Reel Mowing FAQs
Not all reel mowers are expensive. Manual reel mowers are affordable entry-level options compared to powered gas/battery-operated units. Reel mowers provide improved cut quality and overall lawn health.
Reel mowers have horizontal spinning blades creating an updraft, while rotary mowers use high-speed impact blades. Reel mowers are preferred for lower mowing heights, while rotary mowers perform better at higher heights.
Reel mowers, regardless of brand, share a common feature — an incredible cut. The brand differences lie in additional features and specifications.
More blades on a reel mower make it harder to cut taller grass. They are suitable for low turf lawns (below 1/4 inch), and increased blades may necessitate more frequent mowing.
Yes, the Revolution Reel Mower is suitable for conquering steep slopes, you can watch the video here.
Reel mowers can be used on ryegrass, Bermuda, zoysia, and St. Augustine, with a preference for warm-season lawns.
Reel mowers perform best at 1 inch or below.
No, faster ground speed may cause the reel to not cut properly, depending on grass density and height.
Lawn stripes result from sunlight reflecting off grass blades. Determine a cutting pattern and mow consistently in that direction.
Lawn canopy is formed by overhanging grass foliage. Correct lawn density prevents poor-quality cuts and turf disease.
No, catching grass clippings every time is not necessary. Adjust the frequency based on your preference and lawn condition.
🛠️Maintenance
Clean the reel mower after every use, ensuring the case cover is on during mowing to avoid debris buildup.
Winterize after setting the desired dormant height of cut by draining/burning fuel, changing oil, spark plug, and air filter.
Reel Rollers recommends using vegetable oil to protect the reel and prevent damage to the grass upon reuse.
Use the Grinder Finder tool on the Reel Rollers website to locate service shops by zip code.
No, after disengaging the reel lever, the reel should slowly come to a stop with minimal contact with the bedknife.
It is recommended to check the reel to bedknife on the Revolution 26 at least once per week during the growing season.
Backlap, as an interim method, between re-grinding when brown tips appear in the turf after mowing during the growing season.
Front Roller FAQs
Smooth roller advantages:
- Eliminates scalping
- Stripes your lawn
- Smooths uneven lawns
- Added front weight reduces bouncing and uneven cuts.
Grooved roller advantages (in addition to the above):
- Reduces thatch
- Ideal for thick, well-established lawns
- Straighter mowing stripes
- A more consistent and tighter cut due to 60% of grass blades not being pressed down by the roller.

The bearings are replaceable, and while they are not designed for greasing, spraying them heavily with WD-40 and rotating them can help if they are stiff due to external surface rust.

Backlapping FAQs
Refer to our resources page or conduct an internet search for numerous YouTube videos demonstrating how to backlap each brand of reel mower.
Backlapping is a common practice for reel mower owners to maintain a sharp edge throughout the mowing season. By spinning the reel backward and applying a sharpening compound, the bedknife and reel form a new sharp leading edge.
Homeowners typically backlap their reels twice per season, after the spring scalp and in late July or early August.
The 80 grit has a rougher texture and is more in line with regular reel customers. The 120 grit is typically used for fine cutting, especially on 10-blade reel mowers that are used more frequently during the season.
There is no set schedule for backlapping; your grass will indicate when a fresh cutting edge is needed. If you notice a brown haze across the lawn two days after mowing, it indicates that the reel is tearing the blades rather than cutting them precisely. First, ensure a consistent and clean cut by adjusting the reel to bedknife. If a clean cut cannot be achieved after adjustment, consider backlapping the reel.
Yes, larger sizes of backlap compound (25lb or 50lb containers) are available. Contact us for a quote at sales@reelrollers.com.
