I recently bought a John Deere 1026R TLB with the 60D mower for my 3.5 acres. I spent a lot of time deliberating between the 2320 and the 1026R. I went with the 1026R due to the significantly lower price (bout 3K diff for whole package), more HP, and some of the creature comforts on the 1026R. It was delivered on Thursday and i've used it every day since and it's a powerful little sucker! My question is on the auto-connect 60D deck. It only sits 3 1/4" off the ground in it's fully raised position (floor to the bottom of the deck I took that measurement on a level concrete floor). That seems really low to me and I don't remember if the other models at the dealer sat that low. My father in law just bought the Kubota bx2360 w/ their 60 deck his sits at about 6 off the ground in it's fully raised position. I called the dealer and they're going to have someone come and look at it but I wanted to pose the question to this forum b/c it's been really helpful for me in my decision making process. That low deck height is really annoying it drags over the slightest bump if I'm moving it around also the very front in the center seems to sit a little lower than the back. Anyone else experienced anything like this or can anyone else w/ a 1026R or 1023E w/ the 60D auto connect tell me their clearance on the deck?
