If those stripes of taller grass are left from you coming back in the opposite direction from the previous pass, it would seem to be a tilted deck and a level issue. If they are all from going in the same direction it could still be a level issue. Are you measuring the deck or the blade tips...

I would also suggest you verify the deck pitch and level is correct. If you have the correct blades, and the correct tire pressure, then the only thing left is air flow. Air flow is controlled by the deck being level and the front to back pitch is correct.

put it back to normal. You will never forgive yourself if your wife, kid or grand child gets hurt when you are not around or busy doing something else. And if someone gets hurt the liability factor can be overwhelming. Now that you posted your question there is public record of you wanting to...

can you drop the deck down on to (4) 2 x 4's ( one in each corner ) to check to see if the deck is twisted or bent? If it's twisted one corner will not make contact with the 2x4.

Those units came with a mid-range setting. Your are suppose to have threads in the adjustment left over for minor correction.. You are at the extreme end with no threads left tells me you need to take the deck off and start over. You have something wrong in the mounting. You never should run...

Several good choices out there for replacement mower blades. If you are wanting a Gator G3 blade, I assume mulching your grass is a goal. My experience with Gator blades was great, in they cut very well, stayed sharp and had additional lift. The down side is they really pulverize the clippings...

There are a lot of used ZT's and tractors listed on Facebook Market Place that are in your area that should meet your performance requirements and fit your budget. Craigslist might work out for you as well.

If you are set on the Kubota Z231, you might want to reconsider the 48" deck as it will give you a wider trim capability thus less rutting in tight spaces.

I do not have my 2019 Conquest any longer but I remember a time when I took the deck completely off ( it's a beast ) and then reinstalled but in doing so I noticed I could accidentally get something in the linkage flipped. ( at the rear of the deck... don't remember more detail) but from what...

What about a front mount Walker ZT. Might be worth a look! Lots of features.

I would recommend you go to 4 or 5 different models and take a look. There are differences that become more obvious the more you compare models. Think about the little things that make a difference in comfort and reliability. Is the plastic going to hold up? Are the controls easy to locate and...

you might be benefited with the addition of a de-thatcher to pull the dead material loose so it can be swept. Or you could consider a plug aerator and just pull plugs and let them decay and go back into the soil as they do.

It's impossible to help you with so little information provided. Explain what happened in detail and provide make and model numbers and someone may be able to give you some direction.

I can tell you my Simplicity Courier XT which is a Ferris 500S with orange paint is a fine machine and works well for me on my 1-acre property. It cuts great and is easy to maintain. I'm sure a 2200 is a better built machine with more features and built for to take more abuse. Good luck.

It sounds like it was all about the belt routing. somehow it must have been installed incorrectly. There should be a belt diagram available on-line or from one of those dealers to look at.

For my Simplicity, I just went to Home Depot and bought a small piece of flexible aluminum....cut to size and made a bend...and attached with 2 L-brackets. took 1/2 hour.

Talk to your dealer and order a correct replacement switch. Don't go looking for trouble. Someone else is depending you doing the right thing!
