Dave I have not had any problems fuelling my mower Kerry

G'day Dave, what is the exact question please, is it slow to fill because of poor filler point or is your fill method low volume per time. Ours is a 2014 and the fuel fill hole is close to 75mm dia, no problems at all.

G'day Clyde, know what you say, they don't seem to be a long wet grass mower do they. All I can suggest given what you have already done is to mow it a couple of times taking less of a cut per mow. They are that quick that the time wouldn't be all that long unless you are talking 3 or 4 acres or more. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Our Fastrak 48" is still mowing to perfection and very pleased with it. I don't let the grass get to long and try to mow it before forecast rain.

I have removed the deck shute to better enable clearing thick grass, and use imported hi-lift mulching blades and have no problems. I find it easy to direct the cuttings away from buildings for the benefit of easy fast mowing. I use my fastrack 54 around the house and include about 3 acres of rugged paddock including tussock grass. You have maybe the best mower available, perhaps no restrictions around the grass exit is the only answer.

Hello Ron,

Mine will accumulate grass under the deck when cutting very wet green grass, to clear it I drop revs from 95%+ of throttle to idle, leaving it in gear and reversing the mower a little, it then throws it out the side chute and also on the ground underneath.

To avoid this I don't cut after rain and always with the side discharge chute director ( ? ) held up with a bungey cord to facilitate air flow and spread the grass out over the previously cut area.

To have it happening in dry grass I can only guess you might not have near full/flat out engine throttle. I think all mowers need a clean in that area once a year or more.

I cut at least 8 acres of our land at least once a year and the major part of 1 1/2 acres round the house every fortnight or so as required.

Silly questions, blades not on upside down, have an upward bend on the ends ?

Another member with a Fastrack 48" has said this Ron-

"Put a set of Gator Blades on it..this made a huge difference in the Cut quality and build-up under deck on my mower which is a 2014 Hustler Fastrak SD 48" deck.

I have never had this problem with my Fastrak 54, probably because I fitted high-lift mulching blades which really throw out the grass. Search the net. I got mine from America as they were not available for the 54 model
Since all of my mowing is rural and well clear of buildings and people, I also found it an advantage to detatch the chute and simply use common sense to avoid throwing any debris dangerously. I mow 5 acres regularly to keep the yard free of snakes and it looks park-like.
