I have a tym273 with the tym belly mower, model tmb-60sh (side discharge). This was just purchased used with about 100 hours. I am very disappointed in the quality of cut. I get a lot of unmowed streaking, especially when turning, and the mower seems to throw out a large amount of unmulched clippings, so much that if they arent raked up they will kill the grass. Looks like the entire length of the grass blade is thrown out without being chopped up at all.
I am comparing this cut to a couple of lawn tractors. I realize the 60" deck on the tym is going to be throwing out more clippings, but I feel like it should be chopping them up more. I am at a loss about what is causing the streaking. Unfortunately the 60" deck isnt saving me any time because I am having to mow over same spots several times to get all the streaks out.
Has anyone had similar problems with the tym mower? I had done some research and found people saying the rear discharge had problems. Also contacted a dealer earlier about buying a new TYM and he had recommended against getting the tym mower but didnt elaborate as to why.
