ProMow Gold Series 7 Gang Mower (7 Reels)

Q: Jose - how deep of grass will one of these Pro Mow reel mower mow?
by Dave from Illinois on June 17, 2013

A: Dave - For the most part, a Pro Mow gang reel mower will handle grass up to 4" long. If it's higher than that the reels have a tendency to push the grass over rather than cut it. We also recommend that, if it gets to that height, to go over it with a rotary and get it back down to a manageable state that the reels can handle.
Thicker, hearty grasses like Bermuda and Bahia should be cut often and smaller amounts taken off at a time. Ideally you never want to take more than 1/3 of the total length at one time. This will keep the grass healthier but may require more frequent mowing.

Q: I have about 17 acres to cut. Most of it is thick grass and weeds. Do you think this unit will work for me? Right now I am using a 60" trail mower made by Swisher.

A: Willie - a gang reel mower such as the Pro-Mow definitely will NOT work for what you are describing. Gang reel mowers are finish type mowers that are effective for mowing large areas of maintained grass. This will do a very poor job of mowing thick grass and weeds. The Swisher trail mower that you are using now is the style of mower that is really designed to handle what you need to cut.
