  • Page 252: Quality Of Cut Troubleshooting

    CUTTING UNITS Quality of Cut Troubleshooting Factors That Affect Cut Appearance In most cases, information provided by the user/customer will provide the basis for the repairs and adjustments that are required. However, it is recommended that a “test cut” be performed to evaluate the mower’s performance before beginning repairs.
  • Page 253 CUTTING UNITS Definition of Terms The following terms are used to describe various cut appearance symptoms. 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.
  • Page 254 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 deck caster adjustment.
  • Page 255 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 256 CUTTING UNITS Stragglers Stragglers are scattered blades of uncut or poorly cut grass. TN0223 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Dull cutting blade(s). Sharpen blade(s). (Refer to “Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.”) Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
  • Page 257 CUTTING UNITS Streaks A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused by a damaged blade. TN0224 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Damaged blade(s). Replace blade(s). (See “Blade” on page 8-14.) Turning too aggressively. Cutting units don’t overlap during turns Turn less aggressively to allow cutting units to overlap.
  • Page 258 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 259 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.
