Jkmetcalf,

Nice looking tractor.

What model and year (approximately--I realize there are not precise "model years" for Kubotas--LOL) is your tractor?

And just curious: how wide is your mower deck?

Thanks,

My Hoe

In between deck off cleanings, I sometimes drive back across a low pile of wood chips or out in the field willow brush, this scours the bottom nice and clean most times.

won't hurt the tractor like that.
when you lower it, let it sit a bit before you start it so oils can run back where they belong, etc.

safety? just always plan for the 'whatever can go wrong, will go wrong' and you'll be fine.
I have 2 hoists and 2 trolleys on my gantry to help with those gremlins (and it makes working on tri-cycle tractors easier)
I always throw something under with me....thicker than my head lol when I am under stuff.
your pic?...no problem...4x4 wedged under there will give me a second or 2 if needed...
4' long prybar to clean lets me do it from my chair......

clean em.....depends on where you live...if you wait for perfectly dry conditions here, your lawn will never get mowed..gotta clean it.

I use ramps and just an ordinary brass hose nozzle to spray off as much as I can. I'm never under the tractor or deck and have the deflector raised to reach as much area as possible. I do it over the lawn and then rake the droppings over a large area. It may not be perfect but I get more than 90% of the stuck on grass. BTW, mowing when the grass is nice and dry helps too.

I won't comment on how to best clean the deck but will comment on cleaning it. This year we have had a pretty wet year until the last month. I've mowed several times when the cars was a little wet or often really wet. On clean dry grass, it will often clean the underside of the deck and even polish it but I mowed when I had time. The build up was so bad with wet green grass it was smelling really bad, almost fermenting. The cut was also not good. Sometimes you almost have to clean it.
