@MikeRollinsSIP Many congratulations to you guys 🥳 🥳

@StephenTucker7 @bbbailey10 This looks really good Stephen. What program is this?

[Colin @Colin7211]

@michaelsbenton Looking smooth 👌

[Colin @Colin7211]

@MikeRollinsSIP Refer to this continually in trying to get better with our operation. From the opening quote of ‘where the reel meets the bedknife’ as the most important part on the golf course tells you how significant setup of mowers is. Precision and measuring, checking all the variables.

An extreme unparalleled cutting unit I setup thanks to the JD eccentrics to showcase to our team here why it’s so important to have rollers paralleled to cylindrical reels. Twisted frames and coned reels are some of the reasons why we could see something like this across all colors of cutting units. Heights good and cuts paper just isn’t a good enough look into a cutting unit.

5/11: Cool part is that this was just the BEGINNING! This was step 1! At the time of this post, we still have not tinkered with the CU geometry or had to sharpen the CUs.

I preach #CutlineIsKing all the time - & you can achieve it with ANY grinder & ANY color CU - but @SIPGrinders1902 takes you from point A to B on a top fuel dragster.
