2008 Trimstar 48 - Need More Lift

[SMALLTIME22]

Mower above - how can i get more lift out of this deck aside from cutting at 1.5 inches (lol)? The Fusion blades work well but i need more lift. Trying to get a more manicured cut. I am not sure of this is a blade or deck issue. I cannot locate a super hi-lift for this mower. I wonder if the leading edge of the deck has anything to do with this.....the way that the front of the deck is more open, raises up about an inch compared to the back. This is great for leaves in the fall but otherwise? Front of blades are 1/4" lower that the back, deck is clean and yes its level also....tire pressure is also to proper pressure. I am talking about the cutting deck and not the dealer checklist.
THANKS!!!!

I'm not aware of and we dont offer a higher lift blade than what you already have.
Have you checked the deck belt and the engine RPM's?

I'm running the same set up. 1/4 pitch to the deck and cutting about 3 inches. Cuts well here in MN. Cutting at full speed with a sulky on back also. Using the stock fusion blades.

FYI, Scag 48" blades are the same size as the 48" Trimstar blades you might be able to find more high lift blade selection under the Scag name.
