I have an HRS216PDA push mower that I use for trimming. I normally trim first, discharge, then pickup the clippings with my Grasshopper with grass collection system. I do a significant size volunteer job at our local veterans memorial. A friend was helping me and took off the plastic...

I have a wonderful 725K2 I bought last Summer. It has lugged tires and I seem to have traction problems at times. I wonder if the tires are hard, or otherwise at fault. Before I go so far as to buy tires, what pressure are you guys running in those lugged tires? Thanks in advance for your...
