RCK54P23BX grass on top of deck and everywhere else it can lodge

[Jeff H]

There are posts on TBN about grass buildup under the mower, adjustment and cut quality issues, but I have no problems with any of those issues.

What I would like to know if there is a solution for is the grass that winds up everywhere, bunched up on top of the deck, on the operator floor mat, and jammed up underneath wherever it can find a place to get jammed.

I just did my start of season filter and fluid change, and did a thorough power wash and underneath cleaning to start off the summer.

And the first cut of the year leaves it covered in grass again!

I have the RCK54P23BX with the stock blades, I do not have the factory mulch kit installed. I have a home made OCDC that I leave in the down position most of the time.

Even with the chute covered, the deck puts out a strong stream of air several feet from the deck. I would think that would carry the grass away from the tractor?

Probably "just the way it is" but I figured I was worth bringing it up in case someone has a solution.

I use a leaf blower after each use to get the grass clipping off the tractor, deck, wheels, etc. yea they do get everywhere. Then blow the driveway and walkways off, it is just part of the job of cutting the grass for the week.

I bought an electric on to blow off the deck on my massey. 3$ at a yard sale and I don't have to blow off the walks, the cord is to short. :cool2:

I also use the leaf blower which does get the bulk of it off. But the grass still finds plenty of places to pack into underneath.

Ain't that the truth... I even hit the cars and boat cover when I'm done.
