Lawn Mowers

Reel-type lawn mowers use blades on a revolving cylinder, called a reel, to cut grass. When the reel lawn mower is pushed forward, either by muscle or by engine power, the reel moves.

As the lawn mower moves forward, the rotating blades come in sliding contact with a stationary bar that is parallel to the ground. The stationary bar is called a bed knife. The grass is held up by the bed knife and is cut by the shearing action of the reel blades against the bed knife. The lawn mower can be adjusted to various cutting heights.
Reel Lawn mowers can cut lawns shorter than rotary types because of their shearing action. That is why they are used on golf courses. The sheering action of reel lawn mowers makes a cleaner cut than that of rotary mowers. Reel lawn mowers also leave finer grass clippings than ordinary rotary lawn mowers, but not quite as fine as mulching rotary mowers.
