10 QUALITY OF CUT

10.4 SCALPING ___________________________________________________________

NOTE:

Arrow indicates direction of travel.

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 (HOC) setting and/or uneven turf.

Probable Cause

Remedy

HOC (height-of-cut) settings are lower than normal.

Check/adjust the HOC settings.

Turf too uneven for the mower to follow.

Change mowing direction.

Cutting too much grass at one time.

Mow more often.

Mowing (ground) speed is too fast.

Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
