New 2025R Questions

[tld]

Just got the new 2025R delivered. Have several questions:
The 3 pt hitch and the mid mount mower deck both operate up and down at same time. Is this correct? I have a loader too.
The bushings for the quick attach for 3 pt hitch are about 1/2 to 3/4 in short for my box blade (not john deere). Do they make longer bushings or is there a way to change pins to make them work?
The loader detaches and seems to be somewhat unstable if not on concrete. Anyone make a stand for it so it wont fall over?

Thanks

I believe that is correct,

#2, yes you can buy longer bushings.

#3
the loader needs to be on level ground. Makes it easier to hook back up that way too.

JD does have an independent valve for your mower deck which works separate from your 3 pt. Although it is an option to add. Kit # LVB25630 $278.47 I ordered one for mine.

Be fairly careful with the stand on the loader, more than one owner has bent theirs. They are not cheap either.

I also have a 2025R and be sure to lock out your deck adjustment when deck is removed while using your 3pt implements. There is a potential for the linkage to get hung up on things as you drive over them in forward and reverse. This keeps the linkage up as high as possible to avoid damage.
