Best to run it wide open. AKA 3000RPM+
Increasing blade speed isnt practical beyond full engine speed. You'd be getting into changing pulley sizes and all that stuff.

Anyone out there with a wobbly wam steering wheel? I opened mine up and it isn’t at all obvious what’s wrong... been this way since brand new, but almost looks like a bushing at the top of the hydraulic control shaft was not installed? But not sure how it is supposed to look. It isn’t rotational slop, just north south east west... up down is tight, and turning is tight... thoughts?

Another oddity.. when New the decks spun right up... now it can take a few seconds where you think they aren’t going to, but they always do, just seems to take longer before they start... not sure if it’s a pressure thing? Seems to mow fine.
