12.9 RIFLING OR TRAMLINING __________________________________________________
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Rifling or tramlining is a pattern of different cutting heights
that gives the grass an appearance like a wave. This
appearance is normally because of heavy contact points
across a reel and bedknife.
Probable Cause
Remedy
The reel is damaged or is not worn equally.
Check and adjust the HOC on cutting units to same
height.
Loose, missing or over-torqued bedknife screws
Install, replace or tighten the bedknife screws to the
correct torque.
Cut (ground) speed is higher than normal
Reduce the cut (ground) speed.
