May work well in lush turf Recommended in most
applications
Recommended for use Not Allowed
with the mulching baffle
Even discharge at More lift and higher
lower height of cut discharge velocity
Cleaner look around Sparse or limp turf
bunkers and fairways
is picked up at
Lower power high height of cut
requirements Wet or sticky clippings
are discharged efficiently
Does not lift the grass Requires more power to
well in high height run in some applications
of cut applications Tends to windrow
at lower height of
Wet or sticky grass
has a tendency to build cut in lush grass
up in the chamber, Do not use with the
leading to poor quality mulching baffle
of cut and higher power
requirement
Mulching Baffle
Has been shown to
improve dispersion and
after cut performance
on northern grasses that
are cut at least three
times per week and less
than 1/3 of the grass
blade is removed.
Do not use with the
high lift parallel sail
blade
Use with combination
sail or angle sail blade
