See.... That's what I don't get The front is actually more flat than the back Maybe it will is different type of grass ?
That could be.
I would just go up a half inch.
Try it for 2 cuttings worse thing that can happen is you don't like it and drop it back down.
That BB is giving you a great looking cut!!! I agree with user Carscw that another half inch(cut at 2.5") will make it look even better and if you get a stripe kit try 2.5"....then try 3" and you'll have a cut that will make the wife happy!!
