Waste time? The reel mower saves me time. No trips to get gas, no oil measurements, no engine maintanence, no bags of mulch to deal with. It's simple and easy. Wouldn't want it for a 1/2 acre mow job but if I had that kind of yard, I'd have some kid mow it!Originally posted by: Ornery
Hey mithrandir, why waste your time? Personally, I feel like a chump anymore!

I think he's referring to the fact that Holden J. Caufield hasn't responded to his own post in 13 hours despite the fact that he was asked a few questions and even appears to be on-line, which is a great way to repay people whom respond to your request for advice.

Yeah, what Jzero said. But damn, a reel type mower with no engine... Damn! That would take a burly SOB to handle that. A "reel" man's mower!
I know what you mean about the way it shears the grass instead of lopping it off. It's the no compromise way to go, but damn, I'd have an engine on it!
My first time mowing I ruined the garden hose. :QShe stopped letting me push it after I pushed it into her begonias though.
