I'm considering making some modifications to my deck to reduce the amount of clippings that blow out from the front/side of the deck and end up covering my legs/top of deck with about 1/2" to 3/4" layer of clipping after mowing around 2 acres.<p>I am using a multching plate and mowing at a height of 4". I recent switched to 2 blades per spindle and the amount of blow-out seemed to increase. I'm using a Scag STT 61".<p>I'm considering doing one of three things:<p>1.) Add some kind of heavy rubber flap down from the front of the deck a couple of inches.<p>2.) Decreasing the spacer length between the blades and the spindles by 1". (Then I would need to set the deck at 3" to mow at 4".) The result of this would be lowering the skirt of the deck by 1". May cause airflow problems due to reduced distance from deck to blades?<p>3.) Shud-up and mow.<p>Any constructive thoughts or suggestions.<p>Thanks,<br><p>----------<br>D. Tom<br>
