Starting to slow down now (grass growth rate), so that's a good thing. But you need to clean the deck often. In early spring my rider gets recharged and I clean the deck. You don't want to increase the blade resistance with packed grass....that requires more energy to keep the blades turning.

I have an Ego self-propelled. It mows the lawn. The self-propel needs to be run at the lowest speed or it is difficult 3Hotdogs May 2024 #9
