Calling all Exmark Navigator experts!!!!

[fess]

Hey guys, I have a 48" Exmark Navigator. I am having an issue with making marks on lawns. It doesn't happen all the time but I have tried going slower in turns and other tricks. I have been told I'm too heavy for the machine. I'm 6 feet and 270 pounds. I just don't agree with it but I had my worker do most of the mowing this year because I was making marks and I went to weedwhacking. Which is not my favorite....well I need to figure this out because I'm going back out on my own and gotta stop the marks!!!! Help!!! Thank you....

Do you have any pics of the ruts? and machine?

[fess]

No I dont specifically have any of the ruts and the machine is put away in my trailer for the season. But they look just like a walker if your not familiar.

I was told to try putting more air pressure in the tires from my exmark dealer. So I was going to try that in the spring. But its crazy to think that a $13k machine and I was making marks all over the place. I might sell and go to a walk behind but that will really slow me down.

Thoughts???
