When my tractor(DK40) was delivered. There was a problem with the mower hitting the rear tire while driving off the flat bed delivery truck.Now I realize it hits anytime the mower is lifted too high.Is this a common problem with compact tractors?The mower is a KK 60".Is there any adjustment to remedie this or is it just the way it's going to be.Any help would be appreciated.

If your mower is just hitting one tire then it could be that you need to simply adjust your sway bar.

I have had a couple of different brand tractors do this. I just don't raise the mower as high unless I HAVE to. You also might be able to adjust your top link to help a little(for loading-unloading). If I remember right the KK sets real close to the tractor. The 60" is rather small for that size tractor, the bigger mowers may set a little farther back.
