🔴1 YEAR UPDATE: I SOLD THE ALLETT. Over the past year... The plastic lever that engages the reel has been giving me nothing but problems so I sold it. For the price of this mower, i did not expect such cheap quality. I just bought a new mower to test this year, see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpiTfJKwgdBsaZY

Works great! kzbin.infoUgkxprGGPRQoChQaA8u58dt7miEpxQBKiWeJ More difficult with longer grass, though, but I was expecting that. I have a small back yard, it seemed like overkill to buy a lawnmower with an engine. This is easy to carry in and out of the basement through the bulkhead. Very sharp (be careful). At the back of the mower are little wheels, which I use when pulling the mower backwards, so it's easy to readjust direction. I'm including a photo which shows the before and after for my lawn when it was at its longest. For long grass like that you really have to put some muscle into it, and I needed to go into a new section of grass with some momentum, but when the grass is only an inch or two higher than regular cut height it's quite easy. The lawn is still patchy and full of weeds, but at least it's a good height! A step in the right direction.

Trying to achieve a golf course, ball field type lawn with a zero turn is near impossible unless you have a perfectly flat lawn and accept that you need to mow at 2” at least. I run a 42” mower, I cut about 2.5” right now all year minus the first couple mows after winter. When I’m over seeding and germinating that grass. I’m hoping by the end of next spring my lawn is going to incredible for what it is - a large and uneven lawn. This year I’ve been focusing on leveling out holes and dips, making mowing around obstacles easier, and defining spaces where grass grows, and where it’s not going to. I’ve got multiple trailers, vehicles etc that I’m always moving around so I built a carport and moved my driveway to the other side of the house to consolidate everything. Now I need to fix my original “driveway” which was just worn down grass that had some crushed granite on it. Also putting a walkway from the new driveway to the front door. The new driveway has blue limestone 3/4” on it now, and I’ll likely form it up and have it poured before next summer. For now it’s just raked out and bordered with steel.

The lawns are a cluster of Poa annua clover and various grasses. When fall approaches I would love to have your recommendations on improving this hot mess. We all don’t need golf course lawns but I’m so tired of the summer crap hole it all becomes. Since it’s all on my dime it has to be practical and mainstream.

My first reel was a 20” used Craftsman purchased used in 2000. Traded up to a used 25” McLane five years ago. I’m able to easily back lap it myself. Last season I splurged on the Kensington 20H because of the additional cartridges and there utility. Still used the McLane when I’m short on time. Save my commercial Honda rotary for use in early spring when scalping. Each serves a specific purpose but the Allett has become my favorite.

I kind of fix up older machines as a hobby so I’ve had quite a few cal trimmers over the years but I recently moved and my yard is still in pretty bad and bumpy shape. Reel mowing isn’t too popular in these parts nowadays, mostly just in high end wealthy neighborhoods but back in the 80s and 90s it was a lot more common for the average homeowner. That’s probably why they can be found pretty cheap on Craigslist or other ads.

Did you get it from horizon distributer or from Allett usa ? also what models and sizes did were in stock that you had to choose from. I got the Allett liberty. You got a good channel, My man.

Thanks Walt! i got it directly from allet, i know horizon had some on discount but not the one i was looking for. not sure what was in stock specifically but was pretty deadset on the 17h based on a rec from a good friend who owns one. How you likin the liberty?

Can’t hide that I have been thinking and considering reel mowing the front, I got one of the manual reel which was given to me from a friend but I will need to sharpen the blades before even considering to use it. I have seen online a compound cream for sharpen the blades, have you had any experience with that? Your new reel is looking amazing and the Honda engine is a plus!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare definitely not going to get what you have, first I want to see if makes any sense here as I am sure I will need to mow more often and not sure with the rain how it goes. I want to try with a manual one first

Those Allet mowers are really catching my eye. From some reason though I just feel like they are too small and flimsy... I have not seen an Allet or swardman in real life though. I would much rather get a Swardman however, i'm starting to think the allet is a great option as well.

Are you still using the Allett mower and how do you like it? Looking for your input before I spend 3000 on it.

I chose Allett for the exact same reasons over the swardman. Who are you sending your reels to? The community would like to know! I need to send off one of mine.

Haven’t sent it in yet but I would reach out to Roland to get the address

I think an 18" greens mower would do better even if you had to put a new reel in every few years because you couldn't find a place to grind. With such a small lawn you wouldn't need a grind for years and could just backlap until the relief was gone.

Nice rig . I have way too much lawn to push that beast . Quick question…. My lawn is tall fescue . Can it be cut that low?
@PrincessCutLawnCare3 жыл бұрын
thanks! you will want to keep the fescue at 3 inchs or higher so a reel mower would not work, you would have to do a reno and reseed with KBG or Ryegrass
