mower deck clumping

17 years ago

I have a 2007 John Deere X500 with the standard 48" side discharge deck with regular blades. Every time i mow at a setting lower than 3 inches I always get grass clipping clumping all over the lawn. I mow when its dry and don't cut more than a 1/3 of the blade length off. The blades are sharp and it doesn't happen if mowing at a tall height such as 4 inches, but now I want to mow short before winter and don't want to bag or lawn sweep. Has anyone else had this issue and if so were you able to correct it? There is some grass debris build up under the deck but not a lot and the deck is level. Does anyone have either the dedicated mulching deck or the mulch kit and I'm interested in how that works as compared to the side discharge deck? Thanks for you help.
