Leaf Mulching
Pros
Cons
Angle Sail Blade
Recommended in most
applications
Recommended for thick
or lush turf
May work well in lush turf
Recommended for use
with the mulching baffle
Even discharge at lower
height of cut. Cleaner
look around bunkers and
fairways Lower power
requirements
Does not lift the grass
well in high height-of-cut
applications Wet or
sticky grass has a
tendency to build up in
the chamber, leading
to poor quality of cut
and higher power
requirements
High Lift Parallel Sail
Blade (Do not use with
the mulching baffle)
May work well in light or
sparse turf
Recommended for light
or sparse turf
Recommended in most
applications
Not Allowed
More lift and higher
discharge velocity
Sparse or limp turf is
picked up at high height
of cut Wet or sticky
clippings are discharged
efficiently
Requires more power to
run in some applications
Tends to windrow at
lower height of cut in
lush grass Do not use
with the mulching baffle
26
Mulching Baffle
Has been shown to
improve dispersion and
after cut performance
on northern grasses that
are cut at least 3 times
per week and less than
1/3 of the grass blade
is removed. Do not
use with the high lift
parallel sail blade
Use with combination
sail or angle sail blade
only
May improve dispersion
and appearance in
certain grass cutting
applications Very good
for leaf mulching
Grass will build up in the
chamber if attempting to
remove too much grass
with baffle in place
Roller Scraper
Can be used any time
that rollers build up
with grass or large flat
grass clumps of grass
are seen. The scrapers
may actually increase
clumping in certain
applications.
Reduces roller buildup
in certain applications
