Manual Push Lawn Mowers

What are manual push lawn mowers and how do these types of reel mowers differ from the other lawn mowers on the market? Reel type mowers (also called cylinder mowers) have a set of spiral cylindrical blades that spin on a horizontal axis. The cutting mechanism works much like a pair of scissors, between the spiraling blades and the stationery horizontal blade. There are four types of reel lawn mowers: push reel mowers, which are powered by the person who pushes them and work best on small lawns; walk power reel mowers, which are automatically powered and are more precise in cutting; riding power reel mowers, that can have three independent cutting heads or 5-7 hydraulically driven cutting heads. Pull behind reel mowers operate similarly to pushed mowers, but the propulsion unit pulls rather than pushes, such as with a tractor or animal-drawn mower.
