2520 collection systems

[getindirty]

I have a Cyclone rake and a 2520. You need the independent lift or drawbar mount the rake. The 3pt can not be net down enough for the mower to be at 2-3" with the rake level on the 3 pt. I went with the Cyclone rake for the volume. Also I use the rake with a zero turn and it makes quick work of yard cleanup. Half price of the hydro dump MCS. Can be used with different equpiment. Great product support. Large volume (44 bushels?). 10 to 1 reduction ratio. Folds flat vs hard plastic bin storage. And another motor! The mounting lets you reverse without any problem but watch the turns!

My experience with the MCS on a 62"MMM:

My 2520 with the 62" MMM deck rips up the lawn. I have had the new round profile wheels put on it and it still does it. Not as bad as the old square profile wheels, but it still does it. There is not enough offset in the axel to make it caster correctly. Today I put on the three bag power bagger system. You are supposed to run the right set of wheels 1 hole lower to help support the weight of the blower. Now it is worse again because the deck doesn't sit level with the power blower on it so the right wheel tears up the lawn. It gets sideways and won't straighten out till it makes a trench. Does anyone have a fix for this or have they had any luck with JD. I have another complaint into them but haven't heard back yet.
I love all the attachments with the exception of the deck and bagger system.

wingsaircharter,
I put the blower on and then had to re-level the deck to adjust for the added weight. I also have not had a problem with the wheels scalping unless I have mowed in reverse witout raising the deck ( I have squared wheels) . I have had nothing but good expiriences with the mcs (powerflow) system and the 62d mmm. I do also have uneven sections of the field that do not scalp. As long as I pay attention.
