GM1600/Reel mower question

@Browdis I see the what you are referring to in the pictures.

Are you checking the left and right side HOC?

Is there a hill/slope in the lawn?

I'm assuming you have the grass catcher on? The grass catcher will typically gather more on the operators right side and could be effecting the mower wieght on the right side in the soft soil causing the HOC difference.

You might need to load the 1600 up and try it out on my lawn this week! 🤣😂
 
No question, grinding creates a better cut if done correctly. But- If the mower is passing the "paper test" you don't need either!

Benifits of backlapping include:
1. DIY job.
2. 20 minutes to complete.
3. Cheaper.
4. No special equipment required.
5. Doesn't take off as much marteial from the reel (longer reel life).
6. You'll have a better understanding of your mower.
7. Your spouse will be impressed.
