Does Simplicity make a reel mower?

My front yard is pretty small, too small to cut with a tractor. I use a power rotary mower. But I think a reel mower cuts better than a rotary, and would like to look into getting one next year to get a better cut. Does Simplicity make them or will I need to look elsewhere?

That's why they invented the Serf, or Homesteader7.....

I've used two different self propelled reel mowers. They do give a superior cut, provided that your lawn is dead flat, totally free of sticks and leaves, and your are willing do do a lot of work keeping them sharp. To me, it absolutely wasn't worth the trouble.

Check ebay...lots of options, and this search gives a pretty good idea of both power and non-powered reels. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=reel+mower&_sacat=See-All-Categories

There was a reel attachment for the wonderboy rear engine mowers, although I have never seen one in person. Would love to have one tho, just to have it. I think they were 32 inch wide, but not sure. http://www.simpletractors.com/simplicity/new_in_1957/wb_mowers.htm Steve

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
