Okay, so new guy here. Up until the last year or so ago, my theory on mowing was, "If it's low, it good to go". But, then I started taking an interest in my lawn and how tall I should cut my grass. So, with that being said, I try to keep my fescue around 4" because, well...it just looks better oddly enough than when I cut it at 3.5". So, as a favor to my father-in-law, I sold him my riding lawn mower that I knew was set to cut at 4" at the highest deck setting (I broke out a ruler to verify it) and moved on to a zero turn. This mower as well said that the maximum height cut was 4". I was going to trust the numbers provided by the manufacturer, but just couldn't let it go. So, into the garage I went and pulled out my trusty ruler. On the highest setting, it read 5" to my surprise.
So here's the dumb question part: When I engage the blades, do they get lower, or am I missing something? They do not appear to get lower, nor do I intent on trying to "get close" with the blades moving.
Sorry for the stupid question, I'm still learning the wise ways of the mow.
Thanks!
