Hey!
I’ve got a scag with 52 in deck. I’m neurotic about sharpening blades and could shave with mine. Also, keep the deck spotless.
I cut about 15 acres with my machine and notice when the grass is a bit high I can go fast while mowing. I run a four inch deck height and when I do, with any speed, I get furrows. If a slow to a crawl, the grass looks fine. There’s nothing wrong with the machine. It is my suspicion that the fron deck rollers are compressing the grass and it is not standing tall for the cut after the pass, the grass slowly stands back up in cut.
If I lower the deck to two inches, the cut is fine at speed.
I am considering removing the front deck rollers.
Does anyone have experience with this issue.
