Selecting a Blade

Standard Combination Sail
This blade was designed to provide excellent lift and
dispersion in almost any condition. If more or less lift
and discharge velocity is required, consider a different
blade.
Attributes: Excellent lift and dispersion in most
conditions
Angled Sail (Not CE Compliant)
The blade generally performs best in lower heights of
cut—1.9 to 6.4 cm (3/4 to 2-1/2 inches).
Attributes:
•
Discharge remains more even at lower heights of
cut.
•
Discharge has less tendency to throw left and thus
a cleaner look around bunkers and fairways.
•
Lower power requirement at lower heights and
dense turf.
High-Lift Parallel Sail (Not CE
Compliant)
The blade generally performs better in the higher
heights of cut—7 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches).

•
Wet or sticky clippings are discharged more
efficiently reducing congestion in the cutting unit.
•
Requires more horsepower to run
•
Tends to discharge further left and can tend to
windrow at lower heights of cut
