BX 60\" mower...crooked?

Have about 5 hours on the new Bx2200 but noticed that the mower deck leans with the chute side up...even when fully raised. I should be able to figure it. The dealer is supposed to check in soon as well.

Measure it at the blades to make sure there is a lean..looking at just the deck can be deceiving. It's a simple adjustment of the hangers anyway...I'd let the dealer do it if you can. But if you are going to do it, instructions are in the mower manual on the adjustment....

Sounds like an adjustment problem, have the dealer fix it. The deck may well be heavier on one side than the other but you should be able to adjust it so that it is level for cutting. When you lift the deck you know you are supposed to then stow the deck. Do not ride around on the tractor with the deck, unstowed. Keep us posted on this. Good luck, does not sound like a big deal.

I should have been clearer in my original post. The mower sits fine when lowered...rests on the mower wheels. When you raise it you can see the "chute side" start to raise earlier than the other side and it seems to go up higher.

We only have 5 hours on the BX so far and as suggested, the "unread" mower deck manual would probably be a good place to start. The salesman came by with some Kubota hats (bluish green text?!?!) and said he would look into the deck issue.

Then I will tell you mine does the same thing, one side raises slightly ahead of the other but when it is in the stowed position it is level and in the mowing positions it is level. J

Mine does it also. The lift arm on the right side raises the deck directly, but the left side has to go through two pins, which have a little play in them, so the left lifts a little later than the right.
