Try to sharpen the blades, install new cutting blades, level the mower deck from side-to-side and front-to-rear, clean the underside of the mower, and adjust the tire pressure.

  Tony JenkinsAug 31, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower is mowing with an uneven cutting height, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the blades are sharp; if not, sharpen them. Bent cutting blades can also cause this, so install new ones. Check if the mower deck is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear, and adjust as needed. A dirty underside of the mower can interfere with cutting, so clean it. Also, verify that the tire pressure is correct. For a bent blade spindle, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
