Attaching 72inch MMM TC33D

[wayne1083]

Im getting ready to take delivery next week on a TC33D and a NH (914a)72inch reardischarge MMM. A question I forgot to ask the dealer was how easy are they to attach? Do you drive over the deck like the Kubota or do you pull it under the tractor? Thanks for your advice.

On my TC29D the book says I can take it out the side. Well neither I or my dealer can. For some reason he is thinking with Super-Steer you can't. So I use my loader to reach over the mower deck, lift the front wheels and then roll the deck into place. This works the best for me. You have to have 6 x 6 blocks for you loader to reach over and prevent pinching of the deck.

If you have SS it is a bit harder without SS it pretty much just rolls out.

I have a TC25D with the mid mount mower (this is the same tractor as yours with a lower horsepower engine) and like the others have said I have to lift the front end with the bucket and slide the mower in from the side. The problem is that my mower has two wheels on the rear that only roll forward and back. They do not pivot, so when I would try to slide the mower in from the side these wheels would have to skid across the floor. To solve this problem I found two of the small three wheel furniture dollies, the one's that have a small cup in the center and I set the rear wheels on the mower in these and now the mower is a breeze to slide under the tractor.

Hope this helps.

BAC,

Them two wheels in the back on my 72" will skid pretty easy on concrete. But again I do roll my forward of the front wheels. I reach my bucket over the deck.
