Electric lift on 72" Rogue

[jgregory2010]

Has anyone installed an electric lift on a 72" deck Rogue? It's all i can do to lift the deck and my wife doesn't have a chance. I'm just wondering how reliable the lift is.

Bad boy does offer a electric lift kit for Rouge but how reliable it is I have no idea.

035-7033-01 around $470 plus labor to install it.

Mine on a 54" Lightning has lasted from 2008. They are units originally designed for gates and the big 10' sat dishes, ball and screw actuators. Be wary of the travel at the very end of the stroke as sometimes the unit will not retract because the ball has reached the end of the screw and disengages. I have to be mindful of how low I can go with the deck and stop before entering the disengagement zone, usually below the height indicator's last position at 1" cut height. Should have been some sort of mechanical stop built in.
