You don't need to take out your ruler.
Have to disagree, I have a brand new Toro with cutting height adjustments on each wheel but none have any indication whatsoever as to what the cutting height will be......really have never seen a mower that indicates what the the cutting height will be on any adjustment. The last 2 Cub Cadets I owned showed 1-5 on the lever to raise and lower the deck but the numbers had nothing to do with what the actual cutting height would be.  |
I just bought a new Honda mower at John Deere and the cutting heights are next to the wheels. It calibrates eight settings from 1 to 4 inches. I bought it to get the lawn down to 2 inches as my lawn mowing company resisted lowering the setting. They mowed a small section at 2 1/2 inches and the rest at 3 inches this spring. All last year I was trying to get them to cut lower as they had it at 3 1/2 and the Zoysia was piling up on itself and it didn't look good. They resisted all summer and fall. They would show up and mow at the same height as they did all the St. Augustine lawns up north. They don't like to change settings, I pay for push mowing so their mowers will bog down and stall if they let the lawn grow too tall.
