Leaving a section of grass uncut in the middle of swath. Any suggestions?

Are you turning it at PTO speed?

Slow down and or sharpen the blades.

bent blades will cut like that as well

I have reasonably sharp blades. Slowing down improves two things - the ride and the cut.

What model Landpride rotary cutter do you own? Are all 3 blades gear driven, or does it use a belt?

I have a Landpride FDR2584 and if the belt tension isn't set correctly, the center blade doesn't cut properly. The center spindle pulley has the least amount of belt - pulley contact, and is prone to slippage.
