Any one know how to cut tall crabgrass in one pass without leaving some of the stems still standing..I have a commercial cub cadet tank48 that mows about anything you want to really nice except this tall crabgrass with stems in this hot dry weather. I'm using a highlift blade and I keep them sharp. But I still have to recut some areas to eliminate the stems. The problem isn't quite as bad if I'm cutting really low(about 1 1/2 ") but cutting around around 2 and up gets really bad.

Crab grass is a pain in the --s!!!
It grows at an angle, nasty stuff!!!
Sharp blades, a clean deck, slow down your ground speed, change direction.

Welcome to the forum!

Crabgrass is definitely a challenge. I'm going to move your thread over to the lawn care section to see if we can get you any additional advice.
