My orange push reel mower

[MarkLemonds]

I love my reel mower but never ever miss a week of mowing otherwise you'll have to drag out the gasoline mower.

[Dorisequador]

Man just think get 24 of those and you could cut your lawn with 1 push.

[crashtestkarma]

I have a reel mower that I bought to use when my gas mower was in the shop.

Now I prefer to use the reel mower and not breathe exhaust fumes.

The only time I ever use the gas mower anymore is if the grass has gotten overgrown.

bought one on the way to get gas three years ago.....ain't bought gas since .better cut,twice as fast ,quiet ,no more grass blown all over everything

[Swagz1981]

@TYUF786 i have allergies and i find i dont deal with them nearly as much now while cutting with my reel mower....it doesnt blow everything around like the gas powered mower

[metalfist616]

well at least you are normal from you point of view! and who cares about what other people think anyways? great vid

[jason23296]

if you can't afford to put 1 dollar worth of gasoline in a lawn mower then your probably living beyond your means and have no business owning property and should probably sell the house and move in to a apartment. I'd like to know how many hybrid car owners are one of those people with a forclosure.

Douchebag....great logic there....

Reel mowers suck because hippie's use them right???

[jason23296]

it liberates you from spending on gas and from being lazy? Come on it's a lawn mower not a gas guzzling suv.

[bbqpope]

yeah, I don't own one of those either. and I make my kids walk to school instead of sitting in line with all the neighborhood parents in the morning.

[BaseballFreak1468]

i have the exact same one in green

[pcwill1949]

Mowing barefoot will turn your feet green.

[sunnhygirlharris]

I have one too! I love the sound it makes. The neighbors appreciate it, too. Little kids walking by always ask me if they can try it. I always say "Yes!" It's kind of a Tom Sawyer thing.

[freckles2720]

I've had my Sears reel mower for 7 years and love it.

[transcendentalcrap]

What do  you use to lubricate the blades? And how often do?

[bbqpope]

the blood of grass!!!! that's all. Actually once in a while I think silicone spray would be good. Really they need little upkeep.

[DreamingOfLola]

seriously. the things i want to do to your mower.... sheesh.

[bbqpope]

Wow, Thanks, I guess now it can be called a power tool!

[DreamingOfLola]

oh baby you are.

a big one.

well, the tool part at least....

[DreamingOfLola]

hehe i wonder what else i could say to creepy stalk you out since you don't know who i am? hmmm.... how about this: my parents say they love the video and are proud of you =)

[DreamingOfLola]

your orange mower turns me on.

[Boosted427]

what brand would you reccomed ? Thanks 4 the info

[bbqpope]

Mine is a great states, but I'm not an expert on brands. I bought it from a retired widower.

[nfedger]

Scotts makes a great rotary mower. They sell them at the Home Depot for about $150.

[Boosted427]

how hard is it to push ? does it make a good cut ?

[nfedger]

If you keep the blades lubricated, (only maintenance needed) its easier to push than a power mower. The cut is better than a regular mower because it actually cuts the grass between two blades.

They don't need to be sharpened for several years if they are taken well care of.

[bbqpope]

I see that the one featured in my video sells new for $69.99, and they sell an 18" model for $99.99 at Menards.... if you have them near you. I might upgrade to an 18", the one I have is like a 15" and for my lawn it's a tad small.

[tigereye1964]

I got a 20in Scotts at Home Depot for $130.

[bbqpope]

I saw that one, but opted to stick to great states, there's not plastic on them and for my projects it looks better. I am all about appearances.

[Boosted427]

how hard is it to sharpen the blade?

[bbqpope]

I use a kit, and it requires me to remove a part of the wheel, apply some honing grease and wind it backwards. It's not bad at all.
