Mower deck Tiger Cub getting clogged up with grass

[Burris33]

I have a 48" Scag Tiger Cub with about 900 hours on it. When I mow it almost always gets filled up with grass around and above the blades, causing it to have a very uneven cut. I went to my local dealer and asked what the problem could be. They said someone could have bolted a baffle on the deck for mulching, so I looked and everything is welded to the deck but there is a baffle surrounding all the blades very closely. I was wondering if Scag has made a specific deck for mulching in the past? If so, is there anything I could do to fix it?

Had a customer a few years back that after trying extra high lift blades found that it would clog the deck in about 15 feet of mowing. Had to use high lift or normal lift blades.

My snapper pro will load up with clippings if I use extra high lift blades or set the blades to high in the deck.

I found that the gator blades work good.
