Apr 13, 2024 · If I had my lawn dialed in and worthy of that mower and money was no object, then that would probably be the absolute best manual reel mower out there. Realistically though up to $2700+ and over 100lbs for less than 16” cutting width and that tight HOC adjustment ranges(0.6 - 1” or 0.4 - 0.6” or 0.2 - 0.6”) is way too difficult for me ...

Nov 5, 2018 · The reel is turned by a gear that also turns the rear drum, so they are linked (ground speed and reel speed are tied together). Your variables are, 1) adjust your hoc to match the foc, 2) change the reel to have less or more blades (changes the foc) or 3)some rare machines you could change the gear of the drum to turn slower.

May 2, 2024 · To me, the advantage of a greens mower over a home owner reel is that the reel and ground speed are matched, so no matter what speed you go the FOC(Frequency of Cut) remains the same.

Feb 19, 2017 · The Accu-Gage is a fantastic tool for making quick, precise changes to height-of-cut (HOC) on your reel mower. I added the optional Gage Guard to help protect the dial indicator, and I highly recommend the optional Hands Free Attachment.

Mar 13, 2021 · Looking into the Earthwise reel model 1715-16EW (7 Blade). Cutting bent. I emailed American Lawn mower and they said this model can cut as low as 0.25 inches. Only manual mower I can find that might cut under 0.5 inches. Service person says this can be achieved by moving the blade assembly from...

Oct 15, 2020 · The scooter is a great idea considering it has all the components I need. I can 3d print the brackets and everything else needed for the reel mower conversion. I think the larger issue comes with the fact that my reel mower is not in the greatest condition and struggling to cut across the bedknife regardless of the adjustments i do.
