Is your lawn relatively level? I am not familiar with the deck size of that
mower but large deck mowers tend to scalp the high spots on uneven lawns.

I was looking to replace my old mower with a newer self-propelled 3 in
1 unit. After doing some research I decided on a Toro Recycler. Though
it was a little more than I wanted to spend, after looking into some
of the problems some have had with self-propelled mulchers, I didn't
want to cheap out.

I just purchased a new Toro Recycler yesterday. After mowing(mulching)
I find the grass height to be very uneven. I have tried going slow and
this has not helped. I am overlapping quite a bit and this has still
not corrected the problem. I am forced to mow the lawn twice and it
still does not look near as good as my 14 year old entry level
Craftsman side bagger. I don't think I am doing anything wrong. The
grass is not long when I cut it,(I am only cutting about an inch
off)and I wait until the grass is dry. The deck is also clean
underneath, as well the wheels are all set at the same height. The
only thing I can see is that either the blade is dull(new?), or the
design is no good (not enough lift). I don't think that is the problem
as no one else seems to be complaining about this highly rated mower.

If the blade is not the problem, I may upgrade to the Super Recycler,
but I don't want to waste my time or my Toro dealer's if this unit is
not any better.

I may have to go back to bagging it which is unfortunate as the
recycler seemed to do a grat job of mulching.
