   I played with it a little bit and to get the reel speed down to where it needed to be, I was jamming broken tees between the reel and the bedknife, when I mowed tees. So, I slowed them down as slow as I could to not bind them up and then sped the mowing speed up a little to make up the difference.

   Ryan, under the storage box cover there is a chart with reel speed, travel speed and HoC on it. Study it and try to figure it out. Remember you get your best cut when your clip rate equals your HoC. I found that 7 was about as low as I could spin them without bogging them down. I hate the chart, it is hard to read. They should give you the clip=mph like jac does. Example, 11blade clip is .053. HoC is .159, you have to travel at 3 mph to match the clip to HoC, .159/.053 equals 3 mph. Very easy to figure that out. Good luck.
