Are they used for different grasses or for different purposes? The five blade mowers are used for upright grasses. The seven blade mowers are used for common Bermuda, zoysia, centipede and other common bent grasses. If your bent grass lawn is extremely thick, a five blade mower will be much easier to push. Will I have to assemble my new reel mower? All you have to do is attach the handles. This requires from 3 - 7 nuts and bolts, depending on the model. The push lawn sweeper and gang reel mowers are similarly easy to set up. The ProMow Premium Series Gang Reel Mowers and the ProMow Gang Reel Mower sharpening kit come with a video. How often do reel mowers need sharpening? That depends on many factors: size of lawn, frequency of use, exposure to moisture, condition of lawn. Great States Corporation reports average customer sharpens once a year. Sunlawn mowers can go 7-9 years before needing to be professionally sharpened or replaced. McLane manual greens mowers usually need to be sharpened once a year. You can help maintain the sharp edge by keeping the both the reel and the bedknife blades clean, dry and well-coated with WD40, silicone spray or other lubricant. How does one sharpen a reel mower? Reel mowers are sharpened by "backlapping" - first you apply a sharpening compound to the blades, then you crank the reel backwards using a crank handle that comes with the kit. The compound rubs between the reel blades and the fixed blade at the bottom, sharpening both. Great States Corporation makes an easy-to-use kit for their mowers. We now also offer a sharpening compound that can be used on most manual reel mowers. Please click here: http://www.reelmowersetc.com/sharpen_reel_mowers.htm to read the directions. How hard are reel mowers to push? All of our mowers are easy to push when used properly, which means you have chosen the appropriate mower for your lawn and you mow frequently, so that only one third of the blade of grass is being mowed at a time. Reel mowers cut like a pair of scissors so they can only cut what gets caught between the blades. If the grass gets too tall, it will be pushed to the ground and hacked up in an uneven fashion. In order to recover from over-grown grass, it is usually possible to go over it twice, then mow again in a couple of days. Sometimes a rotary mower or weed whacker may be used to bring the grass down to a better cutting height. If your mower is difficult to push on a flat surface, such as cement, it may mean that it was jarred out of adjustment or damaged in shipping. Please check the owner's manual, then call us if you need further assistance. If your mower was damaged and needs to be replaced, we will send a new mower immediately and have the damaged mower picked up, all at no additional cost to you. What if I want to return my mower?
