I do not have an Imatch. I don't know if it can be picked up that way or not. I just use a short strap and lift it with the bucket for cleaning etc.

BTW: Very nice looking field! Our club's field is rather rustic by comparison.

Killer,
That's the answer I was hopping for, 5 minutes isn't bad. I won't bother waiting for the drive on model to come out. They say June but it could be longer and will surely be more expensive anyway. I have a concrete pad outside I can use to remove the deck. A sling on the loader to pick up the deck to do maintenance sounds safer than crawling under a deck supported by the iMatch anyway. Thanks for the compliments on the runway, it has been a lot of work and we do little improvements every year.
