Travis,

How wide is the strip and where is it located in the cutting path?

It leaves a windrow of cut grass, or clippings on the right side of the mower (under the deck). Both mowers are doing it when the grass is a little bit heavy. They did not do this before. We have to cut the yard two different directions to make the cut grass disappear.

Travis,

Engine rpm and possibly governor adjustment would be my best guess. Which engine do you have?

Thanks

My dealer says the rpm is correct. He has checked both mowers.

Travis,

Send me a pm with the name of your dealer to terry.eckert@exmark.com and I'll give them a call. The other thing you may want to do is raise the rear wheel height up one notch so the back is cutting a little higher. It could be that the mower is pushing some air. Also, I know it sounts simple but make sure the mulch plug is installed correctly.

Thanks

Terry
