9.2. Preparing the machine
9.2.1. Determining the work depth
Caution: the work depth must not be adjusted when the engine is running.
Always switch off the engine before doing this.
Caution: Always wear protective gloves when setting the working depth.
The work depth depends on the intended goal and the state of the lawn.
The aim should be to cut the turf as thin as possible for various reasons:
1. The thinner the turf, the less the resistance on the machine.
2. The thinner the turf, the less material is removed from the terrain.
3. The thinner the turf, the less physical work involved in removing the turf.
• The right work depth should be chosen to suit the proper functioning on the machine.
• For the proper functioning of the turf cutter it is important to cut just below the root structure
of the lawn vegetation.
Caution: lawn growth can accumulate on old thatch layers and dried root
structures. This spongy layer can reach several cm (inches). It is necessary to
cut below this layer.
• To set the correct depth, start by making a cross section of the top layer in the ground. Stick a
spade vertically in the ground and remove a piece of lawn to depth of +/- 10 cm (+/- 4”).
• Based on the layers in this cross section it is possible to assess how deep a cut is required.
• Also, take the supporting weight of the lawn into account. The machine will be supported by its
wide track system by the grass stems above the ground. This will determine the effective depth
of the blade in the ground.
