Cutting Blade Design
A rotary mower cuts grass by impacting the blade cutting edge against the grass blades at a very high velocity. This cutting action requires that the blade cutting edge is sharp and rotating at an adequate speed.
Three types of cutting decks are shown here; a recycler deck, side discharge and contour deck.
From left to right. Low sail, high sail, medium sail, recycler sail, and atomic mulching blade. Higher sails, generate higher lift within the cutting chamber. The type of blade utilized, depends on cutting deck design and turf conditions.
