Default Re: 7 iron 72" deck

Not much grass out there yet as we have a very very late spring going here. But I have tried the 7-iron II deck at its lowest setting and the result was the grass is plenty short enough with this mower for my RC runway. I didn't have the deck perfectly level with the rear of it being a bit lower. This was noticed when I stopped and backed up and did a bit of scalping on a high spot, oops! However this was the only scalping I had as the field is fairly level. I will level the deck for the next time. I also left a few tire marks when accelerating. After reading the manual later that day I realized there are accel/decel rates from 1 ~9 you can easily set with the push of a few buttons, cool. This is an awesome feature, no more spinning the tires on the lawn. Easy enough to change the rates for other work as well, only takes a few seconds to adjust.
I wonder what else is in that manual that I don't know about, hmm.
