10.3 STEP CUTTING ___________________________________________________________
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Step cutting occurs when grass is cut higher on one side
of a cutting implement than the other side. Step cutting
can occur when one cutting implement is higher than
another cutting implement.
The wear of mechanical parts or an incorrect roller
adjustment can cause step cutting.
Probable Cause Remedy
HOC (height-of-cut) settings are different from one
side of a cutting implement to the other side or from
one cutting implement to another implement.
Check HOC adjustment of cutting implements.
Worn roller or implement wheel bearings. Check and replace the bearings in the roller and the
implement wheels.
The cutting implement movement is prevented. Check and remove the cutting implement movement
obstruction.
Differences in turf density Change the direction of cut.
Mower ride height is uneven side to side. Check and adjust tire inflation pressure.
Cutting implement height is uneven side to side. Check and adjust for even mower weight distribution.
