What height are Mid- Atlantic (VA) members normally cutting fescue at for summer?
I currently have my Metro 36 with mulch baffle/blades height set:
Axle E
Spindle 3 below/1 above
Caster 4 1/2 below/ 1 3/16 above
This supposedly equals 3 3/8 cut height.
Blades Exmark mulching blades - newly sharpened
The Notched foils on side discharge cutting at 2 7/8 (1/2 inch lower) for spring was awesome, but raising the height and adding the mulch kit is making the Fescue look unmanicured.
It is recommeded to cut fescue at 3 to 3 1/2 by all the Turf University sites.
Thanks, Jay
