Hi All,
I purchased a Fastrack SD with 26 Hrs on the clock last week. The RH hydro is slower than the left. I have done the adjustments as per the manual but still no joy. Initially forward RH was slower than LH - reverse was evenly matched. after adjusting the lever - hydro adjuster rod and fiddling about I now have forward evenly matched and running at 8 mph which I am happy with. Reverse however is now slower than RH side. no amount of adjusting can I get forward and reverse speeds to be the same both sides.
Rang the dealer and he went through the adjustment procedure and I confirmed I had done that. He then told me to remove the arm rests as they were probably interfering with the control lever travel ... I assured him they were not. He then said there was probably air in the hydro and I should bleed the system, he also went onto say that this is common when transporting the mower and is probably the problem. I asked him, given that I am a commercial mowing contractor that transports the mower several times a day could I expect to have to bleed the system regularly ? He then became a little aggressive and I decided he would not be able to assist me with my problem and ended the conversation.
Anyway, does anyone know what I need to do to set the hydros so they travel at the same speed , forward and reverse.... ? I am lost and it really is annoying me that our 4 yr old 1800 hr Fastrack is a better mower to use than the new SD
Thanks
Michael
