Hi Norm ,It's been a few years since I've taken my self propelled Victa for a spin but from what I remember yes they are a bit of a brisk walk
even when you lower the rpm to slow down the drive speed.I remember the mower was easier to push forward with the
drive belt tensioner disengaged after the mower was used for a few minutes..
