My riding lawn mower (Bolens 12hp with side discharge and collection unit in
back) has begun leaving a small trail of grass in the cut path. The mower
deck has two blades (recently sharpened). The small trail of grass is left
in the middle of the cut path. All mechanical functions on the deck and
mower appear to be running as designed. Does anyone have a clue what might
be causing this?

Are you sure you put the same blade on the same side that it came off?

My neighbor's rider had this problem a couple times. It was either a blade
that had bent, or the deck, both from rubbing the tailgate of his truck,
during transport. It also may be that one blade wasn't sharpened properly
at the end.

Can a storm be officially designated as a tornado without touching down at
a trailer park?

Grass trails is a good indication your blade needs sharpening

You sharpened your blades too many times. Every time you sharpen a blade it
gets a little bit shorter. After awhile, you will start seeing the line when
you make a turn, then it will get worse so that there is a line even going
straight.

BUY NEW BLADES.

The others who answered are idiots.
