  • Switching from a rotary mower to a reel mower. It is not hard and can be done. Bermudagrass is an alphagrass. Taking it down to where you want it all at once will not hurt the lawn. It may take a few passes but can be done all at once. I took the lawn from around 2 inches down the 5/16. All at once, no waiting every few days!

    Proof that it’s hard to scalp Yukon Bermuda. What other Bermuda can go from 2 inches to greensmower height without scalping. Why I love it

      @ReelLowDad  Před 5 lety

      The front was rough. Having to raise HOC. The back though. I just wish the Yukon like herbicide as much as it does scalping

    Dude! I really hope things improve, cause it's looking a little weak right now. Has it been real hot by you or does Bermuda grass just suck? NO, but seriously, looks pretty good, I think we've all had challenges this Spring so far with our grass, considering the weather across the country has been bonkers! Good luck! looking forward to some awesome low cut, green as blue berry grass..

    Question Would a push reel mower give better results than a good quality rotary mower as I can't afford a quality reel mower?

    • @ReelLowDad
      @ReelLowDad  Před 5 lety +1

      The reel will give a better cut up to a point. My Fiskars cut great. It wasn't until later in the year when the grass got really thick that the appearance decreased. The cut was still good, but due to the fewer blades there was bad washboarding. Multiple (like 3-4) passes helped a bit. This was at 1 inch.

    • @ReelLowDad
      @ReelLowDad  Před 5 lety

      I love it. I have undulating terrain and swales in the backyard. The flexing of the cutting unit conforms to these changes so I don’t have to mow in a specific pattern. Only downside is the HOC. Stock is is max 1/2 inch on older models. I think pre 2006. Mine is. 2005. There is a high HOC but your lowest HOC is now 1/2 inch. Not hard to swap the brackets but that can be a pain.
