CUTTING UNITS Troubleshooting Quality-of-Cut Troubleshooting Factors That Affect Cut Appearance Even though the cutting units are properly sharpened and adjusted, some mowing practices and turf conditions can cause poor cutting results. These include: • Repetitious mowing patterns—tires running over the same path—may cause depressions and ruts.
Page 277
CUTTING UNITS Definition of Terms The following terms are used to describe various cut appearance symptoms. Ragged Cut Ragged cutting occurs when blades of grass are torn or damaged rather than cut. This is usually caused by incorrect height-of-cut adjustment, incorrect bedknife-to-reel adjustment, or dull blades.
Page 278
CUTTING UNITS Washboarding Washboarding is a cyclical pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance. In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance is approximately 6–8 in. (15–20 cm). Color variation (light-to-dark) may also be noticed. This condition is usually caused by a rocking motion in the cutting unit(s).
Page 279
CUTTING UNITS Marcelling Marcelling is a wave-like cut appearance similar to washboarding but with a uniform cutting height and smaller wave tip-to-tip distance. In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance is 2 in. (5 cm) or less. Color variation (light-to-dark) may also be noticed. This condition is usually caused by an incorrect frequency-of-clip.
Page 280
CUTTING UNITS Step Cutting Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one side of a cutting unit than on the other, or on one side of the mower than on the other. This is usually caused by mechanical wear or an incorrect roller or adjustment. TN0221 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Page 281
CUTTING UNITS 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 setting and/or uneven turf.
Page 282
CUTTING UNITS Stragglers Stragglers are scattered blades of uncut or poorly cut grass. TN0223 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Bedknife improperly adjusted. Adjust bedknife. (See “Bedknife-to-Reel Clearance Adjustment” on page 8-17.) Dull cutting edges. Sharpen reel and bedknife. (Refer to “Parts and Maintenance Manual.”) Mowing (ground) speed is too fast.
Page 283
CUTTING UNITS Streaks A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused by a damaged bedknife or reel blade. TN0224 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Damaged bedknife. Replace bedknife. (See “Bedknife” on page 8-33.) Damaged or unevenly worn reel.
Page 284
CUTTING UNITS Windrowing Windrowing is the deposit of clippings concentrated at one end of cutting unit(s) or between cutting units, forming line(s) in the direction of travel. TN0225 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Grass is too tall. Mow more often.
Page 285
CUTTING UNITS Mismatched Cutting Units Mismatched cutting units cause a pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a stepped cut appearance, usually due to a different HOC (height-of-cut) adjustment from one cutting unit to another. TN1278 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy HOC inconsistent from one cutting unit to another.
Page 286
CUTTING UNITS Rifling or Tramlining Rifling or tramlining is a pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance, usually due to heavy contact points across the reel and/or bedknife. TN0987 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Reel and/or bedknife unevenly worn.
Page 287
CUTTING UNITS Grass Graining Grass graining is a directional orientation of grass blades and/or stems usually due to mowing in one direction or constant traffic in one direction. TN2853 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Mowing in the same direction all the time. Mow against the grain or change the mowing pattern.
CUTTING UNITS Mechanical Troubleshooting Condition Probable Cause Remedy Reel drive does not engage. Traction lever and/or mow/transport switch Move traction lever and/or mow/transport not in the mow position. switch to the mow position. (Refer to “Safety and Operation Manual.”) Reel motor faulty. Repair or replace reel motor.
CUTTING UNITS Checks and Adjustments Bedknife-to-Reel Clearance Adjustment See Figures 8-2 and 8-3. CAUTION To prevent personal injury and damage to the cutting edges, handle the reel with extreme care. 1. Park the mower safely. (See “Park Mower Safely” on TN0893 page 1-6.) Figure 8-3...
