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.
Maybe I will get a Honda next time, didn't know they had this but then they are probably the best out there, only mower I've seen that says it is the cutting height, would have thought Cub Cadets might have had it too...
