I am having the same problem with my 44 inch deck and can only imagine what another 6 inches does to the problem. I believe that the deck can be adjusted correctly to mow on flat ground but in turns or on hills the design is flawed as it stands. Look at the narrow force applied under the tractor. It is confined to less than 20 inches and that has to withstand the downward forces of a hill or the centrifugal forces of a turn. It just doesn't have the leverage to counter these forces. My temporary solution was to add short cables with turn buckles to keep the balance against any outside forces from tilting the deck. Although they look goofy they do work and they allow the deck to rise up if an object is encountered. I am working on a system that is attached to the mule arms so that I can raise and lower the deck without having to redo the cables. I mowed my yard today and after several passes I noticed that the discharge side was cutting a little lower so I reached down from my seat and turned the turnbuckle and took up about 1/4 inch. That was all I needed and I didn't have to leave my seat!
