72" OnRamp Mower Deck

[Nuru]

OnRamp 72" deck (drive over deck):

Does anyone know the earliest that will be available? I am hoping I can wait but I might not. I have heard June or July of this year, however, I was hoping it would be earlier than that.

Anyone have any idea of the cost?

Anyone found any specs?

OBTW, has anyone found online access to the Deere 3000 Series Cab Tractor manuals?

Thanks!

I was told June at the earliest.

I could wait until early June.

It would be nice if someone at Deere could spill the beans on when (early or late).

My dealer said he may let me use an 84" rear mount mower he has. Not a for sure thing yet. If it's anything like using a brush hog, it's going to be a long long wait for the mmm. What a pain in the neck. In any case it was nice of him to offer.

 

[Nuru]

Yes that is a nice gesture.

This has my curiosity......

Wonder if it will be a 7Iron deck
What will it fit - 2520 perhaps?

 

[Nuru]

I only heard about the one for the 3x20 series.

I can't imagine them putting a light weight deck under a 3000 series. JMO

I also believe it is the 7 iron deck too.

If it is a 7-Iron, I wonder if there will be a conversion kit to allow upgrades of current 72" 7-Iron?

Hmmm that is a good question, but probably they don't.But you never know.

 

[Nuru]

anyone hear any news?

Sorry but I just looked at the availability update and it said August 08. But on the bright side the 2720 is now available.

 

[Nuru]

Yeah I saw that. Hopefully We get more info on the MMM.

My dealer also said August 08 for the 72" OnRamp deck. They said something about auto PTO hookup as well. If so, like to see how that works.

I see the 62D driveover for the 2000 series has a store-and-go feature where you can connect the deck to the three point to move and transport when off the tractor. Hoping that gets carried over tothe 72" as well.

Got the Links to the mower deck info?

 

[cef2lion]

I don't know if any public announcement has been made or if any links exist as yet. My info is heresay from the dealer who I think is quoting internal documents.

That would be a quite necessary feature IMHO , as heavy as this deck will be.

Talked to a dealer this past weekend and he indicatted the ramps on these units are very, very heavy duty. Also these MMMs are gonna be pretty heavy, with the additional of the ramps.

BTW, I could not wait and I bought a 2006 7 IRON for my MMM. got a good price on a slightly used MMM in very good shape.
