Abstract
A lawn mower includes a deck structure having, in an embodiment, a baffle with teeth at a front end of the deck structure opposite to a discharge opening for directing vegetation to be cut into the pathway of a blade. A trim divider edge portion, in an embodiment, prevents long vegetation from sliding around the edge of the deck structure. A trim vacuum structure portion, in some embodiments, in the form of an inclined surface at the rear end of the deck structure opposite a side of the discharge opening or at a center location of the deck structure reduces pressure within the deck structure for lifting vegetation to be cut.
