92-cm (36-in.) Rear-Discharge Rear-Collect Mower Deck cuts clean

Rear hopper has large 300-L (8.5-bu) capacity and is easy to empty

X167R Tractor mowing lawn

300-L (8.5-bu) hopper is raised to empty grass

The large-capacity, rear-mounted hopper makes collecting grass and leaves easy. The rear design allows excellent maneuverability when mowing.

The 300-L (8.5-bu) capacity hopper holds a lot of material for longer mowing times between emptying. Emptying the hopper is easily accomplished from the operator’s seat.

The durable plastic bottom will last a long time, even when operating in rougher conditions.

Switch detects when the hopper is full

Indicator light on dash turns on when the hopper is full

Audible alarm sounds when the hopper is full

When the hopper is full, a light on the dash comes on and an audible alarm sounds to alert the operator to disengage the power take-off (PTO).

When the PTO is engaged and there is enough material in the hopper to activate the sensing switch, the dash-mounted hopper full indicator light and an audible alarm will be on.
This reduces the potential for plugging the system.
The hopper must be full, with enough material to activate the hopper-full switch, to activate the hopper-full indicator and alarm.

Easy-to-empty 300-L (8.5-bu) hopper

Adjustable hopper latch

The hopper is emptied by pulling up, then forward, on the hopper handle. Using the leverage of the long handle, pull forward hard enough to overcome the spring-loaded hopper latch and rotate the hopper upward.

The hopper latch is easily adjustable for operator preference and conditions:

The spring can be located in any of three holes.
More latching effort is required for hilly or rough operating conditions.

Front hopper support

Standard-equipment hitch

The hopper is easily removed from the tractor by using the rear handle to raise the back of the hopper 25 degrees, or about 13 cm (5 in.), and then using both handles to lift the hopper vertically out of the notches in the mounting brackets:

No tools are required.
There is nothing to disconnect.

When the hopper is removed from the tractor, it allows use of additional tractor features including:

Optional rear deflector
Optional mulch plug
Rear implement hitch
Tow-release lever

Interlock switches make the operator and others safer

Operator mowing with X167R Tractor

Brake pedal and parking brake lock

Safety-interlock switches are designed to help protect the operator and others. The operator must be in the seat to start or operate the tractor. The brake pedal must be depressed or the parking brake set for the tractor engine to start.

Hopper-installed sensor switch

When the hopper is removed, a safety interlock switch prevents the mower deck from operating unless the rear deflector or mulch plug is installed. However, the engine runs and the tractor operates so the rear hitch can be used.
