Kubota F series decks lift up hydraulically, no manual lifting required for cutting height adjusting.

I have set the cutting height once to where I wanted it and let it be - no need to mess with it in my case.
Mine requires all 4 corners of the deck to be adjusted manually. You have to pull pins and rotate the vertical supports.
Mine lifts hydraulically, but only for the purpose of clearing obstacles or setting the cutting wheels to the height you desire.
If I lift my deck off its’ wheels and tried to cut, the deck would bounce up & down.

Grasshopper definitely has the front deck models figured out. Even for the vertical service position of deck it’s completely servo driven so just the flip of a switch away. If they made a 4x4 model I would get another Grasshopper without hesitation

It would likely take a redesign of most everything so it's understandable why it has not happened - has not made business sense for them so far.

Picked up my 2nd f series kubota. 2010 3080 with blower and mower. Local dealer trade, price was pretty reasonable I thought. 2600 hours. Definitely lots of maintenance needed, but I'll slowly get the bugs worked out.

Great machine for hillside mowing. Extremely safe & predictable.
