How do you gauge the cutting swatch when riding the mower? :confused:

To what lateral point do the blades extend? How can you tell from the top where the blades reach to? :rolleyes:

Is there a visual gauge to go by when riding, or is it just trial and error and experience? :confused3:

I bought this tractor used and didn't get a manual with it. :thumbsup:

You could measure from the outer edge of the deck to the edge of the blade and mark the deck with tape or paint. Do both sides if you like.

I think that after mowing a time or two you'll be able to tell where to run your front tires in relation to the path already mowed with no problems.
