Staying Straight

[Bob K13]

I recently purchased a Kubota F3680. For the life of me I cannot keep a straight line with the rear wheel steering. Does anyone have a tip to stay straight or is there a front mount mower that they recommend that will mow a straight line? Im willing to pay the price for a decent mower.

It just takes time. Takes a while to become a good forklift driver also. Usually over steering creates the problem. In flying it's called PIO, pilot induced oscillation, the harder you try the worse it gets. You may be trying too hard. Have you let anyone else run the mower to confirm whether it's something mechanical? MikeD74T

Ive had a couple of people try it and the same thing. One gentleman cuts for a living and had issues with it. It is brand new so I hope there is not a mechanical issue but who knows? I can keep a straighter line with my Kubota B3030 but it takes too darn long to cut!!
