John,

I have the Ferris which is a bigger version of your Citation. Yours should have the same style fabbed-deck. Bought my for the same reason, suspension for a broken tail bone.

I have the 72" deck, which the grass has a long way to get out the other side to the chute.

I mow at 3" in some pretty heavy and wet grass (clover) and rarely have I ever plugged up. If it does it is from clumping. I run at full throttle 10 or 12mph. Just slow down a little and the mower can still handle all the cut grass.

The under side of my deck built tight around all the blades.

Two things I could suggest.

1. Raise the deck (as already mentioned)
2. Don't wait to let the grass get too long before you cut. You should only be cutting 1/3 of your grass off at a time. If the gator blades helped, they chop up the grass finer, mulching blades. Thats what makes me think maybe you are cutting too much at once.

If that don't work, I am stumped.

Post back with an update.
Rick
