Which Manual Push Reel Mower?

10 years ago

I have a not too big lawn and would like to get a manual push reel mower. I have used a Brill Lexus in the past but sold it when we moved. I recently laid down new sod in our current home that is mostly tall fescue with a bit of kentucky blue grass.It is level and not too many twigs etc. I will rake before I mow. I would like to mow it with a reel mower that can mow somewhat higher. Any recommendations? Fiskers staysharp seem to be popular and have a few models but I would like to get some guidance here. I want the height adjustment and the maintenance to be easy.

Hi robertz - I did read many of the posts. I am a long time GW user and know enough to search using google site search etc. I did not feel confident about my specific type of grass and which mower would work for cutting height etc. Anyways as an update, I did buy a Fiskars Max momentum mower. I will try it and post how it works.
