Claim:
1. A control system for a grass cutting reel assembly of a turf-care vehicle, said system comprising: a reel cylinder motor structured and operable to rotate a reel cylinder of a grass cutting reel assembly of a turf-care vehicle at a desired rotational rate of speed that is based on the terrestrial speed of the vehicle to provide a controllable frequency of clip for the reel assembly; an automated height of cut control system structured and operable to control a position of a front roller of the grass cutting reel assembly to provide a controllable height of cut for the reel assembly, wherein the automated height of cut control system comprises: a controller system structured and operable to, via a one-touch process, control the reel cylinder motor and the height of cut control system in accordance with a selected one of a plurality of cutting scenarios, selected via the one-touch process, wherein each cutting scenario stipulates both a particular frequency of clip and a corresponding particular height of cut to be implemented by the reel assembly, each cutting scenario programmed into the controller system and selected via the one-touch process using a user interface of the controller system that is accessible by an operator onboard the turf-care vehicle.
