Yeah, the lift cylinder has a quick coupler, so you lose dump to raise the deck. That should be OK on this size machine.
A lot of mowing would be done with the loader removed, this is a finish mower, not a shredder.
If you did have the loader on, your probably gonna use it to pick up rocks and stuff, and don't need to dump (as much)
hey, a diverter would be nicer, but this is an option.
I think I better go find some tidbit out, ol' Dutch is starting to show me Up!!
