Ok here’s the thing: I play golf and there’s an open space of long grass by my house. I would like to mow myself a putting green, but I cannot afford a high end lawnmower for greens that golf courses use. They obviously use to use reel mowers at some point in the past and so I would like to know the type of reel mowers they use to use and attempt to buy one.

      Prior to the gasoline powered push hand mower the greens people used a push hand mower with more blades than the regular hand mower. The reel turned in the opposite direction of the wheels, the grass being pushed forward into a grass catching basket. They required much leg power to push but did a great job for the types of grass available.
