@@budwilson6177 wheels are for anti scalping so they should not be riding on the lawn until you hit a dip. So , set your deck to the desired height on a level concrete floor, measure from level concrete floor to bottom of scalp wheel. scalp wheel should be 1/4-1/2" off the ground so when you hit a dip the wheels will hit before your blade and push the deck upward so your blades will not plow into the ground. i typically mow 3"
@@bucksfan8344 good video. Thanks for making it. It also shows me what a piece of shit design John Deere has sold their customers. Out of all the ways to adjust the deck John Deere decided to go with the dumbest idea on these mowers. The deck adjustment tool is so far out of align from the deck leveling bracket that I’ve stripped the tool out and am trying to figure a way to go ahead and level it so I can mow. I see you almost busted your knuckles as I have done for the last several hours. Sometimes you’ve gotta worry about these engineers that have never spent the summer working ground in a 4440 up to an 8620. These guys and girls should seriously talk to their technicians that catch all of the heat that they created.
Great video!!
Do the eherls actually ride on the grass or above it
Wheels

@@jasonbranson4262 Sometimes it's not mower but the operator. My JD X300 is a 2008 best mower I have ever own. Do all my own maintenance.
