I haven’t seen any recent postings regarding the 62DMMM and divot problems. Was it resolved with addition of the washers and the zerks

Piedmont,

The 62D divot problem HAS NOT been solved! I have requested Deere to buy mine back. They responded with a set of rounded front wheels. These helped but did not solve the problem (Which is lessened anyway as the ground dries out entering summer and begins to be more firm.) I am awaiting Deere's response with something else to try or offer to buy back.

Hmm interesting, so you've had the dealer do the "fix" that was discussed here and have added rounded wheels and still doesn't work! Please keep us updated on your progress that has got to be a real pain considering the investment.

I've had mine now for over a month. It came with grease fittings on the front spinners, from the factory (I posted a picture a while back.). Knock on wood, it has not made one divot in my yard.

That's good to hear it seems the fix has been met with mixed reviews but it's good to see that Deere is paying attention.
How does the powerflow hook up to the drawbar? Is it bolted on like the 2305?

Yes, the MCS bolts onto the drawbar. I don't consider the drawbar a separate component on the MCS - it's a permanent fixture and I can always get another drawbar if I run into the need for one.

I have a brand new 2320 (2 weeks) with the 62D, grease fittings installed from factory. I was originally concerned, but the deck has been flawless so far without a single divot.
