2305 Can I get MMdeck to cut higher?

Mower deck raises to the same height no matter what the knob is set at.
*That would be the 'locked' position.

*No that would be the raised position but it would be unlocked.
To lock it there you have to set the knob that loks it there to the lock setting.

You can mow in any position between fully raised and the 4'' knob setting .

At that point you are depending on hydraulics alone to hold the deck in place, and ni the event you don't have an asphalt smooth yard I would think the deck would work it's way down to whatever the knob is set at.. that and how do you get a consisten cut height from one day to the next using just the hydraulics?

"Plus I have noticed as I lift the deck the knob on floor when move just a little bit I do not remember the 2210 with mmm doing this."

My 2305 does not do this, nor should yours! The adjustment knob sits on the shaft of a graduated cam that the deck lift arm will sit on when its lowered. When the arms (deck) is raised, you might see some tension release off the knob, but it shouldn't move much at all.

If your dealer can't get it, I don't think he's trying too hard, or he's not ordering new parts that you need. The tractor is designed to mow between 1.5-4/4.5", and everyone in the world (that is correctly aligned) does. Except yours! Its either not aligned correctly, or you need a new part(s)... Good luck with it!

I've mowed small high areas at the fully lifted position then lowered it to the knob setting mowing height for the 2nd & final mow.

My 2305 is a few months old and did the same thing when first delivered. I thought I was nuts when on the highest setting and it was mowing so short. First fix was go a few clicks past the highest mark, but dealer called Deere and found an adjustment. It is a different design than the pic posted.

The picture is one with the hydraulic lift, or I'd assume so anyways, it certainly acts like it's hydraulic.
