球道微调技巧

球道微调技巧

要想让高尔夫球场拥有完美的剪草效果，有一件事可以确定：根本没有任何神奇的既定之规。影响剪草效果的因素有许多，因此无法为每个球场提供每次都卓有成效的建议。草坪状况和草坪护理实践因地区而异，因此，Toro 为 Reelmaster^® 球道剪草机提供了许多不同的调节选项和附件，帮助您实现想要的结果。

当对剪草效果进行微调时，许多变量都会起作用——每种情况都需要仔细衡量。但这里有一些一般经验法则，可为实现最佳剪草质量提供良好的基础。

哪种滚刀直径？
制定最佳剪草效果的计划应从评估开始：您的草坪护理实践是什么？您的草坪采用的是暖季型草还是冷季型草？一般情况下，127mm 直径滚刀建议用于冷季型草，178mm 直径滚刀建议用于暖季型草（更大的尺寸和更大的重量有助于进入更茂密的草冠层，实现干净利落的剪草效果）。

如果您的球场需要更轻的痕迹，并且希望在低于 12.7mm 的更低剪草高度（HOC）下使用直径为 127mm 的滚刀，请记住，随着时间的推移，使用更轻的滚刀组可能导致生产更多的纹理/杂草——特别是在暖季型草的生长季节。结果可能导致剪草效果并不理想。

对于暖季型草，在剪草高度低于 19mm 的情况下，178mm 直径滚刀更适宜于排出大量的草屑，无论是向前抛掷还是向后抛掷。此外，当交播以及更繁重的切根作业需要刮草时，这一尺寸可提供更大的扭矩。

如果您选择使用滚刀剪草机在长草区剪草（剪草高度通常超过 25.4mm），建议使用 178mm 直径的滚刀。

应该使用 8 刀片滚刀还是 11 刀片滚刀？
8 刀片滚刀通常建议用于 12.7mm 或更高的剪草高度，11 刀片滚刀通常建议用于 6.3mm~19mm 的剪草高度。 对于两个建议重叠的剪草高度，请使用剪草速度作为指导。要在低于平均剪草速度的情况下实现最佳剪草，建议使用 8 刀片滚刀，而 11 刀片滚刀则建议用于高于平均水平的剪草速度。

Using Radial or Forward-Swept Reels
Again, there are always exceptions to the rule, but the number of obstacles and potential for impact can help determine which type of reel is best. In general, radial reels are better for impact hits because the reel diameter generally does not grow out. That means with a radial reel, if you hit an obstruction, it will simply push the blade back down into its own radius; the reel will still turn and typically not hit the bedknife. Conversely, when you hit an obstruction with a forward-swept reel, the radius can potentially grow out — hitting the bedknife and stopping.

If your course has a lot of obstructions that could potentially be hit, such as yard markers, sprinkler heads, tree roots and chart paths, a radial reel is recommended. If impact hits are not as much of an issue, forward-swept reels offer a slightly more aggressive cut (lower effective HOC) than radial reels and can produce a cleaner cut in warm-season grasses, especially at lower heights of cut. Another advantage of forward-swept reels is that they can generally hold their cutting edge slightly longer than radial reels, due to creating a slightly sharper cutting point versus a radial reel.

其他考虑因素
Beyond these general rules, Toro’s EdgeSeries™ Dual Point Adjustment (DPA) cutting units offer many different options for adjustments to dial in your cut depending on the type of grass on your course. In addition, Toro offers a wide range of front rollers, rear rollers, brushes, groomers and many more attachments give you the highest quality of cut.
