Review or the Gilmour Lawn Reel Mower

With my experience with the Gilmour lawn reel mower starts with the look of American made quality. Its powder coat finish and metal design looks and feels great. The Gilmour reel lawn mower is heaver then some reel mowers of today because of its quality construction but is still lighter in weight then others. When the Gilmore reel mower is adjusted correctly pushes very easy. 

I also like Gilmour 20" width design to get the job done and the wheels in the rear to help mow straight. Its 5 blade reel was great at getting the combine effect of pulling the grass into it. This worked well on Blue Grass and Rye. I don't have a the ability of trying this lawn reel mower on other grasses at this time.

With the Gilmour reel mower and all the reel mowers I try out, I ran a file across the front edge of the bedknife to remove any paint and to make sure it is sharp. Then test it on long wet grass. I was satisfied with the cut that I received from the Gilmour lawn reel mower.
