You mention a ride on mower deck often. I'm curious how often you will need to remove the deck during a cutting season . .

It isn't unusual for me to put the deck on, cut grass and then immediately remove it. When I was using the Deere as the main mower the deck spent more time off the tractor rather than on. Since it is so easy no reason to keep it on.
