Mowing Facts and More
Reel mower – These are also known as cylinder mowers (these are usually either hand-pushed or self-powered in some way). They have a horizontally rotating cylindrical reel composed of blades, which run past a horizontal cutting bar that slices the blades of grass almost like a pair of scissors. This type of mower works best on shorter grass (tall grass will likely tie up the blades).
Rotary mower – These are also referred to as drum mowers. They have a rapidly rotating bar or discs mounted on a bar that cut the grass or crop. These are generally attached to tractors and capable of cutting large areas at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. If you need to mow A LOT of grass, you probably want a rotary mower.
Sickle mower – This one has many different names including reciprocating mower, bar mower, or finger-bar mower. It has a long bar with fingers mounted on it with stationary guardplates. In a channel on the bar there is a sickle with sharp triangular blades. These do the cutting as they are driven back and forth along the channel. This type of mower is most similar to an electric razor.
Flail mower – These mowers have a number of tiny blades on the end of chains which are attached to a horizontal axis. These mowers can cut through some seriously thick brush. If you have a tough area to mow with long grass and weeds you may want to see if you can get your hands on a flail mower.
Lawn patterns – When people mow in a specific pattern and get the grass to lay properly they can create designs in the grass. A common approach is to make diagonal lines to give the yard a different appearance. There are many different patterns that one can attempt including straight lines (this is what most people try to do but fail at on a regular basis).
