| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Grasscycling as a potential component of a commerical mowing program. Suggests considering "the options available to enchance the performance of [an] existing equipment when mulching, such as mulching kits, blade selection and deck attachments." Cautions that "engines must be powerful enough for the loads they will tackle. Adding mulching to the picture will require more horsepower from the engine to handle the additional cutting load." Also discusses mowing deck design, explaining that "for mulching, the inner mower deck configuration is altered." Concludes that "Grasscycling can save...time and money. Blades with greater lift and mulching kits together may turn...present equipment into mulching mowers. New equipment may give...options to handle mowing more effectively under all conditions. The pressure is on." |
