I realize that for bermuda grass the best mower is a reel mower. However, for various reasons, I feel that a reel mower will be somewhat difficult to operate and maintain. That is, the vendors are surprisingly few and far between. My local mower shops don’t sell reel mowers and the only one that does maintenance on the blades is not local.

Who makes a rotary mower that is “workable” with bermuda? Honda an Toro seem to cut to 3/4″ which would be enough for me.

Thanks.

Try looking for a Lawnboy 2 stroke duraforce. The staggered wheel design really reduces scalping. It only cuts to one inch but the result is great on a smooth lawn.

I forgot to mention they are no longer made and are getting tough to find. Other than that Toro Super Recyclers are quite nice
