10.6 Roadway Cutting - Blade Rotation
On roadway cutting the grass tends to be thicker and longer as you go down the ditch, away from the road. As
the tractor drives through the uncut grass, the grass is tramped forward and down by the tractor tires. Ideally
the blade rotation should pick up or stand up the tramped grass as it cuts it.
In the example shown, the tractor is traveling to the right, the grass will be tramped down in that direction. A
clockwise rotating blade set will do a better job picking up and cutting the grass tramped in the right track then
in the left track. The counter-clockwise rotating blade set will do a better job picking up and cutting the left track
then it will the right track.
