Mid mower RCK60-30BA Vs RCK60-30BB

[Orange man]

Looking for a deck for a LX2610 and found a deck off a B2650, Any one have the BA deck on a LX3310 or LX2610. Thought I read somewhere that someone used the RCK60-30BA on a LX. Thanks

Hi there! Have you found anything out on this? I am in the same situation. Found a RCK60-30BA and wondering if it will fit on my LX2610. Thanks a bunch!

Same situation & same question.

I've been told that there's no difference, just a new model number for a new model year - which I don't believe.

It does appear that the 'ba' will work in place of the 'bb' - but I don't know what possible issues the 'generally interchangeable' parts might cause.

Any information would be very much appreciated.

If it's used and a decent price, you can always resell it, if it doesn't fit.

You might try Messicks online and see if you can look up the mower for your machine and see what type it assigns…their parts normally tell you what model it fits…worth a try. if not maybe a call parts guy at your dealer and they should be able to tell you fit/application….maybe the Kubota build it would also tell you which model deck would be sold…that’s another way maybe.

UPDATE!!!

After doing a lot of research with the illustrated parts breakdown on the lift arm (A20602), lift linkage (A20300) and the deck itself, I was convinced the RCK60-30BA would fit on my LX2610. I then called the dealership that has my new LX2610 (waiting on a loader and backhoe) and talked to the lead mechanic and salesman. They both agreed that the RCK60-30BA should work just fine on the LX2610. I then cancelled my order on the the new $3,200 RCK60-30BB (which the dealership was fine with) and went and picked up the used (like brand new) RCK60-30BA. I then had to remove the lift arm and lift linkage from the B2650 that the 30BA came from. Most of this was pretty simple with the exception of:

Lift Linkage Parts:
Arm, Lift 2 LH (K5772-51190)
Arm, Lift 2 RH (K5772-51210)
Shaft, Lift (K5772-51102 Replaces K5772-51100)

Lift Arm Parts
Arm, Lift 1 RH (K5772-61170)

The above parts would not come off because the backhoe frame which runs along the tractor frame and sits on the rear prevented them from being removed without separating the backhoe frame from the tractor frame (No Thanks!) .

Turns out that there is an order that certain things need to be installed. For example: If you order a new LX2610 with a Mid-Mount Mower, Loader, and Backhoe, the loader needs to be installed first because there are certain plates that come with it that the mower deck linkage mounts to. Next, the mower Lift Arm A20602 and Lift Linkage A20300 are installed. Then the backhoe frame.

My thoughts are that if you find an RCK60-30BA from a B2650 tractor and want to mount it on an LX2610, make sure you remove as much of the lift arm and lift linkage as you can. If you just buy the deck, you are going to spend upwards of $1,000 on rest of the parts needed.

I attached a few diagrams below of the major parts I needed to order that I could not remove from the B2650.


I hope this helps and will post updates as they come.

Thank you for your detailed description & the annotated schematics.
By happenstance, I'm having the attachments installed in the order you recommend - although I'm still waiting for the backhoe.
I'll check with the tech, using your info, to make sure he's tracking the mounting parts.

I just made a post asking if there is a secret method to get that carrier shaft to slide in (#50 in 2nd pic), because the backhoe frame is in the way... Looks like the secret is there is no shortcut and that frame has to come off, ouch!

Ouch is right! I agree, the backhoe frame will have to be removed or possibly moved just enough to slide the shaft in. Sorry....

Sorry for such a long delay but I just wanted to post a few pics and confirm that the RCK60-30BA deck from a B2650 in fact fits and works perfectly on an LX2610!

It turned the few hour job into a whole day job, thats for sure! I about had a heart attack when I went to put the lift mechanism bushings (90 and 100 in the diagram above) on the 3 point hitch shaft , as there isn't enough clearance to drop them between the ends of shaft and BH77 frames. I was thinking the other side frame would have to come off too, then I realized you can loosen the bolt above the draw bar receiver and slide the shaft side to side.

Ill also add here that the RCK60-30BB fits the B23650 without any mods or extra parts to buy

I have a 2015 B2650 with this exact deck. Just letting you know that your bracket from the front of the tractor to the front of the deck is not on correctly. The pin with the clip through it goes back farther and slips into the notch on the deck. That way the pin that is in there will be back farther and keep it from moving back and forth.
