Hello lizard from australia... good to see you are mowing at a good clip...

I can sometimes do a little over 6 MPH but it starts getting a bit rough riding... :smile:KennyV

Hi Lizard, 4.2 mph isn't my idea of mowing, unless I'm on a ride-on mower perhaps. On the second thought, jogging while mowing isn't a bad idea at all.

So, what have you done, rigged your lawn mowers with speedometers? Or do you have your kids ride alongside on their bikes to test your speed?

Plus, going at such a clip, I'm assuming you have a fairly fast, fairly flat, fairly long yard? I can't imagine getting an even cutting if you're two-wheeling it around the corners!

The Reel Mower weighs 270 lbs and has a split roller, full differential for high speed cornering.
Cutting Lawn at 1/4 of a inch height........looks like a golf green when finished mowing:biggrin:

How wide is the cut?
Consider that a brisk walk is 3.5 mph. You're not talking kph, it's mph right?
So you are pushing 270 lbs at 4.2 mph, how far can you do that?

Sounds like a great powered reel mower... can you post a picture of it?
I especially like reels, but there are not many powered reels commonly around, here in the states... :smile:KennyV
