Mowing with a 50"
Not to sound dumb but, how do you mow with a 50" deck and make it look good? With my 44" I put the front tire on the edge of the grass to be mowed. I tried to move over and not overlap. I would like to take advantage of the full width of the 50". I also mow down and back. I like my lawn to look nice. Any tip would be great!

I think that the cut depends on the set up on the deck. I have a 50C I got with my 1882 that cuts great. Looks like a golfcourse. The deck that I got with my 1862 cuts a LOT differently. Upon closer look the wheels are set up in different holes and the hangers in the front were deeper in the deck. The deck had a pronounced forward tilt to it, much more tilt than the other one. I think that had a lot to do with the different cut.
When I cut grass I pretty much overlap by about 3-4 inches. I don't know if any of that makes sense but its the only thing that I could come up with to explain the difference.

I cut the grass today and I actually payed attention to my overlap: I line up the gauge wheel just to the outside of the lane of grass that I will cut and keep my front tractor tire just inside the lane of grass. Hope you can find some thing that works.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
