Have a Simplicity zero turn 48 inch Champion XT with the welded deck. Works well in dry grass but wants to build up over time, the blades pack the grass up into the front wrap around guard if grass is even the slightest bit wet. If engine is brought to idle with the blades on then some of the grass falls into the blades and almost kills the engine, make another round and clear it again. Am tempted to cut away the contoured guard so there's no place for grass to build up. Dealer says to just throttle back when mowing, it did help but not much. Also wonder if deck was cleaned and slip plate coating would do any good? This has been a really wet year, I've had others having mower issues too. Is there any deck design that works well with wet grass?
