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

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!

These are the extensions, I put them on my 522 but have not measured the Max HOC with them.
