Last couple of years I used the 3rd notch on the deck height adj. This year I need to use the 4th notch and it even seems lower . What am I missing

You counting notches from the front of the quadrant or the back?

 

Generally, moving the lever towards the back of the deck raises the blades.

 

I'm working from memory here, so I might be mistaken.

Check for wear in the mower wheel bearings.  Check the air pressure in the tractor tires.  Check for wear on all the parts that mount the deck.  Be sure that the blades are of the correct design, and that they are properly sharpened.  Set the transport height per the owners manual.  Level the deck using the owners manual for it.

Make sure the blades are not installed up-side down.

Been there - done that.
