My favorite lawn tractor, the Cub Cadet 2135, had four wheels on the 38" mower deck, one at each corner, as well as a wide roller on the front. Since plastic wheels are a one dollar item to manufacturers, wonder why all decks don't have that many wheels?
The new Toro Zero Turn TimeCutter 42" deck has only two wheels, at the front corners. The Toro does a very good job and during mid-to-late summer, I cut at 3.5", so then scalping is only a problem on a very few hills and dips.
During the spring and early summer, the lawn grows faster, so I usually cut it at 3". Does anyone think adding two rear wheels and a front roller (maybe even a roller in the rear also?) would give a more even cut on a lawn with many waves and hills?
