If you leveling it yes, you need all wheels off the ground. Once leveled you adjust the wheel I think 1/4” to 1/2” off the ground… can’t remember the exact number. But I usually put them as close as possible without touching. Pretty sure I have a video on leveling this deck. Might answer some questions for ya.

What do you mean by quick attach? It has the John Deere quick hitch, it’s what gives you the ability to use front mount tool. There are a few companies that make different attachments for it. Not sure how compatible it would be with like a bobcat or kubota plow or something though.

The wheel assembly (bearings, rim, tire) is part number AM125926, and is currently $147.61 from Deere, you will need 2, so $ 295.22. This spreader is made by Brinly though, so if you don't care to get yellow wheels, you can potentially get part number 1018851 from them, however, I cannot confirm if it will be exactly the same wheel and tire. The tire looks slightly different, but the wheel is likely the same. These will run you $46.04 a piece. Please don't get mad at me though if they don't work.

I suggested replaceable/bolt on, issue is where they would be supported. Be tough without driving a complete redesign. Hopefully we will see replaceable weld on teeth, or perhaps a beef up kit of sorts.

Well this is part 2…

Hello, I’m very sorry, I need to take that video down. I’ve stopped selling them because a few people ruined it and I didn’t like eBay’s shipping requirement. I was selling them at a slow but steady rate, and started getting really irritated because I would get an order, send it out, then immediately get another, and I found myself constantly trying to get to the post office to send them, but it was hard with my actual job, and I didn’t want to trust just dropping them in my mailbox. I could have easily put in the terms that orders will only ship one day of the week or something, so this could have been an easy fix. The bigger problem was that in order to offer free shipping, I was sending them in a regular envelope, so there was no tracking. I had a few people say they never got them, so I had to blindly send more out at no charge. To add to that, there were multiple instances where people supposedly didn’t get them, and rather than contacting me about it, they submitted a claim with eBay, and then never responded to my messages about it, so I ended up having to pay all the money back. And we all know damn well that they got them. I’d sell them again potentially, but I’d have to begin charging shipping.

So I was always worried about this too, but I haven’t seemed to notice any issues, from -30 plowing snow to grappling logs at 80. They are pretty thick hoses, and wrapped in a heavy, surely heat resistant material. It’s Deere, it’s quality stuff.

I added them, they are from auxhyd. It is the deluxe set, so you get the rears, and still have use of the 2 circuits up front. The standard kit takes up one of the front circuits.

So far so good, been running just fine since I took the PTO off. Knock on wood…

Can you email me with what you are looking at so I can see?

@@JoshsGreenGarage will do!

@@JoshsGreenGaragewhat’s the email?

@@JoshsGreenGarage sending email shortly, thank you!

Like, of what I think of it still?

@@JoshsGreenGarage and the pro and the con of the stuff you like on it

Ok what don’t I know? What did I say wrong? Do you actually have anything constructive to say? I love when people comment like this with nothing helpful. No, I’m not a pro, or a tire engineer, and I make this very clear, especially in maintenance how-to videos, but I’m doing my best to present the experiences I’ve had in order to help people out. I haven’t said anything in this video that is untrue or that I haven’t experienced.

Well you watched it though, so did it help you or not?

Arguably the 74Xs are better than the 55Xs, due to a little more weight and ability to add the factory Deere loader. Deere doesn’t suggest the X7s on their “which mower are you” thing until you click 5+ acres. So no, it will be happy as a dog in a field filled with squirrels or something!

Yeah the machine purges any repairing air out of the lines and front axle. No need to worry about the rear either. Once you run it for a little bit and do some full lock to lock turn, check it and add a little if needed.

Because of how the attachment mounts, it would be In the way of the front draft arm…

@@JoshsGreenGarage The deck does not need to be removed on the X series actually. I use mine with the deck on almost all the time.

Ok, I guess I was just assuming the front draft arm mount would get in the way… idk, whenever using attachments I usually just take the deck off… too wide and ya lose ground clearance.
