Are you going to do any of the routine maintenance? I am sure I will violate this myself, but I periodically vow that I am not going to buy a tractor again without really looking at and even trying to remove the mower deck, first. .....
FWIW, I just use a car jack and jack stands, put the keys in my pocket, and crawl under it to do maintenance including cleaning and blade sharpening with a dremel tool (or removal and balancing if it's bad). Most of them are not really designed for deck removal at ALL. Just wear eye protection because gunk will fall on your face.
