I recently bought a Gravely ZT X 48" (2023 model). They've done something squirrely to the deck design, where the top plate of the deck is notched out. My guess is the design is to improve performance of their factory bagging system.

I modified the only old adapter (MDA) I had for my Cyclone Rake to fit, but I think I've restricted the air flow too much - and doesn't always keep up with the high RPM of the deck, which tends to push a lot of leaves out of the front of the deck (unless I slow the blades way down).

Cyclone Rake has not come up with (what I consider) a good resolution yet. I'm looking for an MDA that I can experiment with, without blowing a couple hundred bucks. It needs to be for 7" hose.
If anyone has one they want to part with, I'll pay a fair price and cover the shipping cost. Thanks!
