50c vs 44c deck?
Hey guys, I'd like your thoughts on which is better, a 44c deck or a 50c? Does either one cut faster and/or throw the grass out better than the other?

One is 44" wide, the other is 50" wide. Which one do you think will cut faster?
They are the exact same thing, only one is wider. I run both side by side on two different tractors. The 50" takes more power to run..... because it's bigger.

If 14hp and up =50 Otherwise 44 I have both but have never had either on a tractor less than 18hp, I thought they both cut nicely.

I have both on supers the 44 for getting into tight spots, the 50 for everywhere else. The bigger the deck the more strain on tractor. I do not like the 60" decks due to this reason as well as being very heavy to deal with. I think the 60" deck is an engine killer. I know there are members that love them. the 44C and 50C are great decks.

Let me throw this out here, these mentioned decks are not a deep deck, they tend to clog underside in heavy wet grass, and thus don't give a golf course look.
Do they work? yes, and produce a good cut when adjusted correctly, and blades are kept sharp. They are not a zero turn, with a deep deck, go fast git-er-done, or golf course green results. Gator blades make finer clippings and work fantastic @ making a lot of leaves disappear in the fall. During regular mowing, some prefer them others prefer conventional blades. Best to try a test or two, on your application of conventional Vs. gator mulching blades and decide for yourself. this is my experiences, yours will vary. Disclaimer: Some earthworms,amphibians & snakes were harmed, mutilated or killed during the course of these mowing endeavors. But rest assured it was not intended. The follow up of a dozen chickens after the mowings insure that the casualties were proper recycled through their digestive systems, and the resulting eggs were protein rich.

Thanks guys. I'm running an 1811, should've mentioned that before. I thought I've seen guys on these forums that reported better experiences with 50c vs 44c decks, so I thought I'd just ask on here what you all thought.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
