Triadvantage deck meets WD 40
Well, after months of frustation, I decided to go ahead and try a lubricant spray under my Turf Tracer HP, Triadvantage deck....
Steps (1) scrape deck (2) Spray degreaser (carefully) around spindles (3) Pressure wash deck (4) Saturate deck with wd 40 (5) Engage blades to remove any excess lubricant Conclusion; after mowing thick fescue and rye lawns there was little to no accumulation... It was nice to mow a whole day, without having to scrap the deck from previous lawns.. It's an inexpensive way to make your day ...!

Fluid film does a better job, but still won't last very long.

I've been applying fluid film to the deck on my lazer z every time I scrape/change blades. Each time there is less build up and the grass scrapes off easier and easier each time. I highly recommend it. It doesn't eliminate build up but greatly reduces it.

Only thing is you have to maintain the deck (re apply lubricant) but sure beats scraping 10 lbs of clippings daily...

I use Fluid Film also, and it works great. I wish it wasn't so damn expensive though.

Don't like to add lubricants that could possibly damage customers lawn or cause spots.
I scrape and change blades daily and haven't had much build up. Keep em sharp and clean !!!!!

I have been using Mo Deck from Tractor supply, It works very well. I have been mowing lots of wet lawns due to weather and the deck is clean and shinny, I apply once every month and there is minimal scraping. It is expensive though.
