   Looking for feedback on effective height of cut difference between Toro Flex 18 and GM 1000. Our team is currently using .030 as the diff. Example a flex mower set at .090 = a GM 1000 at .125. Love to hear from you......thanks!

   we have a .02 differential between our triplex and the flex we use for cleanups. We match up near perfect but that is just our setup. No info on the 1000's

   Did you determine the .030/.035 difference via a prism gauge or something else?

   If I remember correctly I think we used a difference of 30 thou. lower with the flex

   Chris,
   
   It also depends on rollers used, On Seadwarf Paspalum, we use solid rollers and our difference is .015"
   I would think each grass variety would be different, depending on individual management of their greens.
   Excessive nitrogen rates would increase the difference versus lean nitrogen rates.

   I have the Jacobsen 500A walkies (fixed head) and have them set at .125. I also have the flex 21 and they are set at .095. HOC is about the same. The Jac's might actually cut a little lower to be honest.
