Somethings wrong

You should get much longer run times

Check to make sure your blades are all turning the same way

Gator blades mulch better but use more amps

Can you get a good ampmeter reading at variuos condition?

Subject: (ET) Advice on setting up and E20 and front Deck

Hi
Ok I am finally into my new place and I am now cutting the grass or more 
correctly my dandelion plantation with a E20, front mower with a side 
discharge. So, now I moving from theory to reality.
 
This is the first time I actually mowed with a 48 inch deck. I have a few 
issue that I need some input on. 
The first is that every once and a while the E20 doesn't seem to move to 
full throttle even when the foot peddle is right to the foot pad. 
Secondly, I only seem to be able to cut about 1/2 and acre and the grass 
wasn't that long.  
Third, the cut isn't what I hoped for and the deck was set at 4 inches,  
would a rear discharge cut better than a side?
 
I have to confess, I haven't really done any set up to this rig, I just 
put one of my decks on a working E20 and when to town. What do I need to 
do to optimize the cutting, would Gator blades help? I am probably going 
go to and E15, because I find the foot throttle literally a pain to use 
and I have the luxury of being able to set this rig up to 100%. while 
still making do with the E20 rig.
