QUALITY OF CUT 12
12.6 STREAKS __________________________________________________________
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually
caused by a nicked or bent bedknife.
Probable Cause Remedy
Turning too aggressively. Cutting units don’t overlap
around turns or on side hills.
Turn less aggressively to allow cutting units to
overlap. Change mowing direction or pattern on side
hills.
Tyre mats down grass before it is cut. Check/adjust tire inflation pressure.
Wet grass is matted down before it is cut. Mow when grass is dry.
Material wrapped around flails. Too much material not allowing flails to swing out
fully.
Severely damaged or lost flail. Replace flails.
