Why is a cylinder or reel mower better than a rotary mower?
Reel, or cylinder mowers are by far superior to any rotary mower. The horizontally mounted blades capture and cut the grass in its natural upright state shearing the grass rather than ripping it. Still to this day, cylinder mowers are used at professional and local golf courses to keep their vast amounts of grass healthy and looking great. You can simply compare the cut of a cylinder mower and rotary mower to a hair cut. It is the difference between a professional hair cut at a beauty shop and a chop job at home with a store bought clipper kit.
