Streaking conditions in swath Conditions too wet for mowing Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Blades unable to cut that part of
grass pressed down by path of
tractor tires
Slow ground speed of tractor but keep
engine running at full PTO rpm.
Cutting lower will help. Adjust tractor
tire spacing if possible.
Dull blades Sharpen or replace blades.
Material discharges from mower
unevenly; bunches of material
along swath
Material too high and too much
material
Reduce ground speed but maintain
540 rpm at tractor PTO, or make two
passes over material. Raise mower
for the first pass and lower for the
second and cut at 90 degrees to first
pass. Raise rear of mower high
enough to permit material to
discharge, but not so high that
conditions listed above occur.
Grass wet Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Slow ground speed of tractor but keep
engine running at full PTO rpm.
Rear of mower too low, trapping
material under mower
Adjust mower height and attitude.
