One side of rotary cutter does not cut well

I have an older John Deere 14 foot pull type rotary cutter. I don"t have the model number, but it is not heavy duty and does not fold up. Both blades are equally sharp, yet one side cuts much better when clipping fescue pasture. One side makes a clean cut and the other wallows the grass down. I am pulling it with a Ford 7400 at 2000 rpm. Any idea why one side cuts better than the other?
Thanks,
Charles
 
might be a dumb question but do you have a wrong set of blades on sharpened on the wrong side? mowers I used to sell had right a left handed blades just a thought cnt
 
I'm glad you didn't call your John Deere rotary cutter a bush-hog
A lot of people think every rotary cutter is a bush-hog.

Back in the 50's-60's JD called them Gyramor. This model lists CW & CCW blades
727 and 737 Rotary Cutter, Gyramor - 01Jun11
 
I know of an instance where a gear head was
replaced incorrectly which caused it to rotate in
the wrong direction.Cutting on the back of blade.
 
Thanks,yes I remember now, it is a gyramor 737. I put a decal on it several years ago, and it wore off. John Deere has a zero turn mower with the same model number which does not help looking up things.One blade does turn cw and the other ccw. It works fine when cutting low, but one side drags over fescue when cutting high.
 
That's because they defined the segment, like Vice-grip with locking pliers, Bobcat with skid-steers, Cat with crawlers, IHC (payloader) with front-end-loaders, and Channellock with tongue-and-groove-joint pliers.
