Marcelling
NOTE: One cutting unit width shown. Arrow indicates
direction of travel.
Marcelling, like washboarding, is a cyclical pattern of
varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut
appearance. In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance is
2 inches (5 cm) or less.
Probable Cause Remedy
Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
HOC (height-of-cut) setting is too low for the machine’s
capability.
Confirm proper HOC range for reel/bedknife combination.
Engine rpm too low. Check and adjust engine rpm.
