    How to fix uneven cut with my Gravely Lawn Mower?

      Jessica SmithAug 5, 2025
      If your Gravely Lawn Mower is cutting unevenly, make sure the tire pressure is even. If not, inflate the tires to the correct pressure. Also, the mower deck may not be level and you may need to adjust it. Check for any damage to the gauge wheel or axle and repair or replace if needed. Inspect the mower suspension for looseness, adjusting the mounting hardware or replacing any bent or broken parts. Lastly, a bent blade can cause an uneven cut, so replace the blade if necessary.

      If your Gravely Lawn Mower is leaving uncut grass, try these steps: First, reduce your mowing speed. Second, ensure the engine is running at full throttle. If the grass is too tall, raise the cutting height and mow the area twice. Check if the blades are dull and sharpen or balance them. Replace damaged blades, if necessary. Finally, inspect the belt for slippage, adjusting or replacing it as needed.
