Reel Mower Terminology
Mismatch —
The difference in height of cut of two adjoining cutting units. This may occur between
units in a multiple cutting unit machine, or between passes by a single machine.
Mismatch is caused by dissimilar HOC settings or rollers that are not parallel to the
reels.
Monostand —
A turf composed of one cultivar.
Mower Capacity —
The area cut in a given time period. It is commonly expressed in acres per hour.
Manufacturers often publish this information as part of the product specifications.
However, because specific applications ultimately determine the maximum mowing
speed, these calculations usually reflect straight-ahead mowing at an assumed speed with
no allowance for overlap, stops, turns, etc. The following formulas can be used to
provide a reasonable base to approximate the acres per hour if the average ground speed
is known, or the average speed if the acres per hour are specified.
Acres per hour = inches of cut x speed in mph
100
Speed in mph = acres per hour x 100
inches of cut
Mowing Direction —
Mowing directions are generally alternated each time a given area is cut.
Mowing Speed —
Mowing speed is related to the finish level, the type of terrain, flotation and suspension
of the cutting unit. Features which improve the suspension and stability of the cutting
unit usually allow increased ground speed while maintaining a high level of finish. (Also
see clip.)
Overseed —
To sow seed over an area which is sparsely covered with some kind of vegetation.
Southern Bermuda grasses go dormant in cool months and golf course areas may be
seeded with cool-season grasses for winter play.
