Can you reel mow tall grass? It can be done with certain reel mowers but you still can not mow quite as high as you can with a rotary mower. Today I mowed an area of my yard with my greenworks manual reel mower that had grown to over 3 inches and the mower did fine. The important thing is to also make sure the reel is adjusted properly. www.youtube.co... www.youtube.co...

I'm actually glad you choose to demo some inexpensive lawn equipment such as the reel mower, electric thatch rake and other stuff for people who do not have deep pockets. Other channels such as Connor Ward & LCN promote some expensive lawn mowers and rental equipment that is not very practical for the DIY.. I use a basic walk behind mower when I have a riding mower because the doctor wants me to do a lot of walking. Sometimes I mow two times a week to avoid a gym membership. My lawn is about 3x the typical size (15K)

Hi Ryan, I started my very first lawn project ever last spring with absolutely no knowledge about lawn care whatsoever. Things looked simpler back then until I realized a delicate picky plant the grass is. Then is when it occurred to me to start looking for some guidance and of course there's wonderful KZbin. So, I've been following your videos for a couple of months now and just wanted to tell you how much I like your methodic and perfectionist approach to lawn care! I just don't know why I didn't click the subscribe button a long time ago. Perhaps because your videos kept showing in my recommendation? Nevertheless, you got yourself a new and proud subscriber. I live in Romania where we get to face pretty rough winters as well as a tough drought during the summer months. Last spring I seeded a blend of grass with 52.5% Lolium perenne (I believe rye grass), 40% Festuca rubra (tall fescue) and 7.5 Poa pratensis (Kentucky blue grass). While it established pretty quickly last spring it took tough beat during summer and 6 days ago I decided to overseed with a blend of 95% fescue and 5% Kentucky blue, which amazingly is already starting to come out! Now my question, I've been told fescue will resist better the drought of summer. Do you consider rescue is the best choice for my region/weather conditions?? Thanks a lot!

Reel mowers are fantastic in so many ways. A good shop can lap the reel and bar easily with a nice even adjustment. Creating a beautifully sharp shearing quality cut. That is very healthy for your grass and your results for a nicely finished yard is fantastic. Once setup and sharp, you will find a reel mower is far better than a rotary. Especially if you're yard is flat and properly groomed, which always holds true. But the quality of cut is always better regardless of type of grass. Super thick grasses that can be cut to shorter height look like carpet and naturally show better. However a grass that is not as thick and cut taller will still look great, and because you can achieve a more evenly cut line and the quality of the cut from a reel that is sharp. Results in a beautiful groomed look.

I had a job sharpening these mowers as a kid. We tested them with newspaper. I would get it so that each blade cut the paper all the way from end to end of the blade, then customers would tell me that their mower cut better before it was sharpened. I never understood that. I'm an old man now and I'm thinking about buying one of these mowers for a lawn I just planted.

Ryan: I have found that using cash register or adding machine paper (roll) to be a fine way to test reel cut adjustment to the bed bar. Once you adjust one side I have found it advisable to once again test the entire width again. On my Locke there is a way to “back Lap” the reel to the bed bar. You paint on some fine valve grinding compound to each reel blade and then run the blade BACKWARDS and finely adjust the reel down to the bed bar. This method laps the blades to the bar in very fine polishing manner. Then afterwards you put some mineral spirts on a rag and gently and carefully remove any excess lapping compound from the blades and bed bar. Then with an oil soaked rag wipe down the blade edges after each use of the mower. This stops any surface oxidation but is a bit of maintenance that most folks forget to perform. Again be very careful doing this as the blades are sharp. Art

I think the best manual reel mower for the money is the Scotts 20". It can only cut up to a height of 3". It can be set to cut as low as 1" but if you're trying to use it to cut hybrid bermuda (or probably any bent grass) that low it will not work. It's much too light and the blades do not spin fast enough to get through thick low grass. It'll end up bouncing off of it and you'll end up with a weirdly uneven lawn that takes numerous passes at different angles to get right, and that will have to be done that way every mow. It seemed to do fine to about 1-1/2". It can usually be found for under $150 w/grass catcher. For 1" to 1-1/4", or for over 3", I'd recommend the Fiskars. It can often be found for under $200 w/grass catcher. My neighbor cuts his 419 hybrid with it at 1" and it does a very good job, although at that height the grass is not really in its design element (it's still upright, not bent). For under 1", the one I finally went with is the Maccot 21" for bentgrass (be sure to get the one made for bentgrass....the wheels are smaller, making the cut lower and the blade spin a little faster). The Mascot only has five blades but it's a heavy beast, with gearing designed to drastically increase blade spin. It cuts perfectly and as fast as I can walk, which is generally twice as fast as my 21" Toro SuperRecycler. The Mascot runs a bit under $400 w/grass catcher. (Yep, you can get a decent new Honda or Toro for that.) Did I mention it's fast? Every time I see a video of someone running a Swardman or Greensmaster I think, "By the time he gets started I'd already be done." Manual reel mowers require almost zero maintenance. They can't power through debris like a gas-powered reel mower, so damage to the blades is very rare. Wires (like from old sprinkler markers) are about the only thing to worry about, but that will damage any blade.

