Reel Mower
Posted by: ponyup ()

Bought a used reel mower from CL a few years ago and time for a new one. We have mostly Bermuda grass. Looking for a heavier duty one. Anyone got a rec?

Craigslist seemed to work out for you, before. What's wrong with it now?

Looking for a rec on brand. The one I got before was ok but not built very sturdy (was only $25).

Oh, ok, that makes sense.

Most of us on FU just pay some lawn service that hires illegals to mow our lawns. Not sure if anyone knows about reel mowers.

Ha ha ha, so true, Thurston.

Being vague is almost as fun as that other thing.

Lowe's sells heavier duty reel mowers.

Blessed are the murderous.

A reel mower? How cheap are you? Buy a real mower and buy some gas.

Scotts makes a decent one, and Great States are pretty good. New ones run up around $80-150. Most importantly, keep it clean, lubricated, and adjusted properly.

That's what I tell my woman ... although I sometimes take care of adjustments.
