Yes. I'll look into those. Thanks.

Not my experience. The Gators do a better job on both my X758's 60" deck and my Rogue's. I may well be an outlier though, because on my 7 acres there is a huge mix of different types of foliage, including bluegrass, quack/crabgrass, dandelions, creeping charlie, etc.

That hasn't been my experience that Gator blades lead to grass build-up under the deck. I've had Gator blades on my x758 since about 2017 and on the Rogue since the beginning in 2021. My Rogue hardly ever has build up. Of course I never mow when the grass is wet.

This thread isn't about leveling the deck. Not sure how that has become a focus. The only reference to 'level' previously was about front-to-back tilt where someone suggested there shouldn't be any.

Sure. But my issue isn't a 'level' cut, it is uncut/poorly cut strips of grass where the blades meet.

Yes, tire pressures are at spec. How would tire pressures affect cut quality?

Can't measure the blades super accurately while still on the spindle and trying to reach under the deck, but I think the Gator blades on currently are just barely over 24". Maybe 24 and 1/16". There is at least 1/4" clearance at any location between the blades and the deck baffles or sides...

I don't know. The Rogue is the only mower I've had with two tanks and mine are linked. Works great for me. As for the 'bust one of the tanks' problem... well, almost every other piece of equipment out there only has a single tank so that seems like a pretty unlikely situation to consider twin...

Reading this thread and wondering... Do some models really come with a 3-way valve that the user has to change to switch tanks? On my 2021 Rogue it has two tanks but they seem linked because fuel is consumed from both and I don't have to do anything. Wouldn't it make more sense that there are...

Do you know what the blade length should be for a BB 72" deck?

OK. I can level the deck front-to-back and give that a try.

I should also note that this issue has been present since the unit was brand new in 2021. And I did work with the dealer and Bad Boy quite a bit in the beginning. They even got me a set of the non-yet-released adjustable caster position mounts which BB eventually moved to as standard to allow...

Wide F'n open throttle. Mowing speed doesn't really have any effect for me unless I'm virtually crawling along. Any normal mowing speed gives me these results.

This has happened since brand new, with the new OEM blades and the new Gator G6 blades. So wear can be taken out of the picture. I may look into the 24.5" option. Thanks.

That's part of what I was wondering. Mine don't appear to move because I always clock them to not meet (stock size blades which wouldn't touch anyway) and when I remove them to sharpen they are never meeting. But I can see the potential risk.
