2520 w/72" Deck

megaboz · Jun 9, 2011

My old Kubota had the 60 inch deck, and dragging it in and out was a pain, so most of the time it stayed on, got a little beat up, but it was sure worth it not having to drag it out and back in. No concrete here, so I had to drag it through gravel and dirt.

While the 62D is easy to get off, my first attempt at getting it back on wasn't so easy, but at least I didn't have to drag it under the tractor.

Hey Greg. when mower deck hooks to draft links is it foward of where you hook up for implements? Or do they hook to link arms themselves?

My first John Deere CUT had the mid mount mower that was lifted by some extensions from the 3-point draft arms. It worked OK for a while. But then my habits changed, as I started to use a landscape rake and added hydraulic top and tilt. The tilt allowed the rake to actually do what I call "landscaping", when you are digging at an angle other than that which the tractor is setting on, such as cutting or grooming a trail into a hillside, which ends up fairly level. So anyway, once I started doing that stuff, when I'd put on the mower the mower would also be all tilted, so I would park on a level area, and adjust the sidelink to make the mower about level. But it never was exactly right, and changed over time to due settling. So I guess my opinion is if you are planning on using a hyd sidelink, or doing any landscaping work that involves changing the mechanical turnbuckle sidelink, get the independent mower lift.

Is this what you are asking?
