Loader off , I've tried it with just bucket off for a few minutes.
Loader off so much faster moving around :)

I tried an experiment tonight I wanted to grease deck without removal :)
Deck set to -0- on car oil changing ramps.
the PTO did have to be taken off rear to grease, lots of room leaning against the deck on drivers side.
Mowing team I'm still using my old Cub Cadet where needed under low trees, banks , close quarters etc.

Picture is old I have since added Artillian Canopy and ROPS lights.
Work lights and light bar wired in. Overkill with relays and separate switches.
It took 2 nights I managed to snake 3 wires in 1/4 split wire tubing down through the factory hole at top of ROPS.
