I"ve got a 12' hydroswing. It doesn't make any difference which way you go on the first pass. The only thing for you to think about is which side you want the mower on when you make the last swath around the outside of the field. I personally, like for the mower to be on my right side. 'Seems it's easy for me to watch the fence and move the mower with the hydralic lever with my left hand. I found that I need to be about 3-4 feet away from the fence on the first pass. It's a lot easier to mow the last pass if you've given yourself enough room. If you drive too close on the first round, you will constantly be adjusting the mower on the last pass. You will want to make six rounds around the field. What I do is mow five rounds and then cut the fence swath.This then gives me my six rounds. Any less than six and you won't have enough room to make the turns on the ends. Then, simply mow back and forth rotating the mower from side to side. Just stay away from the fence the first few times. After you've gotten used to the mower, you'll get better at judging the distance. Since this is your first hydra swing, I'd probably advise keeping the mower on your right side for the first initial rounds. You'll catch on real quick how it feels to have the mower on your left side. It's different! You'll soon get used to it. It's the neatest thing there is!! You're gonna like your hydra swing!!
