Why is my mower deck uneven?
Common Causes of an Uneven Mower Deck
Incorrect Deck Leveling
- Improper Adjustment: Uneven mower decks often result from improper leveling. Follow the specific leveling instructions in your owner’s manual to avoid uneven cuts.
- Blade Condition: Dull or damaged blades can cause uneven cuts. Regularly check and replace blades to maintain a clean cut.
- Tire Inflation: Incorrect tire pressure can make the deck sit unevenly. Regularly check and adjust tire pressure as per your manual.
- Landscape Conditions: Mowing on uneven terrain can make the deck appear uneven. Adjust your mowing technique or cutting height for better results.
- Suspension Components: Worn suspension parts can lead to an uneven deck. Inspect and replace these components as needed.
- Clogged Deck: Grass or debris build-up under the deck can cause uneven cutting. Clean the deck regularly to prevent this.
