@@theSuburbiaDad How is low deck setting mistake doing?
It’s coming back. Slowly. We’ve been getting rain and cooler temperatures. I think it will bounce back nicely. 😅
Why do you keep the back so low and not at max tire PSI? Why front so high?
The recommended PSI on the manual I have says…
Back tires 9 to 11 PSI.
Front tires 38 to 46 PSI.
I imagine it helps with deck heights and pitching because Ariens engineered it around that tire tolerance. 🤷♂️
Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@theSuburbiaDad oh lol bought my used, so no manual. Might need to find a copy of that lol.
@@davidrampone I got you…. pdf.lowes.com/operatingguides/751058045108_oper.pdf
@@theSuburbiaDad thanks!
@@theSuburbiaDad I did the psi the way the manual says and leveled my deck today. Do the back tires seem very low to you at 11 PSI? I feel like if I push hard enough I can pop them lol.
I leveled and pitched mine today with it set at 4.5 inches. When I put it down to 4 inches the level was off by more than I had adjusted it to at 4.5 but the pitch seemed to be the same. So I leveled it again at 4 inches and it seemed closer as I lowered it down. But was off by a little more at 4.5 inches. Have you experienced this? And if so have you found a best height to level it at?
Couple questions… Check tire pressure first? Measuring blade height, not deck?
@@theSuburbiaDad got the tires set good before I started. I also used the same tool that you did. I got the front set good at 4.5 and when I was raising one side of the back I got to a point where it started messing with that side of the front. So I started over when that happened.
@@rickjames1246 I like to set my pitch between 3 and 4 inches when I do it. I start on the front and then back for each side. Then switch sides. I do chute side first. Preference I suppose. Make sure height tool is on cutting tip edge of blade. Mine slips off sometimes because it is so close to the edge of the blade. Let me know what happens. Try to set front at 3. Back at 3.25ish.
@@theSuburbiaDad when you set it at that height, have you ever rechecked it at 4 or 4.5 just to see if it is still the same? I got mine currently adjusted to 4 in the fronts and around 4.25 to 3/8 in the backs.
That would work! As long as there is a pitch within 1/2… you should be golden!
What kind of blades are you running?
I made the low deck mistake yesterday 🤦🏾
At the time of the video, I was trying Copperheads. I’ve seen swapped back to factory blades. I’ll give the Copperheads another run before I make my final opinion.
You scalped it too! 😂 How far did you go before you noticed?
Thanks for watching.
@@theSuburbiaDad about 15’ in my front yard
😳 Well, I suppose you could have cut it all at the wrong height. So, you win!
