I have same unit, Never engage blades at low speed. I engage at middle throttle-full throttle engagement is tough on belt and bearings. When cutting grass I adjust engine speed based on grass height and load. I mow about 9 real acres of grass and weeds with mine that includes a 2.5 acre lake and...
Any things I should be aware of as I begin to use it? A couple of people have warned me about quickly throwing drive belts. Will check belt tension before using. Any body seen any long term weak spots? Any add ons that are worth it?
