Sure. My E20 and deck do my lawn all the time, every time. *Very*
occasionally when I am going up my 30% degree hill I might need to do a
second cut on the first row, but that's it.

Rear.

Baffles (factory deck)

I think I have three spacers under, two over.

Unknown.

Yes.

E20

My thoughts are sharpen the blades, and cut slowly. Myself I typically cut
in L, with the tractor in cruise control (speed setting 5 I believe; cruise
on an E20 is with one resistor of field weakening). If the grass is 
*really*
long I will cut in LL or use the throttle for speed level 2-3.

Works perfectly.
