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



       First question.{ The one that I am always asking............} What flavor of E-20 do you have?  AA or BA ? CA or DA ? Or later ? The control schemes have subtle differences That may enter into the behavior you are observing.

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.
