Capabilities and limitations

Rotary mowers will not give the manicured cut appearance of a reel mower, but will give an acceptable appearance in more varied and adverse conditions.

Rotary mowers are capable of cutting much higher grass than reel mowers. When an excessive amount of grass is removed, the cut appearance can become unsightly due to the discharged grass building up in clumps and ridges. If the grass is allowed to grow longer than normal, or if it contains a high degree of moisture, raise the cutting height higher than usual and cut the grass at this setting. Then, cut the grass again using the lower, normal setting.

The tolerances within a rotary cutting unit are not nearly as critical as a reel type cutting unit. Therefore, a rotary mower can withstand more abuse than a reel type and maintain an acceptable quality of cut.
