Default Wheels

I understand the use of the anti scalping wheels but that brings up two things. One I am not talking about scalping but uneven mow strips. and two the wheels if set to deep will prevent me from using a much lower setting when I need it. I do cut some areas of my lawn lower than others due to terrain conditions so the anti scalp wheels will not help. I know on bush hogs they usually have four wheels that are adjustable with handy cranks on each wheel but they are the total support of the deck and do not tilt due to a narrow lift system. Don't get me wrong, I like the anti scalp wheels and if you notice that today many of the "Big box" stores mowers no longer have four wheels on the decks. I think this was probablly a cost saving measure or realization that users were setting the wheels to the cutting height desired and not using the lift system as built.
