Are most JD mowers easy to remove the mowing deck? I am looking at buying one of the following 345, GT275 or GX325. I will probably use it more for pulling a small manure spreader and a cart some of which is in hilly terrain and I wanted to be able to easily remove the deck.

:Welcome1:

i cna't speak for those specifically, but on both my L130 and my X500 it is a matter of pulling about 4 pins and releasing the belt. on teh l130 you have to grab teh idler pulley with a wrench to relase belt tension, on teh X500 you grab a lever.

either machine i can remove the deck AND reinstall it in under 5 minutes.

Piece of cake, you can drop and remove the deck in less than 2 minutes after you've done it a couple of times. I timed myself on my X748SE, and it has the added step of having to remove the brush guard. Takes an extra minute to reinstall.

I can remove my GT235 deck in about the same amount of time, which has almost identical attachment as the GT275 and GX you mention.

JT3,

For me takin' the deck on or off is that simple that I do it everytime I mow, since we use the tractor for so many other things it's a pain to have the deck on all the time (2 - 3 minutes on a X748). Easier to execute maintenance also.
