X700 Signature Series Drive Over Mower Deck Installation and Removal

Great video, this has been very helpful to me as the owner of a new X738 with auto-connect. I followed the procedure in this video to remove the mower deck. Then disconnected the auto-connect drive shaft from the tractor and hung it into the U-shaped bracket as shown. But then I found it very difficult to raise the auto-connect assembly high enough to be able to latch it with the storage hook. Finally I used the hydraulics to lift the auto-connect assembly all the way up and was then able to latch it in the up position with the storage hook. Two questions:
1. Should I need to use the hydraulics to lift the auto-connect assembly? It looks so easy in the video and the video does not mention using the hydraulics.
2. Once the auto-connect assembly is latched in its up position, does the hydraulic connection to the auto-connect assembly need to be 'shut off' in some way? Or will the hydraulic connection to the snowblower simply override the connection to the auto-connect assembly? Thank you.

HE IS A BEAST

Hey I don't have a lock on the left side to keep the hanger up and my deck is autoconnet

Just went through this exercise without a manual and put a new belt on a 7 Iron 60 inch deck on my 2012 740. I was ready to trade it in for something else by the time we were done. Don't know how you could do it with only one guy! Are the newer decks and tractors easier to remove and reinstall?

Hey I traded my x729 for a 2016 x730 I love the drive over deck its so easy to detach and attach the deck and I bought a plow for at I bouts my John Deere at Cazovnia Equiment New York

i dont get how people can afford these things my neighbor just bought an x750 and it cost him $16k+ My truck didnt even cost half of that and its a 2014 model.

Running over a JD mower deck, is the best thing you could do for it. A D9 dozer is best for this. Most of their residential mower decks is a waste of good sheet metal and yellow paint. I am the unhappy owner of 2 of them.

seria possível mandar explicações em português? obrigado!

I wish our Husqvarna had the same features as the mowers in the video

I had a real struggle to get the drive shaft quick release collar off the PTO on my X477. Finally got it off by pulling the collar back with one hand and pulling the whole mower deck back to pull the shaft away from the PTO. When I was a ready to put the mower deck back on, I lubricated the collar and then put the drive shaft back onto the PTO and tried some mowing. But the shaft fell off, seemingly the collar hadn't clicked onto the PTO properly. Now The collar seems to be stuck in the 'back' position so I haven't tried to put the shaft back onto the PTO. Any idea how to get the collar to release itself?

I have a x729 and there's a hose I have new clew what it is please respond johndeere

"Without the physical work of moving the mower deck around by hand."  There is one big catch here.  Once the deck is removed, it is in your lawn all the way to the ground with the wheels disengaged, so you can't roll it away.  If you could quick-disconnect in your garage where you want it stored, that's one thing, but to require that the wheels be disengaged and that the deck be removed out in your lawn, leaves a lot more "physical work of moving the mower deck around" compared to other systems. I just tried it for the first time and I couldn't move the deck out of the lawn, nor could I lift it while setting the wheels myself without first getting a jack to lift up each corner to put the wheels back in play again.

A few Steps he says"" I am dreading this.. LOL Im going to have to watch this several more times!!

This video is very helpful as I would rather see the procedure as opposed to reading it in a manual. 
Thanks
