Greetings;
I have a 2012 Hustler Sport 42" dual blade and find that the grass ejection is not great.. can be clumping even when the grass is dry. About 3 years ago I purchased and installed Gator high lift blades for more air flow through the deck. This helped but the spreading of clippings is still not near what I would have hoped for. I think it may have to do with the type of my grass. I am in the Toronto, Ontario area and the higher elevated areas with what I would call normal Kentucky grass, do pretty good, but the lower lying areas which can be quite wet (not the grass but the underlying soil) have been taken over with what I believe is known as bent grass.. I am told the same type that is used on golf courses. This is a much finer grass, probably with more moisture and just does not spread very well.. spreads un-evenly with some clumping even with the hi-lift blades. Anyone have any comments or experience? I generally cut my grass every 6-7 days, so excessive lenght is not an issue. Also, I keep the deck underside very clean in terms of build-up that could impact this.
Thanks.
