I’ve had my new 1025R with 60D deck, mechanical lift, for about 3 weeks and I still can’t get the lift knob higher than 3.5 with lift straps fully extended. I’ve tried different side link lengths, front link length, feel like I am missing something and does anyone have any ideas? I don’t want to remove the third lift strap bolt if I don’t have to but that’s what it is looking like.

Yes and yes on the first two questions, I ended up removing the 3rd lift strap bolt and took two adjustments to get a 1/8 ish gap, after doing so the quick connect works a lot better, I don’t have to tug on the back lever to disconnect. Working on leveling now, about an hour in the think I have my last side to side adjustment. I spent a good 3hrs this morning on the lift strap, one trick I learned is you can adjust with deck on and left rear on, just need a long enough wrench and do so in the drive off position, PTO all the way down.
