      Michael FlynnJul 31, 2025
      Uneven stubble when using the Frontier Lawn Mower can occur due to several reasons. The knives might be dull or broken, in which case you should replace them. Also, check that the knives are installed correctly, ensuring the arrow on the knife's upper face points in the disk's direction of rotation. Finally, the PTO speed might be too low; increase it to 540 min-1.

      If your Frontier Lawn Mower isn't adapting well to the ground contour, it could be due to an incorrect main frame setting. Adjust the main frame height with regards to the ground. Another possible cause is excessive ground speed; try reducing it.

      Daniel HernandezAug 8, 2025
      Insufficient cutterbar ground clearance during headland turns with your Frontier Lawn Mower can be caused by a few things. First, check the tractor lift linkage setting, referring to the machine attachment instructions. Also, the leveling rod adjustment on the tractor's 3-point lift might be too long, so shorten it. Finally, a lengthened cylinder rod could be the issue; shorten the cylinder rod.
