Mowing 1026R mower lift?

[TCowner]

I suppose if I had gotten the loader with my 1026R I might have thought twice about the hydraulic lift option to lift the deck. I think its just a personal choice. On my 3720 compact it seems like I've got my hand positioned on the hydraulic controls so much of the time that it just seems so natural to lift the mower using the same control.

It seems like it settles a little over time but not to the point its a problem. But it seems like it raises quicker than the three point control.

I had this option on my 855 and 955 compact tractors in the past and liked the way it worked.

I like the independent hydraulic on my 2320 also. It seems more natural for the deck than the 3 point. I don't have the diverter because I always remove the loader when I mow, so I'm disconnecting hoses anyway. Not sure why a post above complained about making the hydraulic connections - it only takes a few seconds.
