Agreed, completely normal for the reasons Bob listed above.
Spindle pullies hot... normal?
Since I've been mulching leaves with my X500 & 48-inch deck, I removed the plastic covers over the two outer spindles. This allows easier removal of the leaf debris.
I noticed that even on a cool day the outer spindle pulleys are very warm to the touch after running for only around 5-mins. After a mulch session they are too hot to touch.
Is this normal?
Obviously I was never able to touch them prior to removing the plastic covers.
I could see them getting hot after 1-2 hours mowing but the fact that they were warm after only 5-mins has me puzzled.
