ClipAce Function (Reelmaster 5100/5300/6500/6700)
Clip Rate
Clip rate is the numerical distance the traction unit travels between reel blade/bedknife contacts. The
actual mathematical formula is:
Ground Speed (in/min) x MPH
No. of Reel Blade x Reel RPM
Research has shown that the desired clip rate is equal to the Height-of Cut (H.O.C.) setting of the cutting
unit. If the cutting unit is set at 1/2 inch (13 mm) H.O.C., then for best results, every 1/2 inch (13 mm) of
forward movement a reel blade should cut grass. This produces the best after-cut appearance.
On a machine with a manually set reel speed this would mean that there is a limited variance of traction
speed in which the desired clip rate is actually achieved. If traction speed is too fast, a “choppy” after-cut
appearance may be visible. If traction speed is too slow, the reels may fan the grass away, which may
result in a “fuzzy” after-cut appearance.
