Love this solution. Was getting the Load-N-Go anyway. Using those stands you showed I can easily move the mower deck to a place I have on the side of the garage. Thank you!

[@philsmock4943]

I have a zero turn JD mower, so I don't have a mid-mount mower for my 1025R. But this was interesting to watch what is out there for people who do. It's always good to have option. Thanks for sharing Tim.

[@jpl8290]

Thanks Tim, very informative and helpful video. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@ilmo2313]

Just finished chopping up leaves this week, glad it is over. Loader, bucket, and back blade on for the rest of the winter.

[@andrewanderson1436]

Those are nice options to have. I don't own a deer but hands down they have the best mowing setup of all brands.

[@photocontrol]

Those both look like great options to store and maintain the mower decks.

[@Kcolby47]

Great storage ideas for mowers. Also, you brought up some considerations when looking at a belly mower vs. rear or separate mower. Blessings.

[@russorpcom]

I like these product videos, I believe you give honest facts, explanations and reviews, as well as videoing of the product for all us to see. Thank you for these types of posts.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@SpartanZapp]

Even without the load and go. For those who just can't afford it.. you can lift the deck very easy with a chain and still use those awesome Mudd's custom brackets

[@PhilHilton]

Indeed. I wish folks would stop pushing Load and Gos as if they're required. I keep hearing the word "need" in places I shouldn't.

[@mooman86]

You can even just lift the backside up on the ground, get the brackets in, and then lift the deck up on to its wheels…More physical labor but possible.

[@monz78]

Allot of people do need them. Speaking for myself once I took my deck off it was to heavy for me to just muscle it around. With the load and go it made it easy to pick it up and move it to the back of the barn

[@PhilHilton]

No one saying they aren't heavy. We're saying there are other ways to move them around with the bucket that doesn't require expensive load and gos. Straps are cheap. All it requires is an extra trip off the tractor to hook them on.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Once you try the load n go, your opinion will change.

[@kevinallen8072]

Tim, load and goes are awesome. I had watched your early video about them. So when I bought my 1023E I had the dealer order and put them on. The dealership had never seen them and was very impressed. They even painted them jd green to match tractor. Great video will have to check out the storage options. God Bless, keep videos coming.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Mudd’s deck stands are the perfect complement to the load n go.

[@dave.lawrence.3894]

EXCELLENT video, two great products....

[@bradmeacham6982]

A suggestion for those of with "CRS" (aka Can't Remember Stuff 😉) syndrome... If you replace the venting plug with a non-venting plug for storage, be sure to tag the plug in some way so that when you go to use the mower deck in the spring, you won't forget to swap the venting plug back in. Even just covering the plug with some masking or duck tape with a "REPLACE" note written on it should work.

[@tcmits3699]

With deck in vertical position take vent plug out install male/ female 90° elbow pointing straight up reinstall vent, should now raise vent sufficiently

[@terrysurface8663]

your mowers are mighty clean Cheers!

[@MIoffGridAdventures]

Great tip. I had no idea this kind of thing existed. Just ordered one.

[@craigthoricht2214]

I have a 2016 1025R with a 54 inch deck. Deere doesn’t make a Load and Go for that deck. I made up my own brackets to pick up the deck with the loader. Absolutely a useful way to work with that 200 pound mower deck.

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

I use straps to lift my deck. I think they are axle straps 24” long. And a couple shackles. There is two holes in the front middle of the deck and I have two chain hooks on the top of my bucket. Works great for changing blades and cleaning. Like the stands with casters. 👍

I purchased the Mudd deckstand and it is great. I am getting to old to try lifting the deck with the other equipment. It also comes with a storage plug for the oil case.

I had to grind on my load and go to I got some ordered with the forecaster wheels. And I use your coupon code thanks Tim

[@martineastburn3679]

I used my Mower deck when I was brush hogging dragging a tail cutter :-i) and when I turned it cut a path not leave so much grass not cut due to the off center turn of the brush cutter. So mowing with both can have great results. I back into tough spots and drive forward through grass letting both cut being easier on both.

[@GrampysTractor]

Great information Tim. I need a stand to hold my deck in the vertical position because that's how I store it.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep, you need load n go, and Mudd's jd deck stands! You would be amazed. roll it back into the corner of your shop for the winter and forget it!

