Is it cutting to short?


Raise the cutting height

look no farther than the hands on the machine for culpability.

scalping is operator error.

buying a king-o-lawn at a swap meet and paying $20 for it is another operator error.

Ditto, here.

Write it off as a $20 loss and go buy a good mower with a floating deck or deck rollers. That's if you didn't correct the problem by adjusting the height.

Operator error it could be. Also what plays into that is the cutting height.

BTW what is a "king o lawn" mower?

Get some rollerskates, or get a bike seat, and make a sulky. And put the blade on right side up.

Take the blade(s) off, hook up a wagon to it, use for hauling where you can't drive to.
Then go out and buy a real commercial mower, they come with operators manuals.
