Good morning!
Just bought my 2012 HRX217VKA yesterday and mowed my yard.
Pros: lots of power, lighter than i expected, good cutting /mulching
Cons: the "Smart Drive" is the dumbest design i have ever used on the mower. I have adjusted it but this setup is not easy to use when i have to mow around all my trees. i have 1/3 acre and over 25 spruces. (I miss my old lawnbow but it died after 15 yrs..)
Question: Has anyone tried to redo this setup? I'm thinking of tinkering with the paddle to be under the handle so that I can grip / control it with my fingers versus thumb or palm.
Thanks,