Storage wise my orange deck spends the winter in the shed. Fits under the back blade perfect doesn't take up any extra room. Moving wise I'm stuck using forks. That JD stow and Go sure looks like the " cats meow" :)

[@tomkeating65]

I enjoy all the videos you put out. You always have something interesting to share. It's the Tim and Kristy show. Not necessarily in that order. 😁😁😁

[@edprush]

I've used the Deck Dolly, Mudd Customs, and DeckAxles for deck stands for my JD 60D, 62C, and 54HC. The DD didn't really save me much space because it is about the size of a hand cart. I'd have to say that DeckAxles has the upper hand because of the lower cost and larger wheels. I have to roll my decks over a floor mat and the Mud Customs can't get over the lip of the mat. I don't have a load n' go so I have to lift the decks by hand.

[@bradolsen8629]

May the Lord bless you and your family Tim happy holidays merry Christmas

[@coffeebert6644]

I bought the load and go after seeing it on your KZbin channel , I do not regret it at all, it makes moving and maintenance on the mower deck so easy. May have to look into the mower deck stand now 👍🏻

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Perfect combination! Load n go and deck stand!

[@toddmitchell2125]

Would the Deck Dolly serve both functions. Can the deck be stored in the Deck Dolly?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, deck can be stored on the deck dolly. That is its intention. It does serve both purposes, but it is a bit difficult to pick up.

[@toddmitchell2125]

Thanks Tim! I really enjoy your videos... I have a 2013 JD 2320 with many attachments and I don't think I could do life without it!

[@fatbastard1229]

Thanks so much for all your videos. I have a 2018 1023e and recently decided to get a mower deck. Thankfully, my dealer had one new old stock that would fit. I opted out of the trailer when we initially purchased it because I just use the tractor for personal use and didn’t want the expense or space of a trailer. I do all my maintenance thanks to your videos. They will pick up my tractor next week for the install of the deck. Then I’ll order the load and go and the dolly system based upon your input. Our horse barn floors are not paved - just rubber mats. The dolly seems to be the way to go for our terrain. I’m a strong sixty year old guy who is not getting any younger. All these systems will be a huge help. We’ll still use our Husqvarna mower to cut in, but the Deere will do the rest. I hope your cat is doing okay.

[@fatbastard1229]

May the Lord bless and keep you!

[@chrishunt5291]

I started looking at this for my 1723e. I found a few ideas for diy online.

[@SledgeHammer43]

During your winter maintenance of your mower decks you should add priming and painting the underside of the decks.

[@chrisswartzwelder8494]

I go ahead and pull off the gearbox when I store mine that way I don’t have any issues with leakage of the gear oil.

[@JMSynthetics]

Yup I bought the mudd customs style before it was their product, bought them raw and painted JD Yellow. My load and go needs to be grinded on the right hand side but havent gotten around to it.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Thanks, Tim! I do like those deck stands. I wondered if they made them for my 60C Edge mower that goes on my 2210. Unfortunately, I can't tell from their website info. AND - they're on back order. It does look like a great product - well worth the money for the convenience. - Chad

[@TractorTimewithTim]

They are shipping soon. He has the materials, just needs to weld them up.

[@curtwhite876]

Those are some super slick and simple storage solutions! I am getting my "BIG MOUTH" grapple on Tuesday. I'm so excited, it's going to be like Christmas in... December... Perhaps it is time to consider a new name for Martha. For some reason, I think Bob might be a good choice. Poor little kitty.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. Bob may be more appropriate!

[@charlesmach7511]

One thing I always do when I store my deck is unhook the spring for the deck belt tension. I use a zip tie to hold the spring so it doesn't get lost while loose.

Good idea!

Hey Tim.. I've had the Deck Dolly for my 54D for a few years now. Been very pleased with the storage solution. It would be nice to have the Load n Go too to move the deck around easier. But with a 2014 1025R and 54D MMM deck, I understand the Load n Go does not apply (unless something has changed). Great video. Thanks for sharing!.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Nothing has changed. No load n go for older 54d’s.

[@willie0001]

I use a wheelchair for mobility so once I'm in my 1025r I don't get out until done. With load&go I can attach mower and remove from drivers seat. I mow about 1.5 acres of my property without issues. I just needed to make a handle to pull up on the release lever that can be reached from the cab.

[@johngianopoulos6668]

Still not available for 2032r/2038r with the 60d - just wonder why. Have already seen after market loading type brackets which I may look into. I purchased a deck dolly for a 54d deck and found it to be unusable for me. Poor mechanical advantage and the way it's designed seems to be for a taller person than me (I am 5'6"). Hasn't seen any use in years. Have my Tony stands on order. Good video Tim! Thanks.

[@jonnylowkon]

Man I hope one of these stands will work for my 72” deck

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. I’m using Tony’s originals on my 72” right now. Mudd’s will work beautifully! They are incredible!