where this goes awry is when you mow only with it (and not to freshen up a rotary cut) - once the grass starts to lay over in areas, it will remain laid over. Missed blades will also bow over and ignore the cutter (it pushes them down like a spring). FWIW, I've mowed only with a reel for the last 5 years, and these are things that don't particularly bother me - properly set and some of the issues aren't that bad, plus bending over and pulling off long laid over blades isn't that big of a deal. The other side comment is if someone (and I'm sure there's someone watching) has a habit of sometimes letting their grass grow for an extra week, and the grass is thick, they won't physically get one of these mowers through the grass. Think grass thick enough to cause a mulching honda to struggle - it's an absolute no-go, so it's better policy to mow often. IF the setup isn't good, blades of grass will show crushing without severing, which looks like not that much the first week, but the next week, you'll notice that the grass isn't really growing, but rather is kinked with dead spots in it. Improperly set, the mower will damage the grass and keep it from growing, but it won't look good. I realize most people aren't necessarily looking for this much info, and the point of this video is more just to drive people to amazon and collect money from their sales, but I use one of these and have for years (and eons ago, I spent a ton of time on a jacobsen F10 mowing huge acreage with reels).

I would argue that mowing with a reel mower in grass taller than 5 inches is suiside. I had a small lawn in Raleigh, NC, and only had a reel mower to use. It a vintage mower with hardened blades and in really good condition, I had adjusted it... but getting it to cut thick grass was just too much for the user to muster. My problem was turning the gears took a certain amount of force, with the added push of the taller grass into the front, the gears slowed the turn rate and bogged everything down. This mower would not go above 4.5 inches of hieght, so after 5 inches, the scycle is the way to go...

I'm glad to see that the adjustment made a difference. I've been in contact with a major manufacturer asking them to design a cordless electric reel mower. Did you know that a gasoline lawn mower engine emittes as much in one average mowing as a car does in 15,000 miles? Most cordless rotary mowers can't perform quite as well as a gas powered mower though they are getting close but an electrically powered reel mower can do an exceptional job.

I routinely check Craigslist looking for an old gas-powered reel mower that I can use as a test bed to convert to battery-powered electric using hobby-grade DC components. I seriously don't know how this isn't a thing being manufactured already. It would be painfully easy for a manufacturer (Scotts, Fiskars, Great States, SunJoe, Greenworks) to slap a belt, motor, battery and speed controller on a pre-existing model (though some like the Greenworks with direct-drive from wheel to reel would need to be re-designed to be belt-driven). For a DIY-er, one could be looking at less than $200 in electronics.

Hi. Which brands reel mower would you recommended the best, even to cut the thick weeds down?! There are so many brands out there, which are so difficult to find the perfect reel. My parents yard is covered with 99% of ALL variety of different kinds of bad weeds. Which would you recommend the best?!

My reel mover doesn't cut grass when I pull it back but there was time when I was able push it and pull back when I needed to work a bit more in the same area? Do you know how to adjust it so it cuts again when I'm pulling it back towards me? Thank you so much.🦋

I’ve moved for years with reel type push mowers. You need a very smooth lawn. Back in the day when reel type push mowers were made out of heavy cast iron and steel parts they were great. The new ones are way too light weight to be practical on nice thick turf. The reels bind too easily and the just slide across the grass.

Love this channel. So much great information. I really dig the presentation style. Keep up the good work! I renovated half of my yard and planted on 9-3 (1/4of it) and 9-10 (other 1/4 of it) Starting to come up Tempted to get a reel mower for the first few cuts because my Zero turn is 600lbs and my old push snapper is even pretty heavy.

Can i use both a rotary mower for my initial cut and then a manual reel mower with a stripping attachment to top dress? I have searched and have not seen any similar questions. I am invested in my Ego LM2135SP but I do not want to scalp the lawn. I would like to use a reel mower after to get the Irish cottage garden look.

I've had an idea, take the blade from a hedge trimmer, mount it on some wheels so they drive it, wala, you've got a mower that will cut any length grass. Probably would have to mount that blade on the front of a reel mower so you don't have a bunch of long grass stalks laying on your lawn. To the garage!

You should try the Fiskars stay sharp max reel Ryan. Much easier to push than most other reels and height goes up to 4".

A Fiskars also runs about twice as much reel mowers, more than the average Joe would want to spend. Most people would rather spend a few bucks more and get a powered mower.

Hi, I have just under a quarter of an acre of lawn. (The whole property is a quarter acre including the house and garage, etc) I don’t want to deal with a gas mower, and electric is too expensive. Would it be extremely stupid to get a manual mower for that much lawn?

Obviously I'm super late to the party. I'm looking into a real mower for my lady's yard. I visit her place every so often but don't wanna invest in a power mower for the size of her yard. So my question is, is there really a need to rake up loose clippings if i mow every few weeks or so? I have yet to see one of these with a bag attachment on it.
