    We have toro triplex greensmowers with 11 blade DPA reels. We have one machine that seems to going too fast. What is the recommended ground speed?

    After a while the lead foot operators push hard on the pedal and stretch the foot leaver , I resest my land cutting speed by having a operator take out a 15 year old walk greens mower 11blade and we follow beside it with the rider mower and set the speed.Ask the jak tech at a the conference what speed should it be and they told me it should be in the manual ,"Duh" but how do you set it ,A radar gun?? :o

    88 feet in one min. is 1mph so if you want 3 or 4 mph it is easy to set it up. I have a test area for sprayers and mowers set up.

    If you have a smart phone you can download a gps speedometer app and that will get you pretty close. We used that to set all 100 of golf cars after we got them because they were to fast and causing roll overs. I plan to do this to my greens mowers when i get a chance to.
