Serious Problem with QOC

[LandFakers]

So I have really started to notice how bad my exmark cuts compared to my 7H19 with the 7 Iron deck. On any type of lawn the exmark will leave stringers. Doesnt matter how fast I go or what blades or how sharp. The JD will cut all the grass no matter what while the exmarks trivantage is forcing me double cut EVERYTHING. Any suggestions on where to start with this. I tried to snap a picture to show you guys.



Thanks

Couple things to look for~
1).check the idler arm on the blade deck, and see if there is any play, if so the bushings is most likely worn and should be replaced, (they have been known to wear out as quickly as just a yrs worth of use.
2). Check the drive belts on the pulley blades ( small belt coming off the engine & larger one going to blades) and see if any are bottoming out causing to slip, if so, either replace the pulleys and or in need of new belts~
Just alittle bit of wear & slippage I've found has caused those stringers when I've been cutting with my exmark~ ( Hope the info helps )

Make sure your deck is pitched correctly. Some manufacturers recommend having the deck 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower in front than in the back.

I bumped up the RPMs and she's cutting great. It was at 3450 WOT no load so I bumped it up to 3680 and off we go!
