How to fix an uneven cut on flat ground with my Scag Power Equipment V-RIDE SVR36A-20FX Lawn Mower?

  An uneven cut on flat ground with your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower, resulting in a wavy, high-low appearance, scalloped cut, or rough contour, can be attributed to several factors. A worn lift from the blade requires blade replacement. Ensure the blade is mounted with the cutting edge toward the ground if it was upside down. Clean the underside of the deck if it is plugged with grass accumulation. Adjust the pitch and level if there's too much blade angle (deck pitch). For issues related to an improperly mounted deck or a bent spindle area, it is recommended to consult your authorized SCAG dealer. Finally, sharpen the blade if it is dull.

Why is my Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower leaving streaks?

  Colleen CortezAug 20, 2025
  Streaking in your lawn after mowing with a Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower can occur due to several reasons. The blades may be dull or worn, or they may be incorrectly sharpened. In this case, sharpen the blades. Low engine RPM or a slipping belt can also cause streaking; ensure the engine is running at full RPM and adjust the belt tension as needed. Additionally, if the deck is plugged with grass accumulation, clean the underside of the deck. Other potential causes include mowing wet grass (cut grass after it has dried out), ground speed too fast (slow your speed to adjust for conditions) and bent blades (replace blades).

What to do if my Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is scalping?

  Becky GarciaAug 26, 2025
  If your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower is scalping—hitting dirt or cutting very close to the ground—several factors could be responsible. Check and adjust tire pressures if they are low. Reduce ground speed to adjust for conditions if you're moving too fast. If you are cutting too low, you may need to reduce ground speed, raise the cutting height, or change the direction of cut, and/or change pitch and level. This issue can also arise on rough terrain; in such cases, consider reducing ground speed, raising the cutting height, or changing the direction of cut. Avoid mowing wet grass; cut it after it has dried out.

  A sloping ridge across the width of the cutting path with your Scag Power Equipment Lawn Mower can be caused by several factors related to the tires and deck. Ensure that the tire pressures are equal by checking and adjusting them. Also, check and adjust tire pressure if the wheels are uneven. For issues related to an incorrectly mounted deck, or if the deck is not level side-to-side, it is recommended to consult your authorized SCAG dealer and check for level and correct it.
