On my TZ18DA I have to adjust the adjustable lift arm a good bit when I change back and forth between my mower and my box scraper to get it to lift level. Is this normal? Neither the mower or box blade looks bent in any way, but there is a big weight difference.

Check your rear tire pressure. If one tire is lower than te other, the heavier implement will make that side squat more .

Rear tire pressure, as suggested. Or perhaps the mower is not weighted symmetrically side to side due to deck and drive construction. The box blade probably is.

Other comments above are true. If tires look evenly aired up and hitch looks ok don't worry as making the adjustments is normal. I have always had to adjust my 1700 when changing implements. The plow being the worst, I have to lower one side 2 to 3 inches. I adjust every time if necessary.

I keep the tire pressures in check. I guess it is just the way it is. It is no big deal, I was just wondering about it.
