Toro Timemaster 30" Just arrived today and it has the worst cut I've ever seen

The deck was blowing out around the edges. It would blow leaves away instead of sucking them up.

Mower Deck Blowout Google Search

mower deck blowout for me is when there is too much air flow within the deck causing clippings to blowout around the deck as much or more than what is coming out of the discharge chute. The results are excess grass clippings on top of the deck, and you.

Basically what was happening at 1/2" extra deflection. 1/4" has more vacuum than the other at 1/2".

I need another cup of coffee--my answers are probably not the best.

I mulch mow so the 1/4" lift works great. If you are catching then the 1/2" or more would probably work better since there is more flow thru the catcher.

I have never experienced blowout so I was unfamiliar with the terminology. Thanks for the clarification.
