Scott’s Classic Reel Lawn Mower

Author Thomas

Reel lawn mowers have come a very, very long way in the last few decades. A number of factors influenced our decision to upgrade our lawn mower.

1. Better for the environment
2. Extremely quiet compared to gas-powered mowers
3. Hardly any dust is stirred up compared to gas-powered mowers
4. The Reel Lawn mower is easier to push and maneuver
5. Mulches the cut grass back into the grass
6. No more buying gasoline for a lawn mower!!!
7. Less dangerous, in our opinion than a gas powered mower
8. No air pollution
9. Requires little maintenance
10. The blades will self sharpen with a small application of sharpening solution once every 3 years
11. Provides a much better cut, and is better for the lawn. Gas-powered mowers whack the top of the grass. A Reel Lawn mower snips/cuts the grass. We saw a much finer cut with our new mower.
12. Classy golf courses use Reel Lawn Mowers. They’re large and pulled by tractors, but they’re still Reel Lawn Mowers.
13. It’s kinda cool

Compared to our old lawn mower, the Scott’s Classic that we purchased is actually wider than our old mower, so we can cover more ground.

A number of people told us that it’d be hard to push, well, I invite them to come and try. Our old gas powered lawn mower is not self propelled, so I was pushing around 80 pounds or more to get that lawn mower up the hill. The Reel Lawn mower is about 30 pounds in weight.

Scott’s really has it down to a science. The mower has two front wheels and two smaller rear wheels that are used to easily adjust the cutting height.

The Reel Lawn Mower doesn’t like sticks very much, so you need to make sure that sticks are picked up, but other than that, it mowed over the grass just fine.

We purchased ours from Amazon (direct link) which had the best price.
