Why am I seeing streaking conditions in the swath of my Woods Lawn Mower?
Streaking in the swath can occur for several reasons. First, the grass may be too wet, so allow it to dry before mowing. Second, the blades may not be cutting grass pressed down by the tractor tires; try slowing the tractor's ground speed while maintaining full PTO rpm, and cutting lower can also help. Finally, dull blades can cause streaking, so sharpen or replace them.
What to do if the Woods Lawn Mower discharges material unevenly, leaving bunches along the swath?
Uneven discharge and bunching can happen for several reasons. It could be that the material is too high and there's too much of it. Try reducing ground speed while keeping the tractor PTO at 540 RPM, or make two passes, raising the cutter for the first pass and lowering it for the second, cutting at a 90° angle to the first pass. Ensure the rear of the cutter is high enough to discharge material without causing other issues. Also, wet grass can cause this issue, so allow the grass to dry or slow down the tractor while maintaining full PTO rpm, and cutting lower. Lastly, the rear of the cutter might be too low, trapping material. Adjust the cutter height and attitude to resolve this.
How to fix Woods Lawn Mower cutting grass lower in the center of the swath than at the edge?
If the grass is being cut lower in the center of the swath compared to the edge, the height of the cutter might be lower at the rear or front. To fix this, adjust the cutter height and attitude, ensuring the rear and front are within 1/2" of the same height.
