My raptor cuts unevenly in taller grass. The pattern makes it appear to be the center blade which is not cutting well. Looks sort of like a Mohawk haircut.

Most low grade mowers will cut like this in tall/thick grass.
The reason is because the grass from the left blade is clogging up the center blade.
Make sure you are cutting at full throttle at all times.
Got me,Ive seen Scag Cheetahs do the same thing,,the bottom of the deck looks pretty much the same to me from my Bobcat to my RSD..actually the SD looks better other than its a little thinner and the chute opening is restricted.And what is different on the high grade mowers that prevents this?

I understand the left side is throwing all its grass clippings into the center as well,,so that is a problem on any mower if the grass is tall,thick and wet enough. In my findings of cutting for the past 30 years,,you need to double and or triple cut anything taller than 1ft...especially if you are going fast and want it to look nice when done.Remember the 1/3rd rule right guys and slow down...lol
