12 QUALITY OF CUT
12.7 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; re-
place missing screws.
Turning too aggressively. Cutting units don’t overlap
around turns or on side hills.
Turn less aggressively to allow cutting units to over-
lap. 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.
