Jacobsen announced the launch of the TrueSet cutting unit, with a bedknife-to-reel adjustment at two points with a gear that moves the bedbar one thousandth of an inch with an audible click.
“When the technician hears that click, he knows exactly how far his bedknife has moved,” said Chris Fox, product manager. “This takes the guesswork out of bedknife-to-reel adjustment and shaves precious minutes from their daily maintenance routines. We estimate a typical course could save two full days a month in time with the TrueSet cutting unit on all its mowers.”
The adjustment is made from the top and front of the cutting unit with a 1/2” wrench, the same tool used for height-of-cut adjustment. The unit maintains a holding power of 425 lbs. of force holding the bedknife in place.
The TrueSet cutting unit will begin shipping on the following 5-inch reel products this winter: ECLIPSE 2 walking greens mowers (floating head), Greens King IV, GP400 and ECLIPSE 322 riding greens mowers, and the LF550 and SLF-1880 fairway mowers.
