The maximum cutting height (L1 = 80 mm (3.1’’))
is obtained when the discs are parallel to the
ground.

The minimum cutting height must not be below
(L2 = 30 mm (1.1’’)).

Too low a cutting height can lead to:

- Excessive disc and knife wear.
- Crop being contaminated by soil.

-

Delay in regrowth
