Woods Batwing Mower 2 year Review...Good, bad and Ugly?
What happens here
Adjust the mower's cutting height to be perfectly level to prevent 'scalping' the grass, especially on uneven terrain. This is achieved by adjusting a set nut on the lift arms, ensuring the deck maintains an even plane. Consider opting for solid airplane tires on the mower to avoid punctures when working in rough or thorny conditions. When mowing, particularly on larger properties with straight runs, there's no need to make excessively sharp turns at the end of each row; instead, make a wider turn and then come back to cut the missed spots. Overly tight turns can lead to equipment damage.
Goal: Properly adjust the mower deck for a level cut and understand driving techniques.
