You will probably figure out the best adjustment after mowing and fooling with a few different settings, like the ones suggested. My ford's leveling box is jammed since I've owned it and surprisingly it's only off a little, don't notice it when cutting, but the 6 ft rhino I use, seems to be slightly lower in the front, did the tail wheel adjustment once since I've had it, cuts grasses pretty good like that, and seems level and neat like a finish mower on a high setting. I keep the blades sharp and check to make sure the gear box is tight to the mower etc. runs smooth no vibration. 2 things come to mind, when turning it needs to be floating, not dragging or you will tear up the turf or dig in etc. The other is if you are going to hit heavier brush, high grass, weeds etc. that position control lever is really nice to have if you spot something ahead by the front wheels, you can lift it up to clear whatever it is or if it bogs down you can lift it up to help clear it out or raise it up before you hit whatever it is you would like to avoid. Without position control I'd want to know the mowing areas, fields, keep the grass/weeds from getting too high and mark out any large rocks, holes, ditches etc. before mowing. Mine does not have live pto and although I need to get an overunning clutch, I work around it, keep a sharp eye out for things and if I need to stop the tractor, I let er down, the grass/weeds stops it very quickly, without position control I could not do that and would not mow unless I had an overunning clutch adapter on the pto, probably ought to get that for this year, they are like $40 or so.
