Reel Mower Terminology
Dispersion of Clippings —
The pattern of how clippings are thrown (dispersed) from the cutting area by the moving
reel blade. Unsightly clipping dispersal is an issue with golf course managers.
The grass will be deflected to the right or left depending on the helix of the reel. All reel
blades are generally curved either to the right or left. Some machines have reels that
curve to the right; some have reels that curve to the left and some have a mixture of both
right and left curving reels. There is also an after-market chevron (herringbone) reel that
deflects to both right and left. Selection of forward or rear throw is achieved on most
Toro fairway mowers by simple deflector shields.
Fairway —
Fairways are typically mowed at heights between 0.25 and 0.75inches, depending on
several factors. A typical eighteen-hole golf course has a total fairway area of 30 to 60
acres, the average being approximately 50 acres.
Fairways are cut lengthwise with contour or straight line. They can also be cut at various
angles called cross-cutting or a combination of cutting styles.
