I've had two cub cadet lawn tractors that both had the same issue from new. They would leave a ten inch strip half cut from the left side of the deck. I readjusted the deck and more. I finally put one in the factory repair place where they releveled and replaced the blades. Still had the same issue. I finally gave up and bought a new bad boy zero turn and now I get a smooth cut. I believe the original issue is likely due to poor deck design and not fixable.
@@weekendhomeprojects It is. Great cut but I need more practice on using a zero turn mower. I ran it one hour and then it wouldn't restart. Took it to the shop and the brake safety switch came unplugged. It's under the mower behind the deck where you can't see it without lifting up the mower. I think they likely didn't plug it in completely at the factory. It's nice not having to double mow to get a flat cut.
Funny thing is I just bought a brand new bad boy and I'm here with a seemingly random strip being missed on the left side of the deck. Very frustrating.
An overlap issue would occur if you're not lining up your cut right, leaving a strip of uncut grass. I usually line up the uncut grass on the inside of my front tire, which allows for a few inches of overlap i.e. outside blade spinning over already cut grass from the last pass.
Your final last cut picture looks like problem still there. I can see the overlap edges, tough problem to fix especially with a John Deere. This will be my last Deere. A cheap Depot mower works best.
No help have Husqvarna that has never got even no matter what I do never buy another one won't hardly climb small hill spins when on small incline worst mower I ever had
I also have a husqvarna it's the rz5424 and been having uneven/miss strip of grass ever since iv had it also can not handle any incline when you try to turn 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@weekendhomeprojects not absolutely sure lol. my old man had a john deere that was a very good mower. after that he purchased a cub cadet, it mowed well but the rear-end went out after about 4 years. we live in wv and i think his hill just wore it out.
Check your idler tensioners, check your belt, check your spindle bearings, check your spindles and pulleys for damage.... (I'm still hunting the cause of mine... I think it has to do with reduced blade speed)

Great video. I really loved the "mowing too slow" rabbit mower.
Thanks :)

Dang, that’s seems frustrating. Glad you got a different one. I hear the Bad Boys are nice!

Also check spindle. Bearing may be bad
Thanx bro very helpful
YW :)
A Beekeepers Tool is perfect for cleaning under the deck.
Got a link?
Just google beekeepers tool. They are common.
My rider leaves a strip on the right when i turn left
So @ 3:33 you're supposed to have those lines in your grass?
@@taxationistheft2.0 Yeah, those are lines from the tires. That’s normal. But I was ALSO getting a strip that was higher.
Is simplicity owned by Ferris? Because I have a 42 inch Ferris s300 that literally looks the exact same as this mower the only difference is the seat
Simplicity acquired Ferris in 1999. Then Briggs and Stratton acquired Simplicity in 2004. Just recently B&S stopped selling the Simplicity brand.
How do you correct overlap ?
An overlap issue would occur if you're not lining up your cut right, leaving a strip of uncut grass. I usually line up the uncut grass on the inside of my front tire, which allows for a few inches of overlap i.e. outside blade spinning over already cut grass from the last pass.

I also have a husqvarna it's the rz5424 and been having uneven/miss strip of grass ever since iv had it also can not handle any incline when you try to turn 🤦♂️🤦♂️
same here it doesn't matter how much you adjust it,i wish someone would steal my husqvarna, and give me a reason to buy a different brand lol
@@eddalton8530 which brand would you get?

No help at all
Sowwy. Let me know what your issue ended up being.
Check your idler tensioners, check your belt, check your spindle bearings, check your spindles and pulleys for damage....
