# Purchasing Mower Deck Adapters (MDAs) Separately

One of our most common questions concerns purchasing Mower Deck Adapters (MDAs) separately—whether you're a current Cyclone Rake owner needing an additional adapter, or you own another brand's lawn vacuum system. The good news is: Yes, you can purchase an MDA without buying a complete Cyclone Rake system!

## MDAs for Non-Cyclone Rake Systems

If you currently own a lawn and leaf vacuum system from another manufacturer, our MDAs may be compatible with your equipment. We offer adapters that work with various hose diameters:

- **6-inch systems**: Many lawn and leaf vacuums are built for 6-inch diameter connections, and we have you covered! Our 6-inch Mower Deck Adapters provide a streamlined debris path to deliver maximum debris flow and offer superior protection against clogging.
- **7-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch systems**: We also offer MDAs compatible with these larger diameter systems, ensuring compatibility with most vacuum equipment on the market.

All of our available MDAs are located in on convenient location: [Mower Deck Adapters](https://www.cyclonerake.com/mower-deck-adapters)

## Pricing Information

MDAs purchased separately (without a Cyclone Rake) typically range from $139.00 to $169.00, plus applicable tax and a $30 shipping charge. Please note that when purchased as part of a complete Cyclone Rake system, MDAs are available at a discounted price.

## Pre-Cut vs. Uncut MDAs

Whether your MDA comes pre-cut or uncut depends on your specific mower model:

- **Pre-Cut MDAs**: These arrive ready to install on your mower deck, making installation quick and straightforward.
- **Uncut MDAs**: These come with comprehensive instructions and diagrams to guide you through cutting the opening to match your deck specifications and drilling two small mounting holes if needed.

## Finding the Right MDA & Switching Between Mowers

Our [New Tractor Setup](https://www.cyclonerake.com/new-mower-parts-by-rake) makes it easy to find everything you need. This handy tool helps you:

- Find the correct MDA for your specific mower make, model, and deck size
- Determine if you need a pre-cut or uncut adapter
- Identify all necessary components if you're switching between multiple mowers

If you own multiple mowers, remember that you may need to change up to three components when switching between them: the hitch, the deck hose, and the mower deck adapter. Having additional MDAs on hand makes switching between mowers much more convenient!
