12 QUALITY OF CUT
12.3 STEP CUTTING _____________________________________________________
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one
side of a reel than the other or one cutting unit to
another. This is usually caused by mechanical wear
or an incorrect roller or HOC (height-of-cut)
adjustment.
Probable Cause Remedy
HOC (height-of-cut) settings are different from one
side of a cutting unit to the other or from one cutting
unit to another.
Check HOC adjustment of cutting units.
Variations in turf density. Change mowing direction.
Machine weight distribution is uneven. Check/adjust tire inflation pressure.
