Hey everyone, I have a 2022 LX2610 and absolutely love everything about it except for 1 thing. I only weigh about 170 pounds; I have to step all the way up onto the deck to get on because the whole side of the deck flexes if I use the step. I am sure over the years this is going to be a problem as I get older and have more trouble climbing up. Is there an aftermarket bolt on fix for this? I hope this thread gets noticed because I would love to take care of this problem before it becomes one.

My 2650 does the same thing, think it is just the way it’s made

You could reinforce the floor, but I think I'd wait until it needs it.

here's an option for you... they make lots of goodies and the owner is an OTT member.

I saw that one, I already have a step but don't use it, too spongy. I thought in the video he says it still flexes. THANK YOU!!! Maybe I will contact that guy and ask some questions..

I have his step as oem step is too narrow when exiting the tractor… his is wider but connected to same holes and does not offer any more support

I weigh about 250 lbs when fully dressed. I have the LX2610 and the step does flex. I worried about it at first, but it hasn't given me any trouble yet.

I also have the Specialtyproductsandcustommods step, but on a different model ( larger ) Kubota.
Their step is just as strong or stronger than my OEM step, but is MUCH wider, and does mount to OEM holes.
I do not have, nor will I ever have, a mower deck on my Kubota.
I weigh 183 lbs. and their step offers PLENTY of support, with much better dismount safety for me.

Should clarify… no more support for the deck flex, but as stated above much safer for getting off tractor
