Mismatch cut.
When a mismatch condition occurs the blade tip height should be checked.
It the blade tip height is different, the blades will cut at a different height and the grass will be uneven.
Another quality of cut problem is striping.
Striping can be caused by the mower blades being sharpened too much that the actual blade length is shorter.
This causes a small line of uncut grass to be left between the blades
Inconsistent height of cut.
An inconsistent height of cut can be caused by the cutting deck not staying at the proper height.
The 300 series Groundsmaster has a float position on the cutting unit raise/lower lever. The lever must be in
float while the unit is mowing. If the lever is not in the float position, the cutting unit may not follow the contour of
the ground.
