![]() Scotts 20-Inch Push Reel Mower #2000-20 |
"The reel mower was the original form of mechanical mower for lawns, and the mechanism
has changed little over the years. A horizontal cutting blade is carried close to the grass, at the desired height of cut. Over this is a fast
spinning reel of blades. Each blade in the reel forms a helix around the reel axis, and the set of spinning blades describes a cylinder.
The spinning blades force the grass past the cutting bar.
Of all the mowers, a properly adjusted reel mower makes the cleanest cut of the grass, and this allows the grass to heal quicker. The cutting action is often likened to that of scissors; however, it is not necessary for the blades of the spinning reel to contact the horizontal cutting bar. If the gap between the blades is less than the thickness of the grass, a clean cut can still be made. |
There are many variants of the reel mower. Push mowers (photo) have no motor and are used on small lawns. As the mower is pushed along, the wheels drive gears, which rapidly spin the reel. Typical cutting widths are 12 to 20 inches."
