I have a Kubota B7300. I had read that one can run over the deck with the front wheels if you use blocking under the deck. I have 4wd and it worked for me. This may just work for you. The only problem I encountered is that I set my deck high at 3

Good luck. "> mounting dismounting mid-mount mower

To Bob Alaska, I own a B7300 bought new last year. The B7300 is an amazing do it all machine and I love it. From discussions with Kubota folks the B7300 is relatively new(of the new design with flat deck etc). Down here in the lower 48 they have been selling like gangbusters and therefore I suspect Kubota will be stocking parts for a while, and there may be a number of salvage units(in the future - although I don't think too many people really want to get rid of Kubotas unless they are moving up or dead).Good Luck.

Pete,<br>I have a B7300 and haven't found a real easy way around that one. The front outrigger wheels on my 54

I have found that using the loader works the best. Since I never use the loader with the deck on I just schedule my loader use/deck dismount and vise versa at the same time.
I previously read some threads about driving over the deck(with the front wheels), making sure to block it with some wood. I tried that once and it worked OK. The only thing that went awry, with that trick, is that I have set my mower height to 3" cut. And with that height, the bottom of the 4wd axle scraped the gearbox on the deck.
I feel this is the price paid for having a very compact and manuverable tractor. I'm willing to suffer a little. "> Mounting a Kubota Midmower

Joe,<br>I have a Kubota B7300 with 4wd and loader. I use the loader frequently for transport of stone, mulch and brush. For these tasks I frequently do not need the 4wd and do it in 2wd. I am not familiar with the 655 but if you have at least a lockup rearend(I DO use this feature on the Kubota instead of 4wd), good turf bar or ag tires and a low range gear you could get quite a lot of use out of the loader. Plus you can't do a whole lot of serious digging anyway with a low hp loader(even using 4wd).<br>A suggestion. See if you can find a loader that could fit several models(maybe by just modifying the mount). If you untimately decide to move up a little you might be able to reuse the loader. The loader will not add much value to a 2wd for resale and it would be nice to keep it and not loose the investment. Especially look at after-market loaders(like Woods, or kit units, like the CadPlan loaders).<br>Good luck.
