legacy 60" deck

I had several Sunstars with the 60" decks, and I was told that the outer blade chops the grass up better, and also, I did remove the baffle between the second and third blade, install a different belt since you bypass a pulley, and then use a standard blade. Results??? Well, the deck uses less hp, but leaves a streak sometimes between the second and third blade. Less suction to pull the grass up from the right front tire, so I changed the deck back.

I don't know if my experience with the 48" decks (where the blades all turn in one direction) is relevent to your question, but I always had a problem with grass collecting just above the back end of the bar that runs under the outlet opening. It would neatly deposit big clumps of grass at regular intervals all over the lawn. :duh: Very frustrating. It was really bad with older blades (probably less lift) and bad enough with new. I finally took the bar off; That solved the clump problem, but left the deck somewhat weaker. Now that I have 60" decks, that problem is gone. :bannana:
