11.2.7 STREAKS
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused
by a nicked or bent bedknife.
Probable Cause Remedy
Damaged bedknife. Replace bedknife.
Damaged or unevenly worn reel. Inspect reel. Replace as needed.
Loose or missing bedknife fasteners.
Check bedknife screws. Tighten loose screws;
replace missing screws.
Turning too aggressively. Cutting units
don’t overlap around turns or on side
hills.
Turn less aggressively to allow cutting units to
overlap. Change mowing direction or pattern on side
hills.
Tire mats down grass before it is cut. Check/adjust tire inflation pressure.
Wet grass is matted down before it is
cut.
Mow when grass is dry.
