I have a 6' finish mower I bought used. It had Gator blades on it that worked OK but they were beat and one was bent. I purchased new blades but got the gator 3-in-1 blades. Supposedly the 3-in-1 blades are for mulching, bagging or side dischage. I side discharge. My problem is I now get stipes of uncut grass. I did raise the blades to give me about a 4" cut instead of aobut 2". I also noticed the new blades had a cutting edge only on the outer quarter of the blade. The cutting edge on the old blades was from the tip to the center of the blade. Third thing was I didn't pay attention to the blade orientation when I removed the old blades. When I put the new ones on I set them about 90 degrees from eachother so they wouldn't hit. Any suggestions on fixing the stiping problem?
