BEST MOW EVER! First Reel Low Mow | Manual Reel Mower | Mowing Bermuda From 1.5"-1.0" 

Nice Manual Mower. I want to have one but i’m confused!lol what is the exact brand of your mower? Thank you.

Dude, it's yours! Now back to watching the video...👌

I remember mowing with the manual reel. Super satisfying. I used to run with it to try to get it to spin faster in hopes it would cut better. Probably better to do what you did and just go multiple times in different directions 👍🏼. Looks great!

When you're a car guy and manual is life.

Just enjoying this video all the way to England, getting my hand mower tomorrow.👍👍🍻🍻

3rd season now in my first house having Bermuda. I love it! Finally upgraded from a Scott’s Classic manual reel mower (which worked great) to a Fiskars and the difference is far superior. Cant stress enough the importance of making sure your lawn is level and also mow often.

The lawn looks great. Great video.

Looks awesome! My McLane gas reel broke down so I have been using my husqvarna manual reel mower. Love it!

That is some good looking Bermuda! Next step- leveling with sand and going lower!

Great video! Thanks for sharing 👍

I recently pickup up a Scotts Pro 18” manual reel mower off Amazon mostly because it had 7 blades. After adjusting the axle height it now runs from 1”-3” in I think 7 increments. I basically cut it front to back and side to side. Then usually hit it again once the next day and it will be pretty even. It really speeds bermuda filling in vs a rotary mower as the clean cut and light weight negatively impact the grass less. Like pruning versus hitting it with a machete on wheel’s.

Lucky you for having a cable box and att box in the middle of your perfect yard!

Looks great!

Very beautiful lawn garden 👍🏻

Aw man, looking fantastic, super glad you got it working great! Hopefully I get this seed down and I'll come over there and chip in. (aka drink a beer.)

I recently got my first reel mowers... a Fiskars manual reel. So much more satisfying than the rotary. It just looks so clean and fewer wheel marks. 👍

Just bought a Fiskars for my Bermuda. Can't wait to use it after years of a rotary. Chelated iron application on Wednesday.

Very cool! Someday in the future I want to try out a bit of reel mowing.

Excellent video and your lawn looks amazing! I recently started training my front yard with zoysia grass and the back blue grass for the dogs and children

Nice video Ben. Lawn looks good.

I like the satisfaction i’m doing it myself the cutting action and all that BUT..... there are a few things that a Rotary Rotary does that the manual just can’t.. like the vacuum that for 1 has the sucking motion that lifts the grass up as to insure a uniform cut , and also it cleans up the clippings witch is a major plus 👍

Crazy how a mower that's a little above 100$ cuts better than any rotary mower. I asked some older guys at work why no one used them since they cut better and are better overall for the grass, they said pretty much "once you start reel mowing you have to cut every 4 days or they won't cut right" I've turned into a kind of lawn enthusiast this year and mow every 4 days anyway. Bought a scotts elite and going to take it out tomorrow and see how it cuts, did a couple of dry runs tonight with it, and it's easier to cut with than my Ryobi electric push mower. Could be because I have a 40lb home made striper that I'm hauling behind it but it was pretty soothing to use.

It's just a relaxing activity using a quiet reel push mower...... I just do a section everyday (ish)..... never the whole lawn at once..... it's not even a chore. When I was a kid in the 70's, I had to do the entire lawn every Saturday...... and I had no idea how to maintain the real mower back then... that was work!!!!!

Just watching today👍 I never got a notification. However, nice mow job! 👊😎

Ben that Bermuda is looking good! Glad you were able to reel mow. Sounds like there is a big difference in using the rotary from the reel mower even if its only manual👵

I can definitely tell that you cherished that mowment. Thanks for that little shoutout there, friend. #CherishEachMowment

I like the ripples in the lawn after using a reel mower.

Thanks for the video.. just purchased same model.. better idea how to adjust it now..👍

I started using a push reel mower like that just last week haha! We are all jumping on the band wagon I guess.

My Grandfather had push mower that was really heavy and it was a Cadillac compared to the one you have which is similar to the one we had in the 70's, but I've never seen one for sale.

Im sold on this reel mower. Im getting it

Great video, thanks for sharing. I would have liked to be able to hear what the mower sounds like while you were cutting though.

Multi-directional mowing is the way you're supposed to use a push reel mower. Even with the older antique mowers.

