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.
LOL! Yes, we do have a lot of bravado, sort of like reading maps on a trip in the old days!
