Hi, I have a 42" YTS3000 and it doesn't seem to cut clean.
The discharge side also seems to not cut as well as the trim side.
I have my own hard and a few others I maintain, and there is a good mix of Bahia.
To get a clean cut I end up having to go very slow, and almost doubling back over my last cut essentially making this a 21" riding mower.
I've checked the spindles and they are not broke, the belt is tight and not worn. The blades are sharp.
I would like to increase the RPM to increase blade speed, but the throttle is all the way up (will choke out if I go any higher)..
I'm going to pull the deck and inspect it. There may be some buildup of clippings on the underside of the deck, which I had happen with my old mower.
Anything else I should look for?
I'll admit, I have talked to other pros who do this for a living and have huge $10K zero turn mowers, and they say they can't get a clean cut on Bahia either.. So maybe I shouldn't complain.
