What to do if my Scag Power Equipment SW Lawn Mower blades are scalping?

  leah21Sep 15, 2025
  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower blades are scalping, digging into the dirt, or cutting very close to the ground, it could be due to low tire pressures, excessive ground speed, cutting too low, rough terrain, or wet grass. Try checking and adjusting the tire pressures, reducing your ground speed, raising the cutting height, changing the direction of cut, or waiting until the grass is dry before cutting.

  If your mower is scalping, check and adjust tire pressures. Reduce ground speed to adjust for conditions. It might be necessary to reduce ground speed, raise the cutting height, change the direction of the cut, and/or change the pitch and level. Also, cut grass after it has dried out.

How to fix an uneven cut on flat ground with my Scag Power Equipment SW Lawn Mower, resulting in a wavy, high-low appearance?

  Katherine BrockAug 26, 2025
  An uneven cut on flat ground, resulting in a wavy appearance, can be due to several factors. The blade lift may be worn off, requiring blade replacement. Ensure the blade is mounted correctly with the cutting edge toward the ground. The deck might be plugged with grass accumulation, so clean the underside of the deck and adjust the pitch and level. If the blade is dull, sharpen it.

Why does my Scag Power Equipment SW leave stringers, or occasional blades of uncut grass?
- R
  Robert CortezAug 27, 2025
  Stringers, or occasional blades of uncut grass, can occur if the engine RPM is too low, so run the engine at full 3600 RPM. If the ground speed is too fast, slow down to adjust for conditions. Cutting wet grass can also cause this, so cut grass after it has dried out. Dull blades also contribute to this problem, so sharpen the blades. Finally, if the deck is plugged with grass accumulation or the belts are slipping, clean the underside of the deck and adjust belt tensions.

  If your lawn mower is leaving a wavy or scalloped cut, it could be due to several factors. The blade lift may be worn off, requiring a blade replacement. Make sure the blade is mounted correctly with the cutting edge toward the ground. Also, grass accumulation under the deck can cause this issue, so clean the underside of the deck and adjust the pitch and level. Dull blades may also be the reason, so sharpen them.
