You'll get better time from not overlapping, not to mention that if you're striping, your stripes will be bigger 'n better, I think. Just be careful not to miss anything!

The mower should go straight without any effort. If your wiggling, it must be from squeezing the brakes? If the mower "lists" check you air pressre in the tires to make sure they are equal.

I overlap a couple inches- more if terrain is bumpy.

I think you should find a flat open field, and take your 36" and go practice.
Start out in 1st gear, and increase your speed as you become more agile with the machine.

The less you overlap the better.

i agree with jodi, go out and practice, thats how all of us have gotten to where we are today. it takes time, and patience. the madder you get the worse you cut, trust me on this 1

Overlap as little as possible so that you get the most productivity out of the mower.
