12 QUALITY OF CUT
12.2 MARCELLING______________________________________________________
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Marcelling, like washboarding, is a repeated pattern
of different cutting heights, that causes an appear-
ance that is like a wave.
In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance is 2 inch-
es (5 cm).
Possible Cause Solution
The cut (ground) speed is higher than normal. Decrease the cut (ground) speed.
The height-of-cut setting is not high enough for the
turf conditions.
Make sure that the height of cut is adjusted to the
turf conditions.
Cutting reel diameter is worn. Check the cutting reel diameter. When the reel is
worn, the reel must be replaced.
