what are you putting them on...? https://gripstuds.com/collections/tractor-studs?srsltid=AfmBOor_QuACMRP5C21SYv8XCzkDrHMUNCTUEeJCYVVDjXEdzLSd9snA

Now you've gone and done it..... some years ago, I was passing by a Monroe Muffler shop it dawned on me my oil was overdue on the 2-year-old Jeep I was driving, and since their lot was almost empty I "thought" I could get in and out quick. Well, I got in immediately; but, 45 minutes later my...

interestingly, my JD x585 has a drip tray that the engineers designed to catch the bit of oil that spills out when replacing the filter. It's also nice hold JD has a flexible drain tube, so you can direct the oil flow into a container, and not all over the machine or floor. If they can do it...

what you talk'n 'bout Willis, can't you see MY lawn is perfectly level..... 🫣

I only posted those to show that the blades cut minute clippings and didn't leave rows of mulch or strips of high grass. The grass was still very damp, and the wind was almost blowing me off the machine. The cut is consistently level and even, and this whole area is our leach field, so I don't...

I hear you.... since this problem seems to have started immediately upon getting this unit, and other customers have had/are having the same issue it seems this is an inherent manufacturing deficiency... time to trade the dang thing in for a decent machine!

Hmmmmm, well imagine that . . . . . Cons & Common Complaints Cut Quality: Some reviews indicate that the mower may leave "stragglers" or doesn't cut evenly in very tall or thick grass, potentially requiring a second pass

some before and after results with Oregon G6 mulching blades set at 3" with the grass currently at about10" and damp grass today . . . . the leaves and bark are from a couple Sycamore trees, huge leaves and tough bark - - -

small 22 caliber directly through; but do it in the grass, not a concrete floor ..... 😱

Uhmmm, I'd guess that softer tires will just cause you to scalp the dickens out of the lawn. Maybe try aerating on a rainy day and then rolling it to level things a bit . . . . . jmo

Oh come one, really....? This is exactly why Vise-grips were made... sheezzzz!

I'd blame the Gravely not the blades.... the blades worked great on my Gravely, it was the Gravely which was a POS, hence the JD's.....

maybe a set of these..... Marastar Turf Traction, they work great on my slopes

I've used Oregon G6's on a Gravely XL2148ZT, JD 345, JD 585, and now my Ferris IS2600 and never had a bad cutting or build up under the deck. That includes cutting 12"+ deep wet stuff . . . . .

go mow your yard/lawn and take a good photo showing the mohawking so we can see for ourselves

if the blades are not level that can cause air flow disruption and weird cutting issues - Google can be your friend too..... A "lawn mohawk" is typically caused by improper mowing, such as dull blades, uneven mower decks, mowing too fast, or excessive grass length. The blades are either torn...

if the pressures are way out of range from one another then the deck can't be level....

check that the towing disengagement lever(s) haven't popped out... I doubt this is the problem but worth checking first.

maybe this video will help - - -

actually I guess it's all dependent upon which Bad Boy dealer site one uses.... I just Googled this - https://shop.badboymowers.com/products/part-038-7230-00-72-high-lift-fusion-blades and it shows 24.218" Hmmmmm..... :unsure:

Bad Boy 72" deck use 24" blades... also, have you check the tire air pressure to make sure they are all up to spec...?

you're probably correct.... just thought I'd put that out there. (y)

like "A" said, you can wait until the regular blades wear out; but, mulching blades will make clippings a whole lot smaller, and the lawn will look nicer without all the heavy rows of clippings. You decide.....

is this the type of flat terminal you're referring too.....??? just use a brass brush, or some emery cloth...

So, you have a "Rear Engine Relic" do you, that really defines things..... :unsure:

I too have been running nothing but Oregon mulching blades year-round. I'll match the look of my lawn up against any supposed professional job any time.

Starter Pinion Gear 695708 and stop being snarky.....

I dug a small lagoon and pour it all in there now. My wife was having fits when I used her boiling pots .....

been watching it for years.... that's usually the last thing I watch before going to sleep. I've found that a good comedy show lets me fall asleep quicker and sleep sounder.

ahhhhh, nothing better than the scent of good old Cosmoline in the morning....

I'm not sure if you'll find a regular mower that will cut through anything over a foot high without bogging down. Sounds like you really need a brush hog at this point....

Question(s) - - - 1) how high is the grass when you cut... 2) what is the height setting of your deck... also, someone mention "Gravely" as a future alternative. I won't go into detail, but I was a longtime Gravely owner - now due to warranty and quality issues they're history....

for what it's worth, my soil condition is sandy loam, and the deck bearings on my Gravely were burning out about every 3 months or 30 hours of use. After going through 3 sets of expensive OEM's I switched to Oregon brands spindles. These have lasted over 2 years or around a couple hundred hours...

end of season I try to remember to fog all my engines much like a marine engine.....

how about putting the blame on the real party responsible for the trash, the slob who threw it out their window..... the grass will blow away in mere minutes....

so, in other words what everyone is saying is that instead of fixing this forum someone just went ahead and broke it some more, no big surprise there.....

well of course it does.... it's a John Deere "green" card ..... silly!

It definitely slows down those crotch rockets!

is this who/where you tried - - - Andrew.Knizner@ventrac.com 330-961-0257

Thanks guys!

I'll have to try this stuff on my recycled asphalt drive to keep anything from growing up in it....

you don't happen to be an administrator for this site by any chance too, do you . . . . . 🙄

well, that was a total waste of time.....

Original tire spec's - - - Front tire = 410/350-5, 4 PLY Rear tire = 18x9.5-8

well now, that's the same # on the spec sheet I posted. Hmmm..... How about a couple clear pictures of the tires, which might show the sizes....?

are you saying your machine is a "Husqvarna CZ4817"... ? if so - Detailed Specifications: Engine: 17 HP Kawasaki V-twin engine with electric start. Cutting Width: 48 inches. Transmission: Dual Hydro-gear BDP10A pumps and Parker-Ross TE14 wheel motors. Tires: 13-inch front tires, 23-inch rear...

tell the customer she killed the machine and sell her a new one. Serves her right . . . . .

ehhhh, you service guys are just mad cause she's trying to get her money's worth out of those blades. Oh ya, was there any oil in this mower, or had it all been used as well . . . . .
