Unlike that abused, possibly rusted, neglected, 1985 push mower that is stored in your shed or garage, a rotary mowing unit that cuts rough at your golf course requires a bit more attention to detail and TLC if you want it to last and continue making your course presentable and playable for paying members. Due to the fact that a rotary mowing unit at a golf course often operates under conditions where sticks, stumps, rocks, and numerous other non- turf debris exist, it is of the utmost importance that the blades are closely monitored and kept sharp at all times.

Living green is becoming a larger part of modern lifestyle in recent years. However, lawn care is often overlooked. What mower type is used makes all the difference, since your mower is the key tool in lawn care. Replacing a gas powered mower with a push reel mower is the single most affective way to make lawn care environmentally positive. Benefits of Using a Push Reel Mower Using a push reel mower has many benefits, some of which are obvious. Using no fuels whatsoever is often the first thing people think of. This type of mower produces no fumes and chances for gasoline spills and oil leaks are nonexistent. Those two reasons alone make push reel mowers green. Some other benefits include: • Quieter operation. Loud noise is a form of pollution. Gas lawn mowers are notoriously loud, and a green conscious individual will take this into consideration.

In determining which type of lawn mower is best for you, you can save money, and even provide some physical therapy. If you have a very small lawn, with lots of concrete, paving stones, field stones, ornamental gardens, ponds and waterfalls, vegetable and herb gardens, along with trees and shrubberies decorating your lawn, you may have only a few small patches of grass to mow. You can not just leave the grass, as it will grow very tall, and with no care weeds, other trouble plants and grubs will start to rear their ugly heads. In this case, a grass trimmer could be used, but keeping the grass from being over-cut can be tricky at best. A push lawn mower, available for about $50 USD, is perfect for small patches of grass or really small lawns, under 300 square feet. First make sure that you are able to use one, as you do have to push the mower, with no aid. For medium-sized lawns, about 300 to 1200 square feet, electric and gas-powered lawn mowers are likely best for your requirements. The bigger the lawn, the better lawn mower will be required. For the smaller of the medium-sized lawns, electric mowers and cheap gas mowers ($200
