X300 and X500 Series Tractors, X700 Series Tractors, and Z300 and Z500 Series ZTrak Mowers equipped with a 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep (48A) Mower Deck.
