What happens here

Corey showcases two advanced chute blocker systems: the 'Chute Blocker' (or 'Chevy Cavalier' version) on a Bobcat mower and the 'Hex Factor' (or 'Cadillac' version) on a Hustler mower. The Chute Blocker is an all-steel, manual system with an extended handle, allowing the operator to open and close the discharge chute while mowing. The Hex Factor offers even greater control with five different adjustable positions, allowing partial opening to avoid windrows and achieve a clean cut. It also fully retracts, moving completely out of the way for navigating narrow passages or gates. Both systems are designed to offer superior control over grass discharge in various mowing conditions.

Goal: Provide advanced and precise control over grass discharge from mowers.

What they say

Hide

you're mowing. That's kind of one of the things that I don't like, you know, but shoot blockers typically you're going to mow with it open, right? So 90% of the time if you're out there mowing in this field standing or you're mowing most places you have it open, but when you get in those tight areas around houses, pools, people, courtyards, mulch beds, rock beds, and you want to control the discharge >> That's any bolts or that you ribbons on these. >> Yeah, so you've got the And see that just really adds a little bit of >> It really does. When you look at it I was like >> of looks Look at that Hustler. Looks pretty sharp, doesn't it? >> Yeah. All right, so but now this is the Cadillac. >> Yeah, so this is the Hex Factor and I don't believe there's anything like this on the market. Now, with this, there are some more moving parts, right? You've got cables and you've got springs. So, to make it do what this does, you've got a little bit more complexity to it. So, the reason it's called the Hex Factor is because it's got the ability So, if Austin's mowing, and he wants to just control the discharge a little bit, he doesn't want to leave a windrow cuz a chute blocker will leave a windrow, right? If you shut down the only escape for grass, >> Mhm. >> you know what happens, then it leaves a windrow. So, he has the ability to control this in five different positions. Also, though, all the way up Austin, go all the way back up again. It's completely up. So, if you've got to get through a gate, a fence, you're running it along something, it's completely up. So, it's out of the way. But, I use this one quite a bit. We use it on our Ferris as well. So, I like the ability to have it about a quarter of the way open. Um so, if Austin's mowing and he wants to let he just some of the grass escape, but yet not blow it recklessly against our cars and against our glass. >> Can you give me price points on this equipment, Corey? >> This one's around 300, 200, um and then like 65 if you need a bracket or not, 60 to 65. >> And go let's go back to the baggers real
