      Chelsea SimpsonSep 2, 2025
      Your Ferris Lawn Mower may be leaving stringers because the blades are not sharp or are nicked; sharpen your blades. Another cause could be that the blades are worn down too far, so replace them. Make sure the engine speed is at full throttle and that your ground speed is not too fast; slow down if necessary.
