Snapper poor cut quality
I have a snapper lawn tractor Mod# LT14H411KV. I used it twice this season. The two time I have used it, its not cutting evenly. I made sure that all my tires have same psi. What else should I look at?
Great forum..
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Have you checked the deck adjustment, or looked for unlevel deck due to possible damage?

Just try parking it on a hard surface like a sidewalk or pavement, and measure each corner edge down to the ground.

Also check and make sure the mandrels are actually turning smoothly- if one mandrel isnt turning fast enough, it could also cause an uneven cut.

Excellent point DT. Hey! What about Mandrel bearings going out? That could cause uneveness too, don't you think?
