Not leveled Between the Edges of the Passes on grass

11 years ago

The riding lawn mower has cut the grass uglier and uglier each time. Every second and there after passes showed clearly the very uneven edges between first and second passes, between the second and the third, and so on. Although the land is not strictly flat, the grass used to look much more even than now after being mowed. I am not handy, and I don't think I could flip the mower over to see what's going on. However, the only logic coming to me is that the blade is crooked or the same sort. What might be wrong? If indeed it is the blade, as a regular home owner with a few tools around, am I be able to replace the blade?

Thanks

It is possible that you have a tire going flat and that is lowering the entire mower on the affected side.

It is also possible that the side of the deck that is cutting the LOWER height of grass might be lowering itself due to some adjuster for deck height having vibrated loose and thus is adjusting that side of the deck down due to vibration.

Whenever considering deck height adjustment ALWAYS make certain all tires are inflated to OEM specifications BEFORE touching anything about adjustment procedures.

What brand and model of rider? Do you know how many blades the deck has? Can you post a picture of the lawn that shows the uneven passes?

mownie is going to be right about the tire preasure being your problem 9 out of 10 times. The correct tire preasure will be on the sidewall of the tire, just like with automotive tires. Use a bicycle pump as it doesn't take much to inflate mower tires.
