Why is my Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower leaving strips of uncut grass?

  Mr. Jordan JohnsonAug 6, 2025
  Your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower may be leaving strips of uncut grass due to several reasons. The blades might be dull or worn, or they might be incorrectly sharpened; in both cases, you should sharpen the blades. Other potential causes include low engine RPM (run the engine at full RPM), a slipping belt (adjust belt tension), grass accumulation under the deck (clean the underside of the deck), ground speed being too fast (slow down), wet grass (cut when dry), or bent blades (replace the blades).

  Tamara MartinAug 16, 2025
  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is leaving an uneven cut on flat ground, resulting in a wavy, high-low appearance, scalloped cut, or rough contour, consider these potential causes: a worn lift on the blade (replace the blade), the blade being upside down (mount it with the cutting edge toward the ground), grass accumulation under the deck (clean the underside of the deck), too much blade angle (adjust pitch and level), or a dull blade (sharpen the blade). For issues related to a deck mounted improperly or bent spindle area consult your authorized SCAG dealer.
