Page 84: Step Cutting
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.3 STEP CUTTING _____________________________________________________ Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one side of a reel than the other or one cutting unit to an- other. This is usually caused by mechanical wear or an incorrect roller or HOC (height-of-cut) adjust- ment. -
Page 85: Scalping
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.4 SCALPING ________________________________________________________ Scalping is a condition in which areas of grass are cut noticeably shorter than the surrounding areas, resulting in a light green or even brown patch. This is usually caused by an excessively low height-of-cut (HOC) setting and/or uneven turf. -
