Pr

os

Even discharge at
lower height of cut

Cleaner look around
bunkers and fairways

Lower power
requirements

More lift and higher
discharge velocity

Sparse or limp turf is
picked up at high
height of cut

Wet or sticky
clippings are 
discharged
efficiently

May improve disper-
sion and appearance
in certain grass
cutting applications

Very good for leaf
mulching

Reduces roller
buildup in certain 
applications

Cons

Does not lift the grass
well in high height of
cut applications

Wet or sticky grass
has a tendency to
build up in the cham-
ber, leading to poor
quality of cut and
higher power require-
ment

Requires more power
to run in some ap-
plications

Tends to windrow at
lower height of cut in
lush grass

DO NOT USE

WITH MULCHING

BAFFLE

Grass will build up in
the chamber if 
attempting to remove
