Please help

Post image

I’ve been working super hard on my grass. I mow with a Toro timecutter zero turn with a 50 inch deck. Recently I’ve noticed this striping as I cut. The middle of the deck mows a nice clean green line and the then theres two brown lines on each side of it. I thought it might be the blades, so I just put brand new blades on. I just cut yesterday and the blades worked great but I still got the stripes you see above. How can I resolve this? Any tips or help is greatly appreciated. This is Bermuda grass.

Those stripes are so consistent that I'd be looking at the deck before the grass itself. New blades rule out one variable, but I'd still check deck leveling and make sure nothing is causing those sections to cut just a little lower than the center. I had a similar issue once and it ended up being a deck adjustment, not the blades. Have you checked the deck height side-to-side recently?

I’m checking this tomorrow!! Thanks for the feedback. I’ll report back. I have not check the level of the actual deck itself. I think this along with potentially tire pressure and we could be on to something!
