You have the wrong blades installed - they are just a tad too short for your application and leave that trail of uncut grass down the middle. I had the same problem until I bought a set of blades that were 1/4" longer.

How you know when to change lawn mower blades?

Not necessarily when to change; but when to sharpen mower blades: The easiest way to know is by observing the way the grass is cut. A sharp blade will make a "clean cut" on the grass blades, whereas a dull blade will "tear" the grass and leave a "ragged" appearance. As far as when to change out the blades, there is no set time interval, you just have to visually evaluate the condition of the blade (bent, badly worn, warped, etc.) to determine when to change. If your mower uses 2 blades, it would be wise to change both blades at the same time.


Is it bad to leave lawn clippings on you're grass your husband and you argue over this all the time?

I actually leave the clippings, but I have a mulching blade on my mower which cuts up the grass a little finer that non-mulching blades. If you have a mulching blade and leave the grass cuttings they just decompose but if not and you leave too much, it could cause some issues, more thatch, etc.


What is scalping in turf grass?

Scalping in turf grass is caused by :- (a) Setting the height of cut too low and removing too much of the grass blades as you cut. This can leave the the lawn looking straw coloured as if it had been scorched. (b) Removing most, or all of the grass blades on raised areas of the lawn as you mow over them even if the height of cut is correctly set for the majority of the area.


Why does my mower leave clumps of grass after cutting the lawn?

Why does your riding mower leave an uncut strip down the middle?

probably center blade on deck is jambed, or blade is broken and or missing I am having the same problem with may 42" Scott's riding mower. The blades are new (there are only 2 blades , no center blade) and are installed properly. The belt is also new and installed properly. The uncut middle area is more predominant in thicker or taller grass. In the center of the front of the mowing deck is a roller (to keep the deck from bottoming out ) which may be causing the grass to flatten and not be cut. If anyone else has had this problem and has a solution I would be interested in it.


Why does my Murray 12hp 38 inch cut riding mower leave patches of unmowed grass behind?

One of several reasons: (1) the blades need sharpening; (2) you are trying to mow at a higher speed than is required; (3) one or both blades are installed upside down; (4)one or both blades are bent. My best guess is (1) and/or (2).


Why does my mulching lawn mower leave a trail of grass behind it?

A mulching lawn mower may leave a trail of grass behind for several reasons, including dull blades that fail to cut the grass cleanly, resulting in larger clumps of clippings. Additionally, mowing when the grass is too wet or tall can lead to clumping, as the clippings stick together instead of being finely chopped. Finally, the mower's discharge design might not be effectively dispersing the clippings, leading to visible trails. Regular maintenance and proper mowing conditions can help alleviate this issue.
