Hello! I had a quick question for fellow Toro Super Recycler Owners. Do you notice a brake like response from your self propelled system when changing directions? I love my mower, but this is the one thing I struggled to get used to all season. It was my first self propelled mower usage though, so I wasn't sure if this is normal/safety like or if something is out of adjustment.
I have the 21565 model super recycler.
More detailed description of the "brake like response":
It's most noticeable when changing directions, such as going into a fence corner where you would have to stop and reverse to turn around. I've found the key is to let off the personal pace self propel and give it a final push (any forward momentum) and then it's like it unlocks the wheels into neutral. If I don't time it right though it's like the wheels are locked up with brakes on and I have to drag it backwards, then give it a quick push forward (which unlocks the wheels), and then it'll spin freely. I have a few inside corners that require me to cut into them and back up. I also have a small inclined section of my lawn where I push it up and then will roll it back down.
Just looking to see if this is normal operation. It makes sense to me that it would be a safety feature, in case someone is cutting on an incline it doesn't just immediately roll back on you, but I wasn't able to find much about it in the manual or online so I figured I'd ask.
Thanks!
