Read articles →A step-by-step walkthrough of removing and reinstalling the non-drive-over mower deck on Kubota BX series tractors, applicable across roughly 15 years of models. The presenter covers the front latch, rear spring pins, PTO shaft disconnect, tire-turning trick for clearance, and a common reinstallation mistake (front before rear). He also gives a candid take on drive-over decks. Useful for any BX owner doing seasonal deck swaps.
Posted by the Messick's Farm Equipment channel, a dealership, so the video is sales-adjacent, though the presenter is straightforwardly instructional here rather than promotional.
Pull the front latch pin and lower the arm, remove the front loop, pull the two rear spring-loaded pins, disconnect the PTO shaft, then turn the wheels and slide the deck out.
Latching the front before pinning the rear, which makes the process much harder. You should always pin the back first, then latch the front last.
The drop height is limited by the mower height control and the speed drop lever. Set the cut height to the lowest position and open the speed drop lever fully.
The presenter prefers standard decks, noting drive-over decks involve more steps and alignment issues; he says drive-over suits able-bodied users who can easily handle the deck.
