Cub Cadet 3235 with 44 inch deck

[MikeRush]

I wonder if I were to put Hi-lift blades on that it would stop the debris from coming up through the gaps between the spindles and the deck? So you aren't seeing this on your machine? I'm not having any problems with clogging with the triple bagger on or off. I've taken it back to store and they didn't suggest changing the blades and I assume they didn't change the blades on the deck to hi-lift blades. They did some minor adjustments but they didn't provide much hope that it would fix the problem with the adjustments that they made. They only lowered the front of the deck some which is what Cub had suggested to them to do.

How new is your machine? Of course the correct leveling adjustment is critical. But if what your dealer did didnt fix the problem, I would start working on them to get the 48" deck...
It should be a warranty issue -if the machine is still covered, and your not happy...
When the 44" is setup correctly, its a awesome mulcher and mower. It mulches leaves & sticks so well that I feel a bagger or external powered unit is not needed IMHO. It no doubt saved me the investment on those attachments!!

Get the 48" and be done with it. Thats what I tell those who have a problem with the 44". The weired thing is not everyone has these problems. I picked up a used 48" anticipating a problem but never needed it (its not for sale either)

Since I have the bagger on, they installed the 1 hi-lift blade so I change the other 2 to hi-lift and did not help the problem that I'm having. I wonder if the 44 deck is to small for the mower? Cub technical said something about checking the blade tip speed, I wonder how they do that?
