Is that red clover you are mowing? Looks like it should have been baled for hay. Could have made a little money selling it to horse owners.:laughing:

is that what they call it? lol
that stuff is wet when cut and makes the clippings stick to the deck.

I think you're cutting it too low. Try raising your deck to 4 foot (letter Z)

I hope you got the message across ! LOL

I've mowed that sort of thing several times. The clover gets whipped into a nice goo for sure. I love the wall of salad flying out of the chute though.

Looks like your blowing clippings into uncut grass...blow them into the cut area and it should become putting green quality cut....lol!

It looks like red clover from the photos. Clover is very hard to cut with a lawn mower. Red clover and white clover are cool season perrenial plants that grow very fast and have a high moisture content. Red clover does really make a good hay for horses, and cattle. It makes horses slobber quite a bit, but it is a high quality hay. I joked about you baling it, but if you had access to a drum mower or a sickle mower (and a hay baler) you really could make a profit off of it if you baled it.

It is nice of you to make excuses for the Raptor SD, but those of us who own one know they are a faulty mower. Should have been able to mow and bale this beautiful lawn, but it did a poor job of it. No excuses.
