Why does my HUSTLER Lawn Mower discharge grass in clumps?

Leslie NewtonAug 30, 2025
If your HUSTLER Lawn Mower discharges grass in clumps, it might be because insufficient air is entering the deck. Raise the front baffles on the leading edge of each cutting chamber. If the grass is wet, lower your ground speed to allow the deck to process the grass better. If too much grass is being removed in one cutting, mow more frequently or mow multiple times at successively lower cut heights.
