[QUOTE="Mr.Glock, post: 4019873, member: 32877"] Time to change fluids and thought I would toss on a set of blades. Knew I needed them. Here is where it went sideways, I have owned, remodeled, and built several homes. This one we have kept as a place to come back to from travel and between homes we used to remodel/build. It has the widest soil I have ever seen. All the other homes and even our Farms don’t have soil like this, it is dark and rich but when it is dry, you cannot stick a shovel in it, when it’s wet it digs almost like sand! So the mower deck cuts the grass gets a little moisture or if I mow when it’s a little damp, it sucks the dust up and with even just the moisture of the grass being cut it will pack the deck like concrete. The only way to keep the deck clean is pull it up on RR Ties with a sprinkler staked good into the ground and let the mower run while the sprinkler soaks and helps clean it. A Big Ass Pain in the Ass! We moved back into this home between Choctaw and Harrah and I had taken the RR Tie mower ramp apart and did not use it at the end of of last summer and mowing a few times this year has done what you see in the photos! Any of you with Zero Turns have soil that does the same thing? Anyone have their decks pack up bad? I Jacked up the mower and take a steel scraper to it and get this pile. I guess the pile to be around 30 to 40lbs worth.
