48" deck clogs, 42" better?

[h.lake]

I have a L130 48" deck that clogs in the spring and early summer when the grass and weeds have alot of moisture in them. Would a 42" with only 2 blades work better? I have a mo jack lift to make scraping the deck out easier but i also have a bad disc in my back so i dont want to do it any more than i have to.

Thanks,

H.lake

I like 3 blades over 2... If you do not have a lot of sand in your area, you can get high lift blades, they move a Lot of air along with the cut grass... :smile:KennyV

You might try raising the cutting height. I know this means cutting more often, combined with high lift blades should help solve the problem.
