Been told the blades spin so fast on these Hustlers that it will pack in the dirt. Told me a lot of the commercial guys back them on the ramp with a sprinkler under it for a few minutes. That is what I did with the RR Ties. I am going to see if one of the water hose washers will fit. It should help some. One guy I know says mow right after a ran if you get build up, says it cleans them up! Hmmmmmm!
Oh yea, if it’s hard as old concrete, I have an air chisel with a very dull tip makes very short work of it.
I think our hired hand that handles the majority of our mowing mows enough gravel and other things that aren’t meant to be mowed that it keeps the bottom of the deck clean. That’s why I said majority above. He’s not allowed to mow any area near my house, vehicles, chicken coops or batting cage anymore.
We have a 60" bad boy ZT. This blow sand doesn't collect anywhere. I do have to replace the fusion blades every two years as they erode to a flat blade. The lift in the rear gets ate away.
I have a Hustler Fastrak 48" that collects dirt and grass like that. I don't know how much my soil has to do with it. The dealer I bought it from will no longer sell the 48 due to this problem.
I have been able to improve it by widening the chute and keeping air in tires at 10 psi.
Try this.
It won't help with heavy abrasion from soil but it'll keep wet grass from sticking.

Mine does the same thing. Why do you think the tire air pressure helps? I haven’t tried that.
Don't fret, it's either silycone or treflon spray.
Interesting! I am assuming it is a design error on the deck configuration. I like the mower as I have wore out Grasshoppers and Cub Cadets as well.
