Question:
I just purchased an HU700L self propelled mower. The speed of the self propelled rear wheel drive has dropped by more than half. This occured the first time I used the mower. I had only made approximately five passes on my lawn when this happened. Is this normal? I had to adjust the turnbuckle to get more speed and yet it never returned to it's initial speed. Is this an indication that I have a bad mower? If so I'll take it back to Lowes for a replacement. Other than that I like the mower.
