Fraise mowers are aggressive tractor-mounted implements that can remove plant and soil material from 0 to 5 cm (0 to 2 in.) depths. Compaction from routine traffic in turfgrass systems is usually confined to the surface 7.6 cm (3 in.) of the soil profile, which overlaps with fraise mower functional depths.
