Re: (ET) What spped?



Good question...

E15, front mower... 2nd gear, full "speed".... Kinda slow, but then my 
drink doesn't slosh around too much either!

Since I have so much time to think while mowing, I came up with a question
I'm not sure has been asked in this group.

What speed do you use to mow?

I have an E-15 with the standard front mounted 3 motor deck, and for
"normal" grass lengths I use 3rd gear with the speed controller on direct 
(I
believe its called that) - that's the speed at which neither the rersistors
or field weakening circuits are active, at the notch in the scale.  If I
left the lawn go too long, I will use 2nd with the controller set to "high"
and pull a sweeper to pick up the clippings, but its almost too slow.
