John deere D170 more speed

My 2011 D170 will do around 5.5 mph. I am looking to make it go a little faster. I cut for six hours and am looking to "cut" a little time off my mowing, any ideas.

I was watching a show with those hotrod mower's on it the expert said you could mow up to 15 mph. other than a re gear or governor adjustment maybe look at larger tires . is a d170n hydro drive if so you are stuck with that speed unless you wanted to spend the money to alter the wheel motors
