Any Cyclone Rake Owner's with Fine Cut Deck?

[connor77]

Need to pick up some kind of leaf vacuum for both my property and my parents property and I'm leaning toward the middle size cyclone rake. I was wondering if anyone that has one might also have a fine cut deck on their machine (RCK54P23BX). I called CR and they weren't familiar with my deck and I don't really want something that doesn't fit properly. I need to send the person I spoke to measurements of the deck opening which I'll do so they can check to see if they have a MDA (mower deck adaptor) that might fit or can be modified to fit.
Wondered if anyone used a cyclone rake with their BX and if they needed anything special to get it to work with their mower deck.

I run my cyclone rake with my bx1500. I have a 48" mmm and all I did was trace the deck opening onto the mower deck adapter and cut it out with a scroll saw and drill two holes in the deck for the mounting bolts.

I'm not familiar with the "fine cut" deck, but as long as the dimensions of the discharge opening dont exceed the MDA, I don't see why you would have any problems.

I love my cyclone rake. I don't know what I would do without it.
