B2620 Mower deck problem.

Hmmmmm.


Off to check my welds.:thumbsup:

I try to mow with the deck wheels just off the ground. I don't really think they're there to support the deck, but to stop scalping when mowing over uneven terrain. since they don't swivel it puts a lot of strain on them as they dig into the dirt while going around turns.

As I understand it, the anti-scalp wheels are not suppose to carry the weight of the MMM. They should be adjusted to about 1/2-3/4 inch above the ground based on where you set the mowing height. I never had that problem after mowing 3 seasons with the BX; and now with the B2620, I'll be watching for such a defect even though not much mowing occurred this past drought summer.

I have the exact same problem with the 60" mower deck on my B2620. Both front caster wheels have broke off more than once at the weld joint. When everything is right it mows great but those front caster wheel mounts are a BAD design.
I have this B2620 plus an L3830 with loader and BH90 backhoe, plus an RTV900, and even a Grasshopper mower wit Kubota diesel.
THIS B2620 MOWER DECK IS NOT NORMAL KUBOTA QUALITY.

My first post of Sept 2012 noted that I was instructed by the dealer to set the anti-scalp wheels @ about 1/2 inch above whatever the mowing height......which I have done ever since. And, "Yes", the front wheels have broken welds that have been repaired a couple times since.:thumbdown: The design or welds....I don't know?? My friend's welds are holding better. But it is a great tractor and does do a fine job of mowing.....just this one irksome problem.

Cheers,
