Mo-Deck review, works OK
Here's
a view of my mower deck. Its now had several Mo-Deck treatments. When I review
where the grass sticks to the deck, Mo-Deck seems to help keep clear the high velocity
regions under the mower deck. There still is a build up in front of the right blade
where the grass must impact with tremendous velocity. But even here this deposit
does tend to "chunk" off more frequently by itself after several treatments of
Mo-Deck. Where there are low air velocity areas there tends to still be some build
up, but, I do see large chunks of grass actually falling off while I mow. I'd say
that was a rare site before I started using this product.
As you can probably see this is a well used mower deck. In fact recently I've had
to do several major repairs. I replaced both spindles and most recently I repaired a
major safety problem. My mower deck blades wouldn't disengage. Please review
my article regarding this important safety repair
of my mower deck.
Yes my mower deck has some rust for sure. Even so it seems the Mo-deck does
prevent grass build up to unpainted surfaces. I can't say what it would do on a
brand new well painted deck. But I can also just about guarantee that any paint will
soon were off a well used mower deck.

You do have to give Mo-deck a chance
So in this review I've found Mo-Deck worth a try. And as the instructions say you
do have to give it a chance by applying multiple coats over time. When I first read
this I was thinking what better way to sell me more product than to say it won't work very
well until you've used it several times. But it does appear to be true.
There definitely still is some sticking.
Here's my homemade service ramp. Took some guts at first to drive up it. I
tried to drive the mower up without me on it. Nope, it needs the ballast (me)!
This setup makes it a little easier to service the blades and clean the deck without
removing it. Mo-Deck is far from perfect but it does help and if there is a trend it
does appear more applications make it better. I'll let you know, I'll keep using it
next season.
Well I hope this brief review of Mo-Deck helps you make up your mind. If you wait
till the end of next season I should have an update.
