I do have a mulching blade. I will try a conventional blade and see if it
helps. Thanks

Is the blade sharp?

push the grass over. BTW - if I lower the deck it does a better job,

design? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Is it a conventional blade or a mulching blade? The worst cuts I've
seen have been from a conventional design mower outfitted with one of
the add-on mulching blades. This tends to give a rough cut,
especially in thin grass areas.

A true mulching mower gives a much better result, thats what I use,
but even they tend to have some problems in thinner areas, where they
tend to push the grass over.
