Monitoring Quality

We constantly monitor our mowing equipment for quality of cut.  This is accomplished with the use of a prism pictured above.  Not only does it measure the mowing height, it shows up close the cut quality.  We can see above the nice clean cut on Newport greens.  This is as good as it gets.  The other interesting thing is how bench height settings are much different from actual mowing height.  Our mowers are bench set at aproximately .150", BUT the effective or actual mowing height is .110".  The difference generally comes from the weight of the equipment.
