Forward swept axles 520h

[Parrothead Al 17]

What is the purpose of having the swept forward axle on the 520h? I'm not seeing a lot of information on this.

It was to provide clearance for the use of a 60" deck.

Ok that makes good sense. Thank you

It looks cool too.

You also get a tighter turning radius, 1 inch spindles and on later models, gear reduction steering.

Also, the longer wheelbase from the forward swept axle gives better stability with a front end loader.
