Reel lawn mowers may seem old fashioned, but today models do not resemble the ones of old. In fact, today reel mowers are gaining in popularity as people become more environmentally conscious, not to mention due to the desire to save money on gas.
It does take longer to mow the yard with reel mowers compared with a mechanical mower but there are just so many benefits to using this style of mower. I don't think there is anyone in the world who enjoys having a power mower throw up bits of grass, leaves and sticks into their face and eyes.
Reel Push Mower
Not to mention the heat and smell that comes from the mower as you operate it. These are probably the main reasons why so many people put off mowing their lawns indefinitely: they simply don't want to deal with the noise, heat and smell from their lawn mower. Reel lawn mowers on the other hand provide a refreshing change in your lawn mowing experience and it can actually turn into something that you truly enjoy doing.
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your reel lawn mower:
1. Mow regularly
Reel mowers can struggle with long grass and they are harder to push too. Mowing weekly will let you avoid any troubles.
2. Mow early in the day
Many people put mowing off as it's simply too hot during the day. But if you mow early in the morning, your neighbors won't be disturbed by your reel lawn mower.
3. Perfect your pace
Remember that you are the driver of the reel mower so you need to work out at what speed it performs best. Too slow and the mower can skid but too fast and you'll miss patches. A steady pace gives the best results.
4. Test cutting height
Try various cutting heights each time according to your grass type and mower model. Most models are easily adjustable so it only takes a second to customize your motor for your particular grass type.
