      Jonathan DawsonAug 23, 2025
      If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is leaving occasional strips of uncut grass, there are several possible causes. First, ensure the engine is running at full RPM. If your ground speed is too fast, slow down. Avoid cutting wet grass; wait until it has dried. Check if the blades are dull or incorrectly sharpened, and sharpen them if needed. Also, grass accumulation can plug the deck, so clean the underside of the deck. Finally, make sure the belts are not slipping, and adjust the belt tension if necessary.

      If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is leaving a wavy appearance, scalloped cut, or rough contour, several factors could be the cause. If the lift is worn from the blade, replace it. 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 pitch and level if there's too much blade angle. If the deck is mounted improperly or the spindle area is bent, consult your authorized SCAG dealer.
