I am a complete convert to higher cutting heights in orchard grass. I use high stubble shoes and have the tilt cylinder locked up. However, this year presents a challenge due to the severe lodging that we have. I already know based on my test cut for tune up purposes that I am going to have to reseed my new field due to lodging mortality. Large swatches of absolutely nothing growing. Painful because there was a great stand everywhere at the beginning of April. I am not going to go back to regular shoes but I am thinking of tilting the cylinder down, guessing that makes 2-3" cutting stubble and closer in spots to try to cut as much of the lodged stuff as I can. Otherwise, I just pull it up each time I ted or rake. What would you do in my situation, lower cutting height or not?
