How do you remove/install your 72" belly deck? Drive over or slide it out?

How do you remove/install your 72" belly deck? Drive over or slide it out?

I roll both my 60" (B1750) and 72" B3350) MMM decks out to the right side after first driving the tractor onto short pieces of 2X8/10s. One thickness in the rear and two thicknesses in the front. You may need to adjust thicknesses if your gage wheels are set to mow high.

I can remove either in about 15 minutes and install either in about 20 minutes.

I remove install on a concrete floor. All bets off if not on concrete floor.

Have tried driving over and found such technique to be a real PITA, either tractor/mower.

I tried to back off of the deck but couldn't keep the wheels chocked. I am on concrete as well. I just set wheels to lowest setting, steer fully to right (I think) and pull it out from left side. It may work as ownwers manual states if I could keep the deck from moving.

On my BX the anti-scalp wheels need to be unpinned, rotated 90 degress and re-pinned. Much easier to roll out. Recommend using magic marker on shafts to reset height levels when re-mounting deck
