Mid-Mount Mower How are you guys lifting a mid mount mower upright for winter storage

[sroberts]

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do all of you who store mid mount mowers upright for the winter prop them up on a wall? My boys are gone now so have to do it by myself and need storage space in my new shop. Mower is 72" mid mount mower off JD 955. Do you use a hoist, winch or just pry it upright? Darn thing is too heavy for me to lift by myself.

Before I always had a flat level surface to store in outdoor garage so just pulled it off to the side but now need to economize space in small shop. Thanks for your help.

Could you use the loader to get it vertical and place it on a hand truck? Then wheel it into place against the wall.

Just when you thought you had seen everything.

I roll it up to the bench, back the tractor up to it, gently lift it up with the 3ph and strap it to the bench. My back won't allow any other method

now that is just plain cool! first time ever seeing something like that... taking off the gauge wheels and tossing in a bar with a couple rubber ends on it.

Ryan, look closer - those are actually small wheels - makes me wish my Cub RZT 50 deck gauge wheels were designed that way... Steve

Those are wheels, make it easy to scoot it around

I did the same as kenny only made my own used 1" shaft drilled and tapped holes in the end and used a set of retired lawnboy wheels . Put them on every time the deck comes off to clean up deck and sharpen blades . Get lots of comments from fellow farmers who visit my shop.

I move mine around with a hand truck. Tuck it against a wall in the shed and secure it with a strap. I thought of buying something to help move it about and then discovered how easy it was to move with a hand truck.
