There has been so much talk about these decks and being that I have owned and currently own all 3 I thought I'd comment on the differences I almost feel obligated being that this site has helped me out of so many pinches with repairs etc
The ultra cut is a tightly baffled deck with a small discharge opening it processes the clippings and chops them up very finely it leaves an extremely nice finished cut in dryer conditions. it does clump a bit when it's wet but nothing you can't deal with if you use your head.
The velocity plus is a great cutting deck my biggest issue with it is it does not process clippings it cuts them and being a very open baffle deck with a big discharge cuts clean and leaves clippings on top of the grass for my situation in the northeast it's not really acceptable and I always have to double sometimes triple cut the clippings to chop them up
The ICD deck is right smack in the middle it's got a very big discharged opening tightly baffled not quite as tightly as the X mark but definitely more so then the velocity plus probably my favorite of the 3
You can probably tell from my tone I'm not a huge fan of the velocity plus I know guys on here a love them they do cut extremely well but the lawn clippings a real pain however to just cut in wet weather conditions it's probly the best option if you can deal with the clippings length.
