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 have reread my post in which i ask a question
of those who have some time in w z mowers.
I believe I got it worded right.Apreciate the time
but somebody needs to read it again, also unless
Im missing something.

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.
THANKS FOR INPUT,PRETTY MUCH WHAT THOUGHT.

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.
Surely appreciate your ideas on this subject.
Its these litle bits of knowledge that make
me value this forum greatly.

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.
