Will a disc mower cut and leave a long stubble?

[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7279781, member: 348"] My Malone disc mower came with a pair of topping skids with it, that you just bolt on when needed. I put them on this summer to see if topping with a mower really was better than using my proper topper (Spearhead Batwing), as lots seem to claim. It was absolutely no different. Anyway, those skids basically just lift the bed up an extra 2", so you could easily cut at 5" I'd have thought. Sharp blades and a slower forward speed would surely make for a clean cut, unless the crop was already slumped below that height of course. Why cut so high? Plenty of red clover is cut at 3-4" isn't it? [/QUOTE]
