A Lawn Comber is not designed to cut through the grass into the soil if fitted with Flail blades. If the standard Flail Reel blades that come with this machine are set too low excessive load is placed on the drive belt and causes the machine to bounce and can damage the blades and shafts. The Flail Reel blades are designed to just go through the grass and dip through the surface. If you require the vertimowed to go deeper into the soil, Delta Blades should be fitted.
