Mower cutting deck having blow-out baffle, and method of using same

摘要

A cutting deck assembly incorporating a flexible, resilient blow-out baffle and method for using same. The baffle may attach to the deck assembly such that a first elongate edge of the baffle is at or near a lower edge of a deck sidewall. A second elongate edge of the baffle may be suspended beneath an upper surface of the deck assembly. The baffle may be operable to move between a first configuration, in which the second elongate edge is at a first distance from a ground surface, and a second configuration, in which the second elongate edge is at a second distance from the ground surface, wherein the second distance is less than the first distance.
