Re: Reel mowers

The new Fiskars Momentum  mower goes that high. It's supposed to be out in 
the spring. We had a chance to try it at the GWA meet and it's amazingly 
easy to operate.  We have local folks who sharpen the blades on reel mowers.

As soon as our old gas mower poops out, I'm getting one. Our former 2/3rds 
of an acre of grass needed power, but we've added so many trees and beds and 
borders that there's not much to mow anymore.