Cool vid! We made one as well. Keep up the good work.

👌🏽

It's official, three "touches" equal a smidge

nice from india.

Let me know if you would like to come visit our Turf Park at Reel Rollers in Buford to try out all the different brands of power reel mowers.

Looks great Ben! Do you find that Bermuda takes more, less or same amount of water in the Lou? I might have to create my own little Bermuda patch where I get plenty of sunlight.

I just scored my first reel mower for free, the lady used it about 3 times (I think) but yeah.... free!! But anyways, is their anyway you could possibly do a segment on how to sharpen the blades? I printed off the manual and read it and it's a self contained unit from what I could come up with, do a couple things and put some lapping compound on something, turn the wheel in reverse, ect, ect ect. You get the drift. But yeah, i just like the style of your video on the reel mower and thought I'd ask. TIA, take care.

Hey man, great video! Like reel mowers a lot. Very well done lawn! Do you know the name of the music piece playing in the background from 5:43 on? Is it out of the YT Audio Library?

And you’re saving the 🌎

You are part of the cool kids for sure.

Neighbor across the street needs to tighten up!

He said you can have it😊But you owe him one day😅

Just getting into reel mowing. I saw a Toro Greensmaster video and it comes with either 8 or 11 blades. Can you get higher blade count for manual reel mowers?

I’m going to have to do a heel click in my next video. Start a new revolution in lawn care, heel clicking while mowing.

I noticed that your reel mower has those rollers for striping. Do you know the brand of that mower or any other push reel mowers with those rollers for striping!!

Another great video bro! I have a side yard of Bermuda also, i use my manual reel mower on it and it is super satisfying. Ive been meaning to ask, wana trade stickers bro? 😋

needs some lube, it should never squeek only click and clack. and if it you got it dialed in as loose as you can get it where it still cuts but its too hard to push then it means its time to sharpen. use a sharpening paste, its super ez.

I’ve bought three of them cause I suck at adjusting the bolts

How often do you need to adjust the reel to bedknife?

Hi, Do reel mowers work alright on St augustine grass?

I see it comes with rollers. Are you able to get some nice stripes ?

How high can the bermuda be mowed? I wonder if mowing down to 25 millimeters might cause you a weed control problem that would require expensive chemicals later. I'll be mowing what I think is lolium and fescue that low (or even lower!) to give a chance for overseeded things like clover, maize, beans, veggies, etc to compete (I'll obviously stop mowing once I see the cotyledons or coleoptiles - I am not a moron). I have a scythe, which works well (if I keep it keen!) but I don't think I like it for my patch of grass.

Hi, I’m in the uk, do you reckon using a manual reel at 3 inch is too high ?

following up are you still happy with your reel mower? Would like to take the plunge..this is more reasonable than trying to convince my wife to let me get a powered Reel.

What model was it? Looked like the earthwise 18"

What is lowest cut setting on this mower? Can it be set under an inch?

Can I be in the cool kid club, too??

Did you ever upgrade to a powered reel mower?

What city is this ?? Your lawn is perfect . Just bought my first home in Florida , need a mower and definitely wanna get a Reel . I’m scared of buying a gas mower for a couple hundred then having it die on me . I don’t have a big lawn anyway . Thanks for the video , bro.

What's thebrand name of your reel mower.?

First. Where’s the mustache?

What kind of a reel mower is this?? Make & model??

What kind of Bermuda grass is that?

So, what' the make?? You don't say in the vid; thanks

Short zoysia japonica

Do you think this will cut a crabgrass lawn? LOL. I know. But serious question!

Tres intéressant mais toujours obligé de mettre une musique qui casse les oreilles et couvre la voix d'explication. Dommage

I am a train gardener. I am looking for the best manual mower for my company dont tell me which is the best because you want to sell it. Tell me the best one because its the best even if it cost £1, 000, 000

Whale..........that wuz fun! However, he failed to say a word about sharpening, about maintenance - taking the wheels off and lubing the gears - or if it has a catcher. This wuz like the kitchen knife reviews that say nothing about sharpening the knife once it dulls!! A good review would take the thing apart, assess those parts, reassemble it and THEN do a test cut. Every machine requires maintenance, and a review needs to address that fact.

One day your wife will let you wear the pants

What is lowest cut setting on this mower? Can it be set under an inch?
