Reel Mower Terminology
Clip (Clip Distance) —
The distance between sheer points. Factors which affect clip include:
•
•
•
The number of reel blades
The ground speed
The rotational speed of blades
Under close examination grass that
has been properly cut with a reel
mower will have a uniform wavy
appearance.
This is because of the gathering
action of grass caused by the
combined forward motion of the
bedknife and the pulling action of
the reel blade. When the three
factors above and height of cut are in a proper relationship, then the normal clip marks
will be difficult to see and the cut will usually be judged as good. If the factors are out of
proper relationship, there can be a noticeable corrugated appearance.
Clip vs. Height of Cut —
The general rule of thumb concerning height of cut versus clip is that the best visual
appearance occurs when the clip distance is close to the height of cut.
