*****TIPS*****
The best performance is achieved when cutting in dry conditions. The quality of the cut is directly related to ground speed during
cutting. Under most conditions cutting should be done at a slower ground speed. Fast speeds should be reserved for conditions
where weeds and brush are thinned out or not very tall. If the quality of the cut is not satisfactory, attempt at slower speeds.
