Has anyone removed the guards from the pro mower? I mowed about 20 times with the regular deck last year before I got anything stuck in it and then removed the guards and never had a problem after, the pro deck, despite having much smaller guards, seems to be getting a lot more stuck in them. I tried to remove them last year but it looked like I would have to remove a whole lot more than on the regular mowing deck and gave up, after my first mow of the year and getting things stuck in it a couple of times already I guess I need to try it again.
I’ve not removed mine but I’ve not had issues with anything getting stuck in them either.

Have not removed them or needed to remove them. What is getting stuck in them?
Pine cones… literally when I first got it i put a few pinecones in front of it and ran over them to see if it would cut them up… and this happened:
I don’t think it would be too complicated to remove.
Remove those screws holding the guard on and put them back in the screw holes.
From what I remember, I thought the same thing, but the black guard part is smaller than that silver disk attached to the motor with that big bolt in the middle… I wasn’t sure taking that off was a good idea. Would be that or to cut the guard off…
Ah yes, I see what you mean. Totally up to you, but I know some people removed that bolt plate on the M1 to clean the spindle of debris. It should be ok, just put some loctite on it after.
