Reel Mower Terminology
Bentgrass (cool-season turfgrass) —
Creeping bentgrass is the main turfgrass used on greens, tees, and intensively maintained
fairways in cool climates. Creeping bentgrass succeeds at cutting heights of less than 0.8
inches (20 mm), mowing at one to two day intervals, heavy irrigation, moderate
fertilization and the use of fungicides. Colonial bentgrass is sometimes used with
creeping bentgrass as a polystand.
Bermudagrass (warm-season turfgrass) —
Bermudagrass is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions. Although not very cold
tolerant, several new cultivars have been developed which respond better in cooler
temperatures. The improved Bermudagrass cultivars have excellent wear, heat, and
drought tolerance plus a rapid recuperative rate. Their most common problems are a
potential for thatching, shade intolerance, and susceptibility to insect pests.
Bobbing —
An undesirable cutting unit movement that leaves an unacceptable wave-like
appearance. Sometimes referred to as marcelling.
Brushes or Combs —
Attachments generally installed on the cutting unit to lift the grass blades resulting in a
cleaner cut. They also promote a more vertical growth and prevent or correct grain in the
grass.
