I paid extra for this treat...

I've a BX2370 with the drive over mower deck option. Works ok. But to mount the snowblower, obviously the deck has to come off. BUT, You also have to remove the link/frame from the tractor. THIS IS A PITA!

Getting it off isn't too bad, but putting back on without help is crazy. The manual says to place blocks under it to raise up off the floor...supposedly making it easier. Dimensions for the blocks are given...why Kubota doesn't just make ready-made blocks is a mystery. I guess I'll try making the blocks and see how that goes.

Anybody else wrestling with this? The frame has to be lifted from the floor straight up so it can be pinned into position, but it's almost impossible for one person to manage both side at the same time. Argg!

I use a floor jack and a whole lot of swearing at damn engineers that forgot the K.I.S.S. principle.
