I have a new 2520 on order and have asked my dealer a question and he really isn't exactly sure of the answer, but says he will get back to me. Maybe I can get a quicker answer here.
The tractor is going to have the 62D MMM, without the independent lift. Meaning the deck height will be controlled by the rockshaft lever. (Just as an aside, why do they call it a "Rockshaft").
Anyway, I didn't go with the independent lift, because I want to be able to use the FEL (200CX also coming with the tractor) while the mower deck is on the tractor. Is there any way, to "Lock" the mower deck in the upper position, and still have control over the 3 PT lift arms?
I know you can lock out the hydraulics by closing the control valve, which would keep the deck up, but I assume this will also keep the lift arms up.
The reason I ask, is that I plan on using the "Quick Hitch" on the rear arms to mount a reciever hitch with trailer ball on it, to be able to move trailers with the standard ball type coupler.
It would be nice if I could keep the deck up when attaching to trailers.
