Took this last week after they cut the lawn at our office. Had to share.
The guy's response: I don't see anything wrong.

Maybe he was making ???? on the lawn:dizzy:

That deck is definitely NOT level. If my cut looked like that on the first pass I would stop immediately.

Definately a flat tire on the mower, and an operator that didn't care, or even notice.

Local outfit here has done that, every lawn they did for a couple days with a flat tire, or two, on a mower. What you get when you assume that "anyone can run a mower".

I have another theory, is the ground right next to the road slightly elevated? Where I live it almost always is next to a road where there is no sidewalk. I just do another pass around to give myself room to turn around on flat land.

He's using an Exmark, said he paid $10k new for it last year. I was guessing the deck wasn't level, but I'm not the professional :laugh:

I never thought about the flat tire. I guess I figured that would have been too obvious.

100% sure it was a flat tire. My 60" did the exact same thing one day. I was out on a property that it didnt matter but that was the final result.

I would bet he had a blade on upside down, I worked with an idiot (he was actually the foreman) who did that, he got scolded. Then the following monday he proceeded to put diesel in our scag tt which by the way had a kohler gas engine, he got fired.

Newest excuse:

"There's holes where I turn" :dizzy:

We'll see what happens in 2 weeks when he cuts it again... yes 2 weeks, like clockwork, unless it is raining that day, then it's 4 weeks...

My only assumption is that he was going to fast when he turned, with a low tire, and the mower "dove" into the turn.

That or there is a high spot a scalped over it.
