I would swear that I saw a discussion a year or so ago about tricks to remove belly mower decks but I can't find it today. I have a B7500 with FEL and a 60" deck. How do you all recommend getting the deck on and off for sharpening blades, working with the loader outside of mowing season, etc? Any tips would be appreciated.

I found using a bottle jack to raise the front axle slightly (about an inch) worked well to provide clearance for deck removal. Then use recommended procedures in the handbook. ....

Usually the only reason I remove mine is to use the loader, so I mount the loader and lift the front end with that. In my mind it is more stable than a bottle jack. If I don't plan on using the loader, I can pick it up by the front frame using a cherry picker rated at 4k# to assist with removal. No matter what the method, those things are heavy and seem cumbersome to slide around (at least my 72" on the 2910 is). The easiest way is to have your son do it, can't seem to convince the wife it is good exercise for her. ....
