only cuts good going backwards

[ronp]

My 28" snapper riding mower (rear engine) does not do a good job cutting the lawn. I have to go over it 3 times to get an semi even cut.
But if I go in reverse it cuts perfectly. New belt, sharpened blade, leveled deck nothing worked . HELP PLEASE

When you level the deck make to front about 1/2 inch lower than the back.

Are you trying to cut going to fast?

No, going as slow as possible forward. Cutting ackwards is a faster speed and it cuts perfect.

I had a snapper was the same way.
Try it with the front of the deck lower as it should be. If that does not help then but the front up half a inch higher than the back as I run my mowers.

Worked great when I leveled the deck. Grass cut was even. Now the deck is to low. Will try to adjust the deck higher when i figure out how to do it. thanks for your help.
