Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Slow ground speed of tractor but keep
engine running at full PTO rpm.
Cutting lower will help. Adjust tractor
tire spacing if possible.
Sharpen or replace blades.
Reduce ground speed but maintain
540 rpm at tractor PTO, or make two
passes over material. Raise mower
for the first pass and lower for the
second and cut at 90 degrees to first
pass. Raise rear of mower high
enough to permit material to
discharge, but not so high that
conditions listed above occur.
