What are these hard edges? New to riding a 3 blade 60” zero turn, cut height 2.25, anti scalp wheels set at middle (the 2.5-3.5 height) but it happens at 2.5 cut too. Grass is some type of Bermuda and weeds. I think it’s happening on the edges and not the middle of the deck. The mower has less than 10hrs, everything at factory setting to my knowledge. Ignore my clippings I don’t have time to bag 😂

Maybe the deck is lower on one side?
You have a bent blade, a bad spindle, or your deck needs leveling.
Do your blades overlap? If they do, are they at offset heights? In that case you’ll have to overlap your cuts so the outer blade goes back through the center to knock it down to the same height
Deck isn’t level, scalping on one side.
Cutting too low of a deck height so there’s no green part of the grass plant. It looks like you dropped the deck even lower on half of it as well.
Low tire?
Tire pressures or deck level. If not, bent blade or whacked spindle.
Deck is 3/4” lower on one side, which is disappointing having just bought it from a dealer. I’ll look into deck adjustment in my user manual and go from there.
Thank you all!
A bent blade would also cause that.
You mowed too short
Your reel mower isn’t leveled
Adjust your height. Somethings too low.
