As long as you are having to look, maybe consider a Cyclone Rake. It will offset the cost of the PowerFlow unit and remove the extra weight on the discharge side of the deck and I feel get a better unit, since it holds a lot more and can dump if you have a ravine or hole you want to fill. I bought a Cyclone Rake that was initially used on a Kubota Zero Turn. I made it fit my Scotts L17.542, 42” deck, then modified it to fit my X738 with 54” deck. I skipped attaching it to the X360, 48” deck, since it had the mulching kit installed. I used it for just mowing. The X738 is used for mowing, leaf pickup, spreading fertilizer/lime, snow blowing, and occasionally use the blade to level leaf piles or gravel on my son’s driveway.
It all depends on what comes up first. A lot of the used PowerFlow units get sold with the tractor or once in a while with a deck.
The housing doesn't go all the way into the deck discharge opening. The small rod that's on the left of the unit is supposed to go into the wheel housing block and its about 3 to 4 inches short of hitting the hole. I even tried taking the grass flap off to see if that would help, but it didn't. Even though the deck is bigger I would guess that the housing for the power flow 54 inch is not as deep. My plan B is when leaf time comes I am just going to mount my deck from the 48" and mount the power flow on that and use the 48 for cleanup. That worked great previous years on my x360 so should be ok on the 530.When you say it isn’t going to fit, what is different other than the belt length? Deck depth would be the other thing I would expect to cause an issue.
