![[SCOTTS 20 vs 16 REEL MOWER] Detailed REVIEW](/img/n.gif)
I’ve become obsessed with mowing my lawn! I’m out there at least twice a week, even when the grass doesn’t really need it. I know it might seem crazy to mow when the lawn is already short, but it gives such a clean, crisp cut every time. Plus, it’s so much easier to do when the grass isn’t overgrown. I might look a little nuts, but hey, the results are worth it!
Wow. I've been looking at videos featuring the Scott's reel mower and you have by far the most beautiful lawn after you mowed and edged.
never underestimate the power of a push reel mower!
You might be the most humble man on the planet🥺 Absolutely incredible lawn! Keep doin what you’re doin!
Humble people make 11 minute videos about their lawn and care of the lawn? Im not saying hes conceited but you dont make a youtube video of your lawn unless you think its something.
I just purchased this reel mower. Your lawn is beautiful I'm happy to see your video I also just seeded some Bermuda grass. Thanks
Just bought the reel mower and toro 60v String trimmer. Your video convinced me about a month ago.
I wish my lawn was half as nice as yours. I’m impressed. Thank you for sharing. NW AR checking in.
Great looking lawn, I have the same reel mower and absolutely love it and the way it cuts.
Nice video and you have a lush Bermuda lawn!
Your lawn is gorgeous!
Nice lawn and beautiful house.
nice that you take the time to explain a lot!
--- my neighbor uses this mover & he has the nicest grass in our neighborhood - like golf course grass -looking ---
i am doing the research - i am sold on this -plus good exercise !
(1990s i kept my lawn super green -same type -in florida- i used miracle grow on it through the handheld sprayer & weed n fed turf builder fertilizer - gave my grass a deep dark green look)
i have the same type grass in texas now ...
great job -thank you ✌🏼
-Texas-
It does look good! I’m laughing thinking about a neighbor looking out and seeing you on the ground though 😂😂 I feel ya 100% , but to people that don’t get it it has to be hilarious
That's a healthy lawn!!!! Good job. I'll take advice from you.
No by coinsidence, but by hard work.🙏
Reel and electric mowers make for quieter, cleaner and more valuable neighborhoods. 👏
I have just installed, for me the first time working with Bermuda, 1400 sf of dwarf Bermuda sod and I am just kind of stepping into the whole thing including manual reel mowing. I am excited about it.
I hope you are still looking at the comments on four year old videos such as this one.
1. Did you start your yard from scratch (did you install it) and if so, how old is that stand of Bermuda grass that you showed in this video (i.e. how mature is it)?
2. When it doesn't rain, how often do you water it?
3. Do you augment with nutrients or minerals (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Iron) and if so.....what and when?
Very lovely lawn mate!
Looks really good! wish my lawn looks that nice...
They call me Crab Grass King.
haha... Bermuda spreads like crazy. It don't take much nurture it so don't give up on it.
Lawn looks great man
Next video you give us maybe you can show us how you sharpen your reel mower I have an earthwise 7 blade reel mower I’m pretty happy with it awesome lawn by the way you have yourself a new subscriber
Your grass looks really great. I’m surprised how good it looks without using the Big Real mower.
I just Subscribed
That's a lush green lawn!!!
Nice video! I have a Cub Cadet 1554 riding mower that has given me lots of problems since 2006 and expensive repairs and seriously considering a reel mower for the season this year, especially with the steady increase in gas prices etc. 👍🏻
Looks beautiful 👍🏿👌🏿🔥
Great Lawn! Good job.
Thanks!
I'm a bit of a late comer here, but just wanted to say thank you for cutting your lawn laterally (side to side) rather than from house to street. I take a bit of flack around here for also cutting laterally. My reason is I have a bit of a hill and I just don't want to push my mower up a hill! Makes sense right? Also a reel mower does cut nicely. It's like using scissors to cut rather than a whacking it it with a machete like with a rotery power mower. Btw, from what part of the country are you? I'm in Central TX.
Gorgeous!
Absolutely outstanding!!!!
Very nice and neat.
Looks good bro 👌
Beautiful lush lawn.
Great video, lawn looks amazing (older video but still damn good)
Just came across your channel👋 nice clean cut and looking good just subscribed 🤙💯
Thanks!
Looks great. I love the manual reel mowing. I have a Fiskars, Great States and a Earthwise 7 blade and they all work well. Just got a Liberty 43 to up my game. Great job on the video bro. You got a sub from Striperman :)
Thanks Striperman!
Which of the 3 manual do you like the best?
Looks great
Great job.
Piękny zielony dywan 🤗😊🤗😊

Manual mower cuts the lawn really well

This is a barbers preciseness
That shit looks good asf 🔥🔥🔥
Nice lawn!
Thanks!
