Power Lift Raises Mower Deck
Ed Clayton of Chesterfield, Va., was happy with his Dixie Chopper 72-in. zero-turn mower but wished it had a way to raise the mower deck without pushing down hard on the pedal. “I have a Kubota with a hydraulic-control deck, and wished that my Dixie had something similar.”
Clayton purchased an actuator kit online for around $120, which included the switch he used. “I added a fuse between the battery and switch. The wiring fit well under the seat.” The actuator was mounted to the mower deck using the existing connection with the pedal removed and a pin to connect the actuator arm.
The actuator mounts to the mower frame directly below the seat, with a metal rod for added support. “I’ve been using this for 3 months now and it works great,” Clayton says.
