Another member told me to take the little lip off on the front of the deck. Something about its used for mulching leaves and creates a low pressure spot behind the lip to mulch leaves. Said removal of the lip would allow the grass to be sucked up better and be cut by the machine more.
I removed the lip, and adjusted the deck pitch this weekend. Pitch was 3.5" front blade, 4" rear of blade...so 0.5" pitch. I got it closer to a 1/4" pitch.
Problem is, I mowed with it over the weekend and the striping is not nearly as good as it was. When I first got the mower (2 weeks ago) it striped pretty well, now after my 2 adjustments it does not stripe as well. It still cuts really nice, but the stripes are just not as visible.
Any suggestions?
