zd326 uneven cut
- Thread starter deacondev

I have absolutely no experience with one, but some things are common sense, regardless.
Are both tires at the same/correct pressure?
Did you just get it, or has it just started cutting uneven?
Perhaps one of the Kubota techs on here will chime in.
And, welcome to OTT. Hopefully someone can help you, although it appears that there is much more tractor experience here, than with ZTM's. Where in Va are you?

Like Hodge said, start simple and check tire air pressure and make sure they are holding air. I know on my Toro walkbehind the front caster wheel will be out of air and just by eyeballing the tire it looks full. I've been caught off gaurd too many times and fowled up customers lawns and had to go back and redo them.
Thanks Hodge. I am in Fredericksburg, VA. We are exactly halfway between Washington, DC and Richmond, VA.
K. I live to the west-southwest of you, near Waynesboro and Staunton. If you are familiar with Wintergreen Ski Resort, I am a stones throw from there.

For an even cut with almost any deck start out on a flat concrete floor. Adjust the deck running height by whatever means yours has by measuring between the floor and the bottom of the mower KNIVES at the tips, not the deck edge. I like to measure with the knives parallel to the direction of travel, and then check them 90 degrees to that.
After it is all level, then adjust the deck so that the rear bottom tip of the knife when it is lined up parallel to the direction of travel is between 1/8 of an inch 1/4 inch higher than the front bottom tip. Turn the knives 90 degrees and check again to make sure the deck stayed level side to side.
When doing the initial leveling check all three blades front to back and side to side. this will show you if the deck happens to be bent or sprung. RC
