Height of cut on Jacobsen
Hi all I found a Jacobsen Greens King 518 that I’m looking to buy but I’ve seen that the max height of cut is 7/16th of an inch. I’ve maintained my Bermuda with a rotary at around 2 inches and I’m wondering if the only limit I would have to going that low is mowing frequency/ pgr use. The yard is a typical builder installed lawn with its fair share of bumps but nothing too major. Anything else I’m missing? Thanks

Re: Height of cut on Jacobsen
With the right front roller brackets, you should be able to go up to about 1.375" or so. I run my 526 at .625 - .750" typically but have been as low as .450" on a builder lawn. Your lawn will smooth out noticeably after mowing with a greensmower for awhile but leveling with sand will help you go low.
There is some info on those brackets and greens mower setup here. I'll help any way I can, I love mine!
