So you're thinking about a Zero Turn Mower....Thoughts/ tips on Lawn Care, GoPro on a mower?

What happens here

While a consistent high cut is generally recommended for health, minor adjustments can be made based on terrain. For areas with slopes, uneven ground, or rougher grass, setting the mower to a higher cut (e.g., 4.5 inches) can help prevent scalping and protect the mower deck. For very flat, manicured areas, a slightly lower setting (e.g., 3.5 inches) might be aesthetically pleasing, but always prioritize grass health by avoiding overly short cuts.

Goal: Consider varying cutting heights for different parts of the lawn, such as higher for slopes and rougher areas, and potentially slightly lower for perfectly flat, well-maintained sections.
