Rifling or Tramlining
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Rifling or tramlining is a pattern of varying cutting heights,
resulting in a wave-like cut appearance, usually due to
heavy contact points across a reel and/or bedknife.
Probable Cause Remedy
Reel and/or bedknife unevenly worn. Inspect bedknife and reel. Sharpen or replace reel blade and
bedknife as necessary. (See “Reel Blade” on page 8-41 or
“Bedknife” on page 8-37.)
Missing, loose, or overtorqued bedknife screws. Install, replace or tighten bedknife screws to proper torque setting.
(See “Bedknife” on page 8-37.)
Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
