My deck drives me nuts!
Z-Force S 54 with a manufactured deck. Used to use the deck wash system. Water and grass and mechanical things should never be mixed in my opinion. Not sure if it's my type of grass or what but I have to scrape the deck every 2-3 times I mow or its plugged and won't discharge. It will carry the grass under the deck choking and spitting chunks and wads out occasionally leaving a mess on the lawn. I am mowing a hair more than 3 acres. The mower works great when clean. Just frustrated. Any advice besides selling it?

Dry, wet, it just does not matter. Very frustrating. Original blades were high lift. Tried Cub Cadets gator blades. They were no help and did not cut as well. Went back high lifts this spring. If there is a different blade to be tried- by all means let me know. Have a lot of clover in the grass. Some say that is an issue. Never had a mower which had to be scraped out so often. I have filled 2- 5 gallon pails with grass scrapings before. And that is after 4-5 mowings. Thinking about spraying 2-4-D to nuke the clover as a last ditch effort. Otherwise, the mower is going.

Odd that this thread should come up right now.
With so much rain lately I have had the same problems, and I'm not about to wait until August for the grass to be dry enough to mow. My question is: Has anyone ever used "Slip Plate" on the underside of their deck/s with good results? Sorry to hi-jack your thread.

Gaters are good on dry grass and fantastic for mulching leaves .
I use regular blades on wet grass, as it tends to throw the grass out better. I just finished moving and scraped 3 aluminum scoop shovels from my deck, Chickens love it but not me. I scrape the deck after every mowing. It is easy for me as I have an air operated chain hoist I got 3" or rain Y day so it is wet even standing water in a lot of places. Deere Deck same way. nature of the beast I figger. No problems in hot dry August.

Did you try and mow at a higher setting? I understand you with all the rain you have to mow when you can.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
