Help Me Cut My Grass

I've been putting up with something that is beginning to irritate me.
I have a 42" rider.  The mower-wheels are in from the spread of the
deck.  As a result, as I cut a path, the front wheels 'mat' the grass
some - enough that the cutting-blades do not cut the as they go over
the 'matted' grass.  As a result, I look back and I always see a, say,
4" swath, that I then have to  make a second cutting trip over a
slightly different path so the wheels do not 'mat' the same grass
again, and then the blades do cut that grass.

Anyone experience this? And if so, do you have a trick to avoid this
aggravation?

Dumb question, huh?

Go on a diet - lose weight - and put wider tires on the front with lower air
pressure.

You can also try new blades with higher lips to lift the grass up better.

Be careful not to weed-wack your walnut tree too, right Sarge?
