Many quality features are provided:
A transmission oil cooler is standard equipment:
The full-length, welded C-channel steel frame provides plenty of strength to handle heavy equipment:
The frame is robotically metal inert gas (MIG) welded:
A front Quik-Tatch weight bracket is designed into the frame:
The front receiver hitch is designed into the frame:
The 122-cm (48-in.) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a forged-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass:
NOTE: The 9095M and 5370DM 48A Mower Decks require a standard connect or auto connect attachment (similar to 54 HC and 60 HC Mower Decks). Unlike the 54 HC and 60 HC, the shaft drive 48A Mower Deck is not a drive-over deck. Operators can rotate the mower wheels 90 degrees and roll the 48A Mower Deck under the tractor and utilize the auto connect to connect the power take-off (PTO) shaft.
Deep mower-deck forging gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:
Deep mower-deck forging gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of re-cutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
The flat-top shape of the deck forging is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:
A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy.
Material collection systems available for use with the Power Flow blower include:
The Power Flow blower and chute are easy to install. The Power Flow blower swings out for easy cleanout and cleanup.
The 48A Mower Deck has strong spindle pockets to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:
Mower wheels are heavy duty:
The 48A Mower Deck features a 16-mm (5/8-in.) diameter solid-steel rod side bumper that provides extra strength and protection.
Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.
The 48A Mower Deck is designed for maximum versatility, providing the greatest ease in changing from one mower discharge mode to another:
Deep-deck design of 14 cm (5.5 in.) delivers excellent airflow, so material can be processed quickly and efficiently. Deck is forged from 9-gauge, 3.8-mm (0.150-in.) steel and has welded-on reinforcement at the bottom edge for extra strength and durability.
High-Capacity Decks are formed in a hydraulic press to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside for reduced material buildup:
Ramps are provided to permit driving over the mower deck for installing and removing it from the tractor:
A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy:
A hose-end adapter for the appropriate water hose to be used can be purchased locally for connection to the wash port.
Optional high-performance mulching attachment
The high-performance mulching attachment provides excellent mulching performance:
Optional MulchControl™ attachment
Drive-over mower quick reference (major steps)
John Deere has designed a system that makes it easy to remove and reinstall the mower deck. A few steps need to be followed carefully to ensure success.
The list below includes the major steps. Refer to the operator’s manual for a more detailed procedure. The tractor most likely has the mower already installed, so these steps begin with the removal procedure.

The MulchControl attachment makes mulching more 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 the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
MulchControl operation
The optional MulchControl attachment comes with a handle on top of the mower deck that is used to open and close the discharge baffle:
An optional hydraulic MulchControl actuator attachment is available to replace the standard control lever and allow the operator to control MulchControl from the seat using the tractor’s hydraulic control lever.
NOTE: To have hydraulic control of the MulchControl baffle, both MulchControl and hydraulic MulchControl actuator attachments must be ordered. The hydraulic MulchControl actuator is an extra-cost option for the MulchControl attachment.
Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa with the hand lever or hydraulic MulchControl actuator option takes only a few seconds.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side-discharge or bagging when needed.
MulchControl limitations
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch 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:
MulchControl compatibility
MulchControl is a field-installed attachment. Mulching blades are included.
MulchControl is for 2015 and later X700 and X900 Signature Series Tractors with:
NOTE: The hydraulic MulchControl actuator is not available for the 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep™ Mower Deck.

BM26300 MulchControl attachment (54 HC)
High-capacity mower decks have ramps positioned on top of the deck for easy installation:
To remove the mower deck:
AutoConnect driveshaft is an optional kit that will automatically connect or remove the drive from the mower deck to the tractor's mid power take-off (PTO) shaft.
The AutoConnect drive does not need to be removed from the tractor when using front-powered equipment.
The optional MulchControl system makes mulching more 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 the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings.
An optional hydraulic MulchControl actuator is available to shift the MulchControl baffle using the tractor’s hydraulic control lever. Operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it possible to change between modes:
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:
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.
Each MulchControl system is an optional factory- or field-installed attachment and includes everything needed for handle actuation: baffles, handle, and mulch blades. If desired, the optional hydraulic actuator needs to be ordered separately.
MulchControl is compatible with X750, X754, X758, X940, X948, and X949 Tractors with one of the following mower decks:
Optional hydraulic MulchControl actuator (BUC10536) is available for model year 2019 and newer 9096M and 0281DM 137-cm (54-in.) or 9097M and 0410DM 152-cm (60-in.) High Capacity Mower Decks (serial number 070,001-). Mower must be equipped with a basic MulchControl attachment:
BUC10705 122-cm (48-in.) Accel Deep MulchControl
The 122-cm (48-in.) Edge™ Xtra Mower and 137-cm (54-in.) and 152-cm (60-in.) Edge High Capacity (HC) Mowers use a high-performance Power Flow blower to collect material into a variety of material collection systems:
Features are as follows:
NOTE: The Power Flow limits the use of the drive over decks – right ramp needs to be removed to get drive belt for Power Flow on/off.
