Mismatch - Angled
Description:
Angled Mismatch occurs when cutting units of a
mower running side by side cut at different heights.
One cutting unit appears to be cutting lower on one
side while all other points appear equal in height.
This typically appears in one cutting unit with multiple
blades.
