Rotary reeL and the questfor a better naturaL surface
BY JOHN KMITTA SENIOR EDITOR
Making a major purchase reqtllfts J lot of thought comparison and questionsasked SelecllI1g a mower is no different Comparing brands and features isone issue out J blggltTquestion for the buyer mig] be reel IS rotary
Its hard to pick reels and rotaries because the companies out there are great andthe products are 11llproVlIlg 1(1) year said George Toma rbymg field consultantand one of the STlvIAs founders Im a reel man all the WilY llikc the reel even forblilegrass fescue and ryegrass_ I like to have a rotary as well because sometimes thereel lays the grass JOIin and you need the rotary to pick the grass up
Acxording to Toma however the buying decision ofter I doesnt come down to theusers preferences Sometimes you have to take the mower that you are given or what-
is in the budget he saidKevin vos CSFM athletic facilities manlger City of Muscatine IA echoed
Tomas views about the nupact of a funding Our athletic complexes are operatedunder the City of MUCHtillC Pinks uud Recreetion department said Vas Municipaltax dollars fund our operations so decisions sometimes come down to dollars notnecessarily whats best fur the lurf
Proper useThe- most important thing 1 try to tedch people is that if you dont have lime to
check the sharpness of the blade yuu just dont have lillie to cut grass salt Tamil
Advantages and disadvantagesReel mower advantages Provides the highest quality of cut wet or dry leaf surface Can adjust the mower height in very small increments Mowat lower heights Striping capabilities to create a variety of mowing pat-
terns Equipment is lighter weight Minimal scalping
Reel mower disadvantages Higher maintenance machine More man-hours needed to mow fields
Rotary mower advantages Fewer man-hours needed to mow fields Lower maintenance Larger overall cutting width Chops up clippings better for recycling
Rotary mower disadvantages Lower quality of cut Usually cannot mow at low heights Heavier equipment weight Not all machines have striping capabilities

Check the rotary blade and sharpen it allthe time And before vou use a reel mowertake a piece of newspaper or cashier paper tocheck the blades to make sure Lhey cut Themost damaging thing to tun is a rJuJJ mowerbecause iLwill bruise the grass
According to Toma when buying amower for a bermudagrass dont use a five-bladed belt-driven reel mower because itchews up the gras For bermudcgrass use ascvcn- nine- or eleven-blade mower Whenmowing bluegrass at I lZ inch cut aseven- or ninebladed mower is not going todo anything because its llist fanning thegrass User have to learn which luwnmowcrLa use said Ioma For Bermuda get a nine-bladed For bluegrass users CHI go up to asix-blade hili not a nine-blade or eleven-blade
Most nigh schools or colleges basedon budget have to go with a good rotarymower said Tamil But they will do okayif they keep it sharp and use a bag attach-ment
The majority of the JIlowmg of ourathletic fields is done with rotary mowerssaid Vas ~A typical non-touruameut weekconsists of mowing 110 acres of athleticfields and 175 acres overall per week Thereel mower is used for tournaments andduring high schoolcollege soccer and soft-ball season This allows us to mow at alower neignt of turf achieve a higher quali-ty of cut and create a variety of mowingpatterns durillg tbe gamesnoumaments lf Ihad the hours and equipment available Iwould mow all uf our athletic fields all sea-son long with reel mowers
Looking to the futureAccording to Tome no matter what
type of mower is purchased groundskeepersneed to mainf-ain high standards
One uf tile best groundkeepers in thegame is Alan Sigwardt ill Miami He hasbaseball soccer football and concerts andhe also hns 10 put lip with about 90 inchesof rain per year said Ibrna IIe told methat if we groundkeepcrs dont ~traightenup thai were going to be out of a lobbecause everyone will go back 10 synthct-I(S
Torr-a said that fields are getting so badthat n lot of cui leges and universities arechanging to synthetics For example $7million was spent dnnng the past 3 yems onthe field at The Meadowlands and yet play-ers again voted it the worst playing surfacein the league
