I've got a 1046 with only about 30 hours on it. I'm using it to cut about half an acre of TIF Bermuda around my house.
I'm having an odd problem, and not sure what to do.
When I mow, it always leaves "scalped" areas and lines. By that I don't mean it's gouging into the dirt, I mean that everytime I make a pass, the left side seems to cut lower than the right, so there's like a ledge or difference in height where the left side of the new pass meets the right side of the last pass. (boy I hope this makes sense!)
I've had the deck leveled by the local small engine repair shop, and it looks level to me while sitting on the concrete slab of the barn.
I'm wondering if I should take the anti scalp wheels off?
I mow very short, the deck is set on the absolute lowest setting, so the wheels are usually rolling on the ground, and I'm wondering if the contours on the ground are causing one side to lift up as it passes over a bump or high spot causing the other side to to dip. Should those anti scalp wheels be on the ground?
The yard is reasonably smooth, but it's not perfect.
Does anyone out there have any experience or ideas about this?
The yard slopes gently down away from the house, and I mow in circles around the house, each time getting farther away and always throwing the grass in the same direction.
Any tips would be appreciated.
