I save old motor oil, thoroughly clean the deck and paint it with a cheap paintbrush.

If you know, you know.

I spray it down with a dry lube.

My Gravely 60" ProTurn Mach One ZT deck will never be that clean again.

I use a needle scaler, works like a charm.

My solution? Move to the beach - where all we have is LOTS of sand and gravel!! No weeds....no trees!

I'm still amazed at the number of people who don't see this advantage and take extraordinary efforts to plant grass - ah well.....

I'm one of those weirdos that enjoy mowing.

Same here- mowing is cheaper than therapy.

 

[Curly]

I use a pressure washer and when done change into dry clothes.

Enjoying mowing starts with a nice tractor....IMHO...I have a D160....I see you have a similar tractor....I am pretty sure my deck was not that clean when it was new tho..

I just bought an older JD 210 with a snowblower, heater and cab....it is in really good shape...an older guy had and just blew snow with it. It never even had a deck...so it was used only 5 or 6 times a year. Kept in in his pole barn and only did his paved portion of his farm.
kind of looking forward to snow for once...

Moke we've had our D160 for 9 years and cut about 5 acres with it. It has 482 hours on it and I expect to cut once more next week before putting it to bed. I use a Mahindra tractor with bucket to clear our driveway. El Nino is supposed to bring us a warmer winter with less snow We'll see) so you might not get as much time on your new toy as you want.
