Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I just took delivery of an 06-07 9526DLE PRO and love the machine but it seems that it moves too fast in its low forward gears. In my experience, 1st gear and sometimes 2nd are creeper gears. Well 1st gear on this machine is a regular paced walk for me and 2nd gear is a downright fast pace and I have a long stride since I'm 6'. This doesn't seem right. The 2 reverse gears work fine and are not as slow my previous machines. Is it possible to slow down the forward speeds by changing the shift rod adjustment? Or is there some other way to slow this down?
