2. Use high blade speed. Your Hustler tractor and mower are designed to
operate at full throttle. As explained in tractor manual, throttle setting
directly controls blade speed. The highest blade speed generally gives
best cut.
3. Direct grass discharge to right, away from unmown area. Select a
mowing pattern that directs grass discharge towards the outside, not
towards center, of mowing area. Generally, this means using a pattern
utilizing left turns because side discharge is to right. In any case, avoid
throwing grass discharge onto unmowed area because grass is then
mowed “twice”. Mowing twice puts an unnecessary load on tractor and
reduces mowing efficiency.
4. Avoid sudden turns on wet turf. These can damage turf unnecessarily.
5. Never raise the mower deck with the blades engaged to avoid small
obstacles, drive over curbs and so forth. Disengage the PTO before rais-
ing the deck, using the tractor’s tool bar lift control lever. See tractor
owner’s manual for additional information.
6. Always check area to be mown for rocks and other debris before mow-
ing and remove them from operator’s path.
