Scotts 14-Inch 5-Blade Push Reel Lawn Mower, Green

The Scotts reel lawn mower is a healthy and eco-friendly alternative to traditional lawn mowers. This old-fashioned, manual-powered reel lawn mower produces zero fumes or emissions, making it a sustainable choice for lawn care. With a cutting width of 14 inches, the Scotts push mower features durable, heat-treated alloy steel blades and an adjustable cutting height range of 1/2 to 1.75 inches, allowing for a precise and even cut.

The 8.5-inch composite wheels provide excellent maneuverability and transportation, making the push mower easy to operate. Unlike traditional rotary mowers, the reel mower uses a cutting action that does not bruise or damage the grass blades, encouraging deeper root growth. For optimal results, it is recommended to mow no more than one-third of the grass blade at a time, and to increase the overlap when the lawn reaches a height of 4 inches or more.

Wet grass can produce an uneven cut, so it is best to avoid using the reel mower in such conditions. Before mowing, it is essential to collect and remove any lawn debris to ensure a clean and efficient cut. Reel mowers work best on well-maintained lawns, and if the lawn is overgrown with divots and tall weeds, it is recommended to have the lawn worked on before using a reel mower, as it may require multiple passes the first time.

The power source behind the Scotts reel mower has remained consistent for over a century – the human energy. This readily available and cost-effective power source is both environmentally friendly and effective, leaving behind only a few footprints in a perfectly cut lawn. The Great States company has spent the last century perfecting its reel mower designs, streamlining production processes, and using the best materials to create the highest-quality reel mowers possible.

The Scotts 14-inch cutting width reel lawn mower features a 3-spider, 5-blade ball bearing reel with heat-treated alloy steel blades and a bed knife blade. The 10-inch composite wheels with radial rubber tires provide excellent maneuverability and transportation. The adjustable cutting height range of 1 to 1-3/4 inches allows for customization to suit individual lawn care needs. The T-style handle with a comfortable cushioned grip further enhances the overall user experience.

Maintaining a reel mower requires attention to detail. It is important to not allow the lawn to become overgrown, as taller grass means more work. Instead, it is recommended to mow smaller amounts more frequently, ensuring a proper cut and not letting the lawn exceed a height of 3-4 inches. By following these guidelines and properly caring for the reel mower, homeowners can enjoy a beautifully manicured lawn while minimizing their environmental impact.
