I have a 42" zero turn that is cutting unevenly. With all tires are at 15 lbs the blades measure 3 inches from the ground. The grass on the grass shoot side is higher. Thoughts??

Blade or two upside down? Seen it several times.

Wrong blades?

Wrong spindle?

Front tires should be closer to 20 pounds of pressure, and rear tires closer to 12 psi. Put mower on level concrete and get out your tape measure. At this point pick a spot on the deck as a reference point and measure side to side in front and back. Front of deck should be pitched about 1/4” lower than rear. Look and adjust deck accordingly. Also check that blades are not bent and spindles are in good shape and secure.
