Mower leaves strip

[bturner032002]

My push mower was doing this when i pulled it backwards so i sharpened and balanced the blade and it cuts better than new

Same here when running a high lift blade, I think it folds the grass over prior to being cut more noticeable in taller grass. Not a problem with med-high lift.

did the med lift blades totally get rid of the strip? Or did it still leave a little bit of the strip?

Nothing, perfect flat cut and the high lift blades are sharper so theres something about that blade, could be the deck is not tuned to it. not sure if this will help ya just what I notice with my ZTR mower. If all else fails swap the blade for a lower pitch, stock blade for that mower?

My local dealer near me only had mulching blades. So I tried them and it is no longer missing any strip. Thank you so much for the help. Saved me a lot of stress
