Why is my Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower streaking?
- M
  mdelgadoAug 28, 2025
  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is streaking, leaving strips of uncut grass in the cutting path, several factors could be at play. You might have dull or worn blades, or they may be incorrectly sharpened, so try sharpening the blades. The engine RPM might be too low; ensure it's running at full RPM. Also, check for a slipping belt and adjust the belt tension if needed. Grass accumulation under the deck could be the cause, so clean the underside of the deck. Cutting wet grass or moving too fast can also lead to this issue, so cut when the grass is dry and slow down. Finally, inspect the blades for bending and replace them if necessary.

  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower leaves stringers, or occasional blades of uncut grass, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the engine is running at full RPM. If your ground speed is too fast, slow down to adjust for the conditions. Avoid cutting wet grass; wait until it has dried out. Check your blades; dull or incorrectly sharpened blades need sharpening. A plugged deck due to grass accumulation requires cleaning the underside of the deck. Finally, belts slipping will require you to adjust the belt tension.

What to do if Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower has uneven cut on flat ground?

  Virginia BradshawSep 3, 2025
  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is producing an uneven cut on flat ground, several factors could be the cause. A worn lift on the blade means you should replace the blade. Check to see if the blade is upside down and mount it with the cutting edge toward the ground. If the deck is plugged with grass accumulation, clean the underside of the deck. If there is too much blade angle (deck pitch), adjust the pitch and level. For issues related to an improperly mounted deck or a bent spindle area, consult your authorized SCAG dealer. Also, check if the blade is dull and sharpen it if needed.

Why is my Scag Power Equipment Tiger Cat STC48V-651FS Lawn Mower leaving a sloping ridge?
- A
  Adam MartinezSep 12, 2025
  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is creating a sloping ridge across the width of the cutting path, start by checking and adjusting the tire pressure, as unequal tire pressures can cause this issue. Also, check for uneven wheels and adjust the tire pressure accordingly. If the deck is mounted incorrectly, consult your authorized SCAG dealer. Lastly, ensure the deck is level from side to side, and correct it if it is not.
