Ran my new gator 35 today in break in mode. I've owned 2 longtails previously. I know what happens when you hit a stump or similar object at full speed with a longtail, but what happens with a surface drive? Doesnt seem to be any "give" and I'm wondering what breaks? |

It will free float and just bounce up no problem. They won't be nothing break unless the prop get jammed in a stump or something kinda freak like |

It will kick up,just make sure you are clear and have the right grip so as not to break your hand. |

Loosen up the nut that holds the tiller and it'll also float instead of jerking your arm out of socket. 3/4" nut on bottom of plastic cover, by the trim motor. |

You're done breaking it in. run that mofo WOT. Remember it's just a lawn mower engine with a 12.25" blade. |
