2005 F725, general questions about mower deck and Power Flow bagger

KTMRC81190 · Jul 5, 2013

I picked up a "new to me" 2005 F725, 54" deck with the Power Flow bagger. It has 241 hours on it and it looks like its brand new & I have a few questions. How can I get the cutting deck to stay in the raised position for removing the mower blades? I read the manual and it says "to raise the deck, lift the button, to lower, let it go". Thats great, but I need it raised to put it in the shed and for loading and unloading on the trailer.

I used it for the first time last night and it seems pretty good, decent power and manoeuvrability. The locking diff is a nice option. The tail end swings around just like the combine so it does not take much to get used to.

Any info and tips would be greatly appreciated. I tried doing some searches, but did not come up with much.

I have a 725, there is no way to lock the deck in the up position, all you can do is slow how fast it will come down, I put a chain on mine to allow me to work on it but the deck is prety heavy to keep in the up position
