I have a rck54p23bx deck on my BX and the cut is aweful! I have the factory mulch kit with the factory mulch blades installed.
The cut is Uneven and Leaves stragglers particularly on the outside edges of the deck. The tire tracks are visible until next cut.
Dealer suggestion was to cut at WOT and lower the deck height. I dropped the deck from 3.5" to 3" and increased the engine speed to max with little improvment.
Im going to cut and paste my post from the Gator blade thread so as not to derail that topic:\
I had some time to kill so i mowed part of the lawn.
Done at Wide open throttle (34xx RPM) cut at 3", low range 4 wd. driving very slow
heres a couple pics. notice the uneven cut particularly on the corners. This same lawn was cut with my x540 at a much faster pace with no issues. it came out nice and flat.
Hopefully the pictures will show the problems im having with my cut. I might create a thread just to detail my issues so as not to sidetrack the discussion on gator blades.
In the following picture it looks nice and flat with decent striping, however looking carefully you can see the grooves where the tire tracks are.
Anybody have a solution? This cut is completely unacceptable on a 18K machine!!! a $1800 yard man would cut better.