Even my old man's lawn doesnt look that healthy dude, and he takes it pretty seriously haha.
Well done!!!
Will be trying my hand at reel mowing my bermuda lawn soon, planning on purchasing a earthwise 16" manual, and seeing what kind of cut I get with it without spending $1000's on a powered reel.
What mowing height are you cutting your bermuda?
I'd like to get mine down to about 1/2inch.
How are you keeping the lawn so green?
Very Nice Lawn, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Thanks bro! ✊🏾🌍 🇸🇱>>🇺🇸
dAMM LOOKIN GOOD!
I have this mower too! Its great but how do you adjust the cut height?
It’s pretty easy I have the same exact mower on the back of the mower there is a roller you just have to loosen the wing nut on each side slide the bolt out and lower it
THATS SHARP!
wow your grass looks delicious and luscious! How did you clean up after mowing and trimming off the edges of your lawn? did you sweep with regular broom or did you have a lawn blower thingy? Would love how to efficiently clean up, since i also notice some rocks and woodchips tend to randomly scatter and end up around my lawn too.
Thank you! I use an electric blower.
What is the edger that you're using I'm horrible at it and what your using looks so much easier to use.
Did you remove the clippings off the lawn ?
Do you mulch your clippings and how frequently do you reel mow?
I generally don't have a lot of clippings when I'm mowing 2-3 times a week so I just leave it on the lawn. When there is a lot of clippings I usually use a rake to get it off the lawn.
Cool vid. We made one as well. Keep up the good work.
How often do you have to sharpen the blades?
What do you use to sharpen the blades? Sandpaper kit?
How can u make your grass so green ,my grass become yellowish from inside any solution ,or do u prefer which grass I had to grow in my lawn
Mine is a Bermuda lawn. If your grass is turning yellowish it my be fungus or something other lawn disease
Thats some nice grass. No dogs in the neighborhood?
Some, but not a bunch. Lol
How often does it need to be sharpened ?
I have the same mower I love it but I found it a little noisy is it normal?
Nice lawn buddy. So, you are mowing your Bermuda at a height of .75” ? How often do you mow? Thanks.
So it depends on how much rain I get, but generally once or twice a week.
Lawn looks great. What HOC is it at? I just picked up this mower today and going to give it a try at 3/4" with a 1" final until I can convince the wife for a powered version lol.
This cut was set to the lowest setting which is supposed to be 1/2", but I think it's more like 3/4".
Martyn Home hi, do you have a video on how to power Scott’s reel mower to a height lower than 1”? Thanks
Your yard looks amazing! What variety of bermuda do you have?
Thanks Lindsey! I'm not sure exactly, but it's a hybrid sod variant that was probably installed when the home was built.
Nice! How did you pick up all the clipping?
I generally don't have a lot of clippings when I'm mowing 2-3 times a week. My front yard is small so when there is a lot of clippings I usually use a rake to get it off the lawn.
Do you put down ironite?
I use Milorganite in the mid to late summer. It has iron too.
It’s afraid is going to rain, spends 5:30 minutes talking... You gotta love UA-cam! 🤦🏻♀️😂
What was the height of the cut you mowed?
How can I grow grass like this ,and breed of grass u use
What do use to sharpen the blades?
Nice. No rain for a week? How about no rain for months?
I just bought the 20” inch Scott’s reel mower. Did you have to adjust the bed knife out of the box? I did the paper test and adjusted slightly since one side was not making a clean cut. After taking care of that the mower is still leaving about a 1” windrow of uncut grass. Any ideas?
No, I did not adjust out of the box immediately, but I did adjust later to get a slightly lower cut.
Unfortunately my mower isn't cutting my grass and it's freshly out the
box
How do you get your grass so green??
Fertilizer, rain and some good luck! Lol
Seriously, for beginners I highly recommend a product call Milorganite. It sells out quick at Lowe's and Home Depot but it will help a lot with greening up your lawn.
Hey how do you adjust the height of your mower to 1/2?
Have to adjust it at the wheels
Do you not mow horizontally then pass through again vertically? I thought you're supposed to do that with old fashioned push mowers. I have the same mower btw haha
I do sometimes, especially when I want to cut it even lower than the mower setting. I just didn't do that on this cut.
That’s what you suppose to do!!!
My friend ... your lawn's FAKE. BTW, when a lawn looks so good it looks "fake", that's a compliment. ;) That is one of the best lawns I've seen on the net! Question ... I have about the same size front lawn (mine is about 1000sq') ... how long do you think the blades on this mower would stay sharp of I mowed three times a week?
Haha. It really depends on usage. You should be able to get by with sharpening once a season if you're strictly cutting grass and not running over sticks, stones, etc. Thanks for the compliment!
low cuts -
kills grass growth
just another one
next!
a co s tou posekanou trávou?
