Removing the belly mower from B2620

[nhachman]

Hi, this is my first post here. I just moved to a place with 11 acres in March and of course the first thing I had to do was buy a tractor. I have a 2013 B2620 with the FEL and 60" belly mower. Now that winter is approaching I bought a 6' rear blade. I have already removed the belly mower from my tractor using the instructions in the manual. My question is, do I need to remove the rear links for the mower mounts? When the 3pt is lowered they seem to be hanging awefully low and are just begging to catch on something on the ground and cause damage to man or machine. There does not look to be an easy way to remove them, there are pins and cotter pins that hold them onto the frame. I did already remove the front pin but the rear is proving to be more difficult and I figured I'd ask for some advice before proceeding to remove it. Is there something operational that I am missing?

Thanks,
Nick

down by your left foot there is a black dial to adjust mower height. Turn it until the arrow lines up with the spot that says top. Do this with your 3pt up all way. This will keep your deck arms up

Thanks! I knew I was missing something simple.
