Just purchased a HU775H/961450007 and it wouldn't drive the rear wheels - adjusted the drive cable and got it to move along flat ground, small inclines wouldn't drive, tightend drive cable more, still wouldn't start on a slight hill but would go if i pushed it, but that defeats the object of having a powered mower - it squeels like a stuck pig when it is trying to move will it ever move smoothly up an incline? or should i buy a differnt mower, my previous mowers have never had this problem on the same incline - i have read other similar complaints on the drive mechanism on this site - sounds like a problem, it's brand new so i will probably justt return it and get a different brand unless someone has a simple solution.
