How do you put your deck on, do you shimmy it underneith or do you drive over the top?

For my FDT's, I unhook the deck then pick up the front of the tractor with a floor jack and snake the deck out. For my RBT's, same procedure except the jack is not really necessary. Just gives me a little more room to play with. In both cases I take the decks out the left side with the wheels turned full right.

On any of the B-series I've delt with, turning the tires will allow enough room to slide the deck under or out. I drive over the deck on my 620. No slideing that one.

I don't drive over mine. Sometimes with a FDT I have to jack up the front but with the RBT's is always a fairly easy slide.

I find i have to drive over the B series decks, but all the decks on my RBT's just slide under nicely.

Turn the tires all the way to the left and slide it under from the right side.

I agree with Ray. turn the tires one way or the other and slide it under. I change my deck out for other implements at least once a week cant see having to jack it up each time to change. I have driven over the deck a few times (HB112). The hardest part for me is to get the hitch lined up with the holes. It is akward at best. I have tried a long stick or prybar at center of deck to lift but requires 3 hands. Seems that no matter where I grab the deck it is not quite the right place.

I ususally put a 1 x 4 under the front of the deck for it to slide on, then slide it under from the side. Come to think of it, now that I have a little concrete floor space a couple casters on that 1x4 would be sweet.
