Does Simplicity make a reel mower?

[OrangeMetalGuy]

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?

I believe they had them available for the walk behind tractors.

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.

I think you can still get a new reel mower through Sears or a Hardware store.

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
