Abstract/Contents:Discusses the use of attachments on reel-mowers and how they may affect the mower's effectiveness. Lists possible options for reel-mowers, including number of blades; roller type; roller scrapers; and turf penetration devices. States that "each attachment provides different results depending on situations and course conditions." Describes how "the number of blades on a reel affects several key factors when mowing including clip rate, efficiency and height of cut." Discusses the three types of rollers, including grooved rollers, swaged rollers, and full rollers. States that "turf-preparation devices work with rollers to literally stand the grass up for maximum results in cutting and to decrease the buildup of thatch, grain and sponginess." Concludes that "when properly installed and applied, these items can help...maximize the potential of each piece of mowing equipment [one owns]."