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

A Toro 5xi garden tractor 60” deck is 320 pounds. 52” is probably 200 to 250. Decks on JD 1 and 2 series could be 400 pounds or more. I have 7 various Toro 52” decks and when I store them I tip them up with the discharge side to the floor. I can L, R, L, R etc side to side tip walk it short distances, otherwise I try to move it with a 2 wheel dolly. It would be easier if I had some special crane just for moving decks.

[@tomonentrepreneurship]

If you're thinking about buying the 1025R with the 60D mower deck, note that the deck does not have the same warranty and only has one year- so one mowing season. John Deere does not stand behind their own workmanship issues and will not warranty the deck, even when it's proven to be factory flaws, and deck can get expensive to fix. Mine failed at under 70 hours.

[@lazerbeam3928]

Tim, not to change the subject but yesterday I was watching a new KFC commercial and in the back of customer crowed was a gentleman that was taller than all the rest peering over their shoulders. I kept thinking, "gosh that guy is very familiar". Then dawned on me, Its TIM! It was either your twin brother or you were out looking for cheeseburgers and got caught-up in a KFC commercial. I have since viewed the commercial two more times and I swear it is you in the back of the crowd.

[@joshtischler6461]

I've got a 2020 1025R with the 60D and bought the deck dolly because of this video. I'm happy with the purchase but I will say that there are significant differences between the deck dolly you showed and mine for the 2020 model. And in general the changes make for much less ease of use.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Interesting. I do not have the 2020 model. I assumed it would be slightly different, but essentially the same function. Thanks for the feedback.

[@chuckstimson9029]

The Load-n-go's are not compatible with the 60D for the 3R series or a 72" with a deck with the cab. I have a 3046R with the 60D deck and cab so I'm leaning towards the deck dolly.

[@travelingtracer]

I’ve got the deck dolly. I’m 68. An old back injury is starting to bother me again. The lift from carry to storage position is the hardest. I wish I had opted for the longer handles and dual wheels but otherwise it has served me well for the past three years. I will be upgrading to the load n goes and those new castors to save my back…

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes. Good idea. That last push up to storage position is not good for us older guys.

[@davidsalmon4390]

Hi Tim, thanks for another great video. Do you have a contact at Deere that you could put a bug in their ear to offer the load n go for the 2038R 60D deck? I have to believe there are a number of users that would love that option

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I'm sure they are aware. There must be some physical issue preventing this combination.

[@BG-vq9fd]

Thru email exchanges with Mudds, they have concluded their wheels will work with my 60HC deck from my X738. I took measurements and sent pictures. Not having load n go, I sling the deck before I back the tractor off. Then pick it up with pallet forks on another machine. Several steps but no hard labor and I do not have to get on the floor. I have considered the other system many times but it gets pricey when you add the double wheels and extra length handles. I wondered what the second set of pins were for on the Mudds brackets. Now I know. I am also considering brackets from Green Parts store for my 54 inch snow blower.

at 6:59, I wonder why they didn't put a hole on the wheel storage tube where you lock it in place with the pin. Seems like a freebie, and can prevent the wheel from falling out if you tip the deck past horizontal.

There is a hole in it. You use the lock that locks in the wheel

[@tgilldesign]

Serious flaw on MUDD's deck storage solution: Crazy Wheels are too small diameter. Personally, I clean my deck 'OUTSIDE'.... and then install my vertical storage shafts and LARGE wheels from another prior Green Tractor Talk Sponsor/Merchant.

Try rolling the MUDD'S deck wheels through your lawn..... good luck with that one. :-)

John Deere does not make Load 'N Go attachments for the 60D deck on the 2032R or 2038R tractors. I received my 2038R in mid September after some painful order changes at the last minute. I had ordered the 60D deck with my 2038R and had ordered the Load 'N Go attachments. They were not compatible. John Deere says they have no plans on designing Load 'N Go for the 60D when used with the 2032R or 2038R because there are interference issues under the tractor with the linear actuator lift system, etc. Load 'N Go is only available for the 2032R and 2038R when used with a 72D deck.

Issue I see with the Deck Dolly, and why I decided not to purchase it is: COST..... pricey solution...... and, the stand brackets stick way out from the deck, thus taking up extra floor space.... deck axles are the simpler, cost effective solution and take up the least floor space..... what happened to the Deck Axles vender on Green Tractor Talk ????

Yes. The vent can be removed and replaced with a 1/8” pipe plug. Of course, you need to reinstall the vent before you use the deck again. I think the vent may not be working properly if it is leaking like that…but not sure. Anyway, temporary replacement works fine.

No, Christy cannot lift the deck dolly. Try the deck stands from MuddsCustoms.com

the JD deck stand you showed is not on the Mudd website
