    ferris stripping kit??

    I had bought a new is600z a few months ago. Its doesn't strip as good as I would like. Can I drop it down any. Seems like its not making contact with the grass to fold the blades over. I felt under the deck and there were holes a half inch lower. Anyone drop their stripping kit lower?
