My Toro's are 1/2" increments and I have never seen a time I said to myself, "Self, man I wish I had another hole to allow me to set the deck at 1/4" increments instead of just 1/2".

Now I could be missing something, but I see no urgent need for it. It would never keep me from buying a mower without them or make me buy one that had them.

Not noticible is it? Would you be able to tell if I cut your grass a 1/4 of an inch lower?

Come on, your lying......take out a ruler and look at what a 1/4 inch is.....now do you think you could tell if I cut your lawn 1/4 of an inch lower?? ;)

:)

It would be one of those things to say "mines better than yours cause...." but I definetly wouldn't pay extra or anything like that for 1/4" instead of 1/2" increments.

I thought Skookum answered it correctly. My Choppers are not adjustable in 1/4" amounts and I can see no reason for it. If you need that fine of adjustments, you can let about 1 lb. of air out of the tires and drop the cut 1/4".

I feel that having the deck set at the proper pitch and left to right leveling adjustments correct is much more important. This is what will mess up the looks of a lawn the most.

I wouldn't think it matters, but my Woods 2560 has a Hydrolic lift. I could change to 1/8. When I first got it , I didn't think it would matter, but now I love it. I think all you need is 1/2 incresements. Or like Eric said let some air out, but it is nice with the hydrolic-just a pull on the leaver.

I actually use the 1/4 inch increments on my z master! For example.... on those very uneven lawns where 3.5 inches wouls just look to shaggy....3.25 looks smooth and perfect. When the grass is very wet ill also raise it 1/4 inch... makes big diffrence in clippings and dosnt look much diffrent.

I wish mine had 1/4 " adjustments,especially in the 3-4" range,in the spring in heavy growth Id like to be able to cut 3 3/4 then drop to 3 1/2 the next week on some lawns,going to 4" is to high on most of them and 3 1/2 really makes it labor and i have to slow down or the clippings will show.If i want to go 1/4 now i have to add a 1/4" spacer i made out of an old set of blades,I cut the blades off the center,rounded them and balanced them.

Or you could just use 1/4" spacers from a a w/b.

I find that the only time I really need the 1/4" increments is when blending from cool season to warm season grasses. I have a couple of yards where I cut the fescue at 3 1/2" and the bermuda at 2 3/4" and increase 1/4" increments to make the transition smooth. Besides that I guess I really don't need the extra notches, but they are nice to have.

I personally think it would help out a lot, yet I have no experience w/ the Lazers yet. I am getting one shortly and I will find out soon. But in my opinion, yes, it should help.

I had a 1998 lazer and it had only 1/2" increments. I have found that the extra 1/4 gives you better mowing when mowing bermuda lawns and it enables you to mach heights to other machines if you run more than one.
