Another quick question. There is a detent in the throttle at max speed.. is there any reason to not use max speed? Do any of you use a slower speed? Seems like my heavy g6 blades would demand full power?

Power is not the problem, speed is.
The deck is designed to work with the blades running at a fairly restricted range of speeds.
Hydo drives are designed in a similar fashion.
THus the mower should always be run with an open throttle.
The governor will alter the engine power as required.
