I agree with that. Push type reel mowers don't spin anywhere near as much as riding ones so sharpening isn't required nearly as often. Spin grinders make it so anybody with a little skill can properly sharpen reels. Older sharpeners like a Foley can do an excellent job but do require a lot of skill and patience in order to get an optimum job. Sometimes people will buy a used riding reel mower at an auction because it seemed pretty cheap to buy. Then they find out about maintenance and sharpening. Taller grass is easier to maintain and grows and looks way better. I had a big disagreement with a guy once about grass. He tried to tell me that anyone could cut their grass at home as short as a golf course green. You just had to train the grass by gradually lowering the height of cut. Biggest load of bs I've ever heard. Greens use a special seed and it's very expensive. Lots of people complain their grass is brown and not really green like it should be. Reason; It's cut too short. Much easier to grow grass if it's a little taller. The cuttings are good for the grass too. Golf courses don't pick up the grass when they cut fairways. Dave
