Took the Cheetah for it's first spin around the driveway. I'm new to zero turn mowers so wanted to play before cutting season. Amazed at how fast and nimble this machine runs. Took a bit to understand how to stop her but that was all part of the fun. Before putting her away I turned on the blades and felt a lot of vibration, a lot more than the 54" deck on my JD X738 tractor. Got me concerned. This morning I remember the sales guy saying practice with a low speed but to turn up the speed when mowing. This morning I turned it up and pull the button. Not as much vibration but still noticeably more than my JD. I know it's a 60" vs 54" but don't think that should matter that much. It's more of a pulsing vibration every 3 seconds too. I would think a loose blade or out of balance blade would be a consistent nasty wobble. Also, when blades are engaged the fuel meters are bouncing all over the place due to the vibration. When not engaged the meters are fine. This might be all normal for this machine and zero turns in general.. Just new to me so thought I would ask. Thanks!
