?@*#!!! MMM is now loose from the PTO!

msm50 · Jan 22, 2006

Okay! I feel like Wonder Woman! I got the mid PTO loose from the MMM. Now for the next question: How do I get the #@$%!!! MMM out from under the tractor? I've got a 7500 HSD if that helps. It has a FEL. Thanks!!

Way back when I had my first tractor the owner's manual said to simply drive over it with the front tires. Before reading the manual I used the FEL to life the front end of the tractor off the ground so I could slide the MMM to the side...but running over it was a whole lot faster and easier.

I also think that right now, running over it would make you feel alot better /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What would make it even better, if the MMM would make a ###&! while your running it over /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If you have a FEL raise the front wheels off the ground with the bucket. Then pull the MMM out from under the tractor. If you do not have a FEL use a floor jack to raise front axle up high enough to get mower out from under tractor.

I've had several Kubotas with MMM's over the years, and all of the manuals said to simply back the tractor across the mowing deck.

Of course, it helps a LOT if the tractor has 4WD, plus I put some scraps of 2x6 in front of the MMM to act as a step up. But the mowing deck is plenty strong enough to support the weight of the tractor.

I would think your MMM would be similar to the BX deck, on it you just turn the four antiscalp wheels 90 degrees and the deck rolls right out from under the tractor.
