Default RE: I'm sick of cheap-o lawn mowers


ORIGINAL: tommygun32

NEVER had any problems with this one....

Just a bit of oil and a good file does the trick for me.

LOL, a reel mower!
I have one of those too! When I could not get my cheap-o wallyworld mower fixed and running again, I bought one of those so I can cut my grass. I paid about $100 USD, and so far so good. Now that I have my new JS36 (its been a couple of weeks before I scrounged up enough money to buy the JS), I wn't have to rely on my reel mower anymore!

I don't pt any faith in that reel mower, again due to its extremely way-too-cheap price. The steel feels way too soft, and because of that, I'm afraid the reel blades will wear out way too quickly. Sharpening those, I don't even have a clue how too. On a lawn mower blade, at least I can sharpen that myself easily with some files.
