Do not trust the height shown on your zero turns settings!!! Or walk-behind, or push mower for that matter.

So - After the 4 house stop where I scalped the grass while mowing the lawn in a couple of places, I began to suspect the deck height setting was not accurate. The 'big house' stop I mentioned is where I really began to think the deck was really set much lower than 3.5". Dre was cutting the front and I was cutting the back...where are sections of the lawn butted up to each other I thought to myself, "I'm cutting 1.5" lower than he is!"
I was right! Dre had actually raised the walk-behinds deck to 4" for some reason, and once I measured the actual height the zero-turn was cutting at, it was in fact 2.5". There was literally a 1.5" difference in the height from the front yard to the back yard. Since it was all weeds...it didn't really matter too much.
Only one lawn that had nice grass was scalped by yours truly while I was mowing all week. I still hate scalping anything because this is not good for the blades, spindles, belts, or anything else for that matter!
The key takeaway from today's video (not even really mentioned at all in the video!):
Consider how the lawns you are currently cutting make you appear to potential future customers. I had no idea Billy was cutting so many 'crappy' lawns. This is obviously my opinion, but so many of the houses I cut this week almost seemed vacant because of how poor of shape the lawn, landscape, and patio areas were.
I am not saying my company didn't cut a lot of properties like these too. I'm just saying if you want to care for nice properties you need to attract some customers with nice properties and do high-quality work each week to keep them!
I'd much rather cut grass than weeds, wouldn't you?
