What’s the difference in the cut between a rotary mower versus a reel mower?
A Reel mowers shear the grass like scissors and deliver a more precise cut, unlike a rotary blade which tears the grass. A sheared cut yields a greener and healthier lawn. The scissor cut heals quickly and causes minimal disturbance to the natural growth pattern. The grass is cut in place, reducing the vertical height, but leaving the grass with blades of varied lengths for maximum sun exposure. There’s a good reason why reel mowers are the choice of golf courses.
