Deck adjustment for best cut

[linky]

I just purchased a 44" floating deck w.b. I was wondering should the deck be the same height in the front as the back? I have heard that off setting the deck can provide a better cut in thick fescue. Just curious, thanks for responses.

Set at the same height, the factory sets the pitch on the wb.

What size are the drive tires? Does the front castors have spacers on the bottom?

The drive tires are 16x7.50-8"
The front casters do have spacers on the top but not sure about the bottom. I will lok at them tomarrow.

My hopper says to set the rear 1/8 inch higher for less lug and better cut but dont know about your setup?

Just my .02.

Peace!

The front casters have 2 spacers under and 3 over.

On most mowers it makes no difference. The manufactures state that 1/4 inch is how it should be. I set mine in the middle ( I own all scag mowers so its 2 spacers below the housing and 2 above). What brand is it???

Its a Toro.

linky,

If its a TORO floating deck, don't you adjust the height with 4 pins to the top of the deck? I never had a TORO, but Lawrence Stone is the godfather of TORO WB's. I would think that on these type mowers, that the pitch is set from the factory. Just set the height that you want, say 3". It should be 3" at the front tip of the blade, and 3 and 1/8 or 1/4" at the rear. You have it made, on the fixed decks, it becomes a little more confusing as to how to achieve a certain height, AND correct pitch, WITHOUT removing bade spacers from under the deck and making it cut worse.

Thanks, I talked with the dealer and he said the deck pitch is already set. Thanks
