Default what causes this?

Refresh my memory, please: on a big twin blade mower, what is the problem
when there is an uncut strip in the middle of the deck as the mower goes
along.

Seems like it has to be either one or both blades shorter than it/they
should be.

The tips of my blades are the first to dull, so (in the case of dual blade
mowers) dull tips could cause an unmowed 'strip' to appear in the rear view
mirror.

Clean under the deck.

Scrap all of the grass that is sticking to the top of the deck off.

This will help with AIRFLOW. Airflow is needed under the deck at all times
to allow the blades to lift the grass up.

When you look at the blade flat and look at the from one of the ends, it
kinda looks like this _____/

The / on the blade is just as important as the sharpening of blades. This I
call the meat of blade.

If their is no meat on the blade, The blade is useless because their is no
lift.
