    Why is there grass build up at exit of my BEFCO Lawn Mower?
    • K
      Kevin MooreAug 26, 2025
      If your BEFCO Lawn Mower has grass building up at the exit, it could be because the grass is wet. Allow the grass to dry before mowing. Alternatively, the grass might be too high. Raise the mower, shift to a lower gear, and make two passes over the grass: mow high on the first pass, then cut to the desired height on the second pass.
