    Question:
    I just purchased an HU800HW walk behind mower. It has the one lever adjustment for the wheels. The problem is that the deck is too low. If I want to cut my grass shorter, the deck catches on the least little rise in the ground. A mole trail, not a mound, will stop the mower because the deck is catching on it and that is with the mower set on level 4. Levels 1, 2 and 3 are not even useable. I purchased this mower with the large rear propelled wheels because I do have a lawn that is not level. Any suggestions on what to do other than leaving the grass 4" tall? Can the blade be lowered? Is there another adjustment on the deck for the level brackets?

    If the mower is placed on concrete, and the wheels are put in the lowest position does the unit roll? If so there is nothing wrong with the mower. The only other solution would to be purchase a mower that is a smaller cut which moves the wheels closer together. Wheels closer together are typically less likely to cause scalping on an uneven yard. There is no provision for lowering the blade.

      Honestly I would take that back to the dealer ASAP, mine works and adjusts great just like it is suppose to.

      Did you get it from a Hus. Dealer or a namebrand store?
