I've had a JD 210 with the 47" deck for many years. I have always adjusted the deck so that it "hangs" from the tractor and the guide wheels only contact the ground on high spots. I just got another 200 series tractor and the deck is adjusted very differently. The deck is adjusted so it drops all the way to the ground, and it basically "floats" while rolling on all 4 guide wheels (the guide wheels are in the highest postion). Seems to give a good cut as the deck follows the terrain. What's the "right" way to position the deck?
