Ya,
I agree on deck design!
I have a 50"deck on the 782 and the mag 18 doesn't know it is there.
But if you go a little too fast it doesn't cut as clean, leaving streaks between the razor sharp blades, especially in crab grass and if the grass is damp, it clogs up inside.
Those decks are not deep enough like the newer thinking/designs.
After a 4 hour mowing, I have to scrape out the underside or it's a really ugly cut.
but I just consider it maint. and it drops/installs so easy compared to the old 210 Deere.
If the lawn to be cut is dry and or littered with small twigs the deck self cleans, but that is not always the case.
