    Just looking to get some thoughts on this cutting unit. I currently use a Lastec articulator but it has seven smaller decks compared to the Gravely's 3 decks. Does this machine scalp? how does the cut look?

    I think it will depend on your cutting height and how much mounding your golf course has. When I was in Michigan, we used a similar mower by Progressive, but we were cutting around 2.5" on a fairly flat course. If we were to try the same thing here in Georgia, it wouldn't work because our cutting height is lower on the bermuda (1.5"), mounding is more severe, and the bermuda will scalp very easily with little changes in cutting height. My preference is for the smaller decks on the bermuda, even though it seems like it multiplies the number of things that can go wrong.
