I recently pickup up a Scotts Pro 18” manual reel mower off Amazon mostly because it had 7 blades. After adjusting the axle height it now runs from 1”-3” in I think 7 increments. I basically cut it front to back and side to side. Then usually hit it again once the next day and it will be pretty even. It really speeds bermuda filling in vs a rotary mower as the clean cut and light weight negatively impact the grass less. Like pruning versus hitting it with a machete on wheel’s.

That is some good looking Bermuda! Next step- leveling with sand and going lower!

I like the satisfaction i’m doing it myself the cutting action and all that BUT..... there are a few things that a Rotary Rotary does that the manual just can’t.. like the vacuum that for 1 has the sucking motion that lifts the grass up as to insure a uniform cut , and also it cleans up the clippings witch is a major plus 👍

Crazy how a mower that's a little above 100$ cuts better than any rotary mower. I asked some older guys at work why no one used them since they cut better and are better overall for the grass, they said pretty much "once you start reel mowing you have to cut every 4 days or they won't cut right" I've turned into a kind of lawn enthusiast this year and mow every 4 days anyway. Bought a scotts elite and going to take it out tomorrow and see how it cuts, did a couple of dry runs tonight with it, and it's easier to cut with than my Ryobi electric push mower. Could be because I have a 40lb home made striper that I'm hauling behind it but it was pretty soothing to use.

I just scored my first reel mower for free, the lady used it about 3 times (I think) but yeah.... free!! But anyways, is their anyway you could possibly do a segment on how to sharpen the blades? I printed off the manual and read it and it's a self contained unit from what I could come up with, do a couple things and put some lapping compound on something, turn the wheel in reverse, ect, ect ect. You get the drift. But yeah, i just like the style of your video on the reel mower and thought I'd ask. TIA, take care.

How high can the bermuda be mowed? I wonder if mowing down to 25 millimeters might cause you a weed control problem that would require expensive chemicals later. I'll be mowing what I think is lolium and fescue that low (or even lower!) to give a chance for overseeded things like clover, maize, beans, veggies, etc to compete (I'll obviously stop mowing once I see the cotyledons or coleoptiles - I am not a moron). I have a scythe, which works well (if I keep it keen!) but I don't think I like it for my patch of grass.
