Have a three blade 60" deck on a 2182 Cub Cadet hydro. The 60" deck has wheels at each corner and anti-scalp rollers front and back. The blades need to be sharpened after about five hours of use for a good looking job, and the tractor speed can't be excessive (no faster than you would walk). That may sound like frequent sharpening, but it is usually just a touch-up and doesn't take long. If the blades are dull or the speed is too fast it will start to streak, but I think this is true of any model mowing deck. I mow fairly often so as not to "make hay", and keep the grass about 4". Rotating between three of four different mowing patterns also helps. One other thing to look at is the belt tensions. Make sure they are tight enough so that there isn't a lot of slippage that would reduce the blade RPM's. For a really first-rate job a very sharp reel-type mower is the only way to go.
