OK, so I mow lawns for a job. I'm only seventeen, but I have 12 and every now and then it seems like I may have to mow in the wet grass. My mower will, Clog, Shut off, and Leave Skippers. One time I mowed this guys grass while he was on vacation. The one day it was a little wet. I didn't think it looked to bad when I left, but when he came back two days later he saw dead grass and so he raked it which revealed skippers. He was ticked!! What should I do? Are there certain mowers that will NOT leave skippers when it's wet? I think it put small ruts in the yard to.
Also, sometimes my mower will leave skippers even when the grass is dry. And I make sure my blades are sharpened every few weeks.
Are there some Pro lawn people that could help me out here? I have some more questions I think too. lol
Answer
The unfortunate thing is when you have to mow when it's wet. The best thing to do in that case, is to raise the deck at least 2 notches to keep the grass from clogging the mower. You may not be able to prevent skippers, but it may help.
If you are leaving skippers when it's dry, you may be mowing too fast and missing spots. Mowing too fast, especially if you are using a riding mower, will cause skippers.
Edit: It's all well and good to tell this young man not to mow when it's wet - that's common knowledge. However; in practicality that's pretty hard to do when you have a full book of clients that want their lawns mowed. It's not that easy to change days because of rain. Although it's not ideal, every lawn care company that mows, mows in the rain or when it's wet. Unless it's flooded.

Answer
Don't mow grass. Hehe.
Ok, really now, the advice to not mow wet grass is very good. Also, don't let it get too long before you mow. Additionally, you can spray it with something (though the non-stick vegetable spray is a new one on me.) Try some of the teflon spray you can get at the nearby HomeDepot. Lastly, if you are having a lot of trouble, try raising the mower deck a little bit.
