  Darrell PageAug 7, 2025
  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is leaving strips of uncut grass in the cutting path, several factors could be at play. The blades might be dull or worn, or perhaps they were sharpened incorrectly, so sharpen the blades. Ensure the engine is running at full RPM. Slipping belts could also be the culprit, so adjust the belt tension. Grass accumulation under the deck can cause this issue; therefore, clean the underside of the deck. Avoid mowing wet grass and slow down your ground speed. Bent blades can also cause this problem, so replace the blades.

  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is producing an uneven cut on flat ground, resulting in a wavy, high-low appearance, scalloped cut, or rough contour, consider these potential causes. If the lift is worn from the blade, replace the blade. Ensure the blade is mounted correctly with the cutting edge toward the ground. Clean the underside of the deck to remove any grass accumulation. Adjust the deck pitch and level. If the deck is mounted improperly or the spindle area is bent, consult your authorized SCAG dealer. Also, ensure that you sharpen the blade.

  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is producing an uneven cut on uneven ground, resulting in a wavy appearance, high-low scalloped cut, or rough contour, it is likely due to the uneven ground itself.
