Reel Mower Terminology
Counterbalance —
Refers to the transfer of weight between the cutting units and tractor to achieve desired
traction and/or contour following. Counterbalance is usually achieved with springs or
hydraulic cylinders. Transferring weight between traction unit and cutting units can
increase traction and stability, reduce c/u ground drag and steering effort, and minimize
scalping. There may be a compromise between good traction and good contour
following.
Crown —
The thickened part of the grass plant closest to the soil from which roots extend down
and blades shoot up.
Cultivar —
A plant of a single species that differs from another in specific characters such as disease
resistance, leaf width, insect resistance.
Cultivation —
A mechanical procedure such as spiking, grooving, water injection, or core-removing on
established turf to improve its characteristics.
Cutting Action —
A reel type mower cuts grass with a scissor-like shearing action as the moving
helix-shaped reel blade passes over a stationary bedknife. This cutting action requires
that the bedknife and reel blades be sharp, matched, and in close relationship with each
other.
