The reason it stays

Why I use it

Scalping and mowing down to 1/8” on my lawn and precision cuts for the fairway and greens look in the lawn 🌱⛳️

Best for

Golf course look lawn. Scalping your lawn super low to begin a season. Grooming a carpet like lawn. Striping your lawn like a golf course. Rolling a perfectly smooth lawn surface with every mow.

What I like

  • Clean sharp uniform cut
  • Groomer - mini verticut attachment
  • Front grass catcher
  • User operability
  • Rear roller drive
  • Turn on a dime rear rollers
  • Grooved front roller

What I don’t

  • Height adjustment isn’t easy
  • Reel to bed knife adjustment is precise
  • Maintenance is sort of advanced
  • Parts are specialized
  • A rock would cause serious damage to blades
