It features a fully welded, heavy-duty tubular steel frame providing enhanced strength and stability whilst travelling over different terrains. The 10-gauge, fabricated deck is both durable and capable of excellent cut quality. All models come with a dial-operated deck height selector. Depress the deck height foot pedal and, with a quick turn of the intuitively positioned dial, you can select from one of 13 cutting heights. Operator comfort is enhanced by a professional-style plush high back seat with armrests and padded control arms. Being a zero-turn, the IKON XD mows twice as fast as a typical ride-on. At the end of each pass, it can turn 180° in its own footprint, ready for cutting the next row. While all models come fitted with side-discharge decks, an optional conversion kit transforms the IKON XD into a high performance mulcher.
