✂️ Cutting Performance
The S17’s 9-blade reel produces one of the cleanest cuts available in a homeowner mower.
Unlike rotary mowers that tear grass with high-speed blades, the reel cuts using a:
“scissor action”
Benefits include:
- Cleaner grass blade tips
- Reduced browning after mowing
- Healthier turf growth
- Professional striped appearance
- Excellent results on fine ornamental lawns
The 9-blade design is particularly effective when mowing:
✅ Kentucky Bluegrass
✅ Perennial Ryegrass
✅ Fine Fescue
✅ Bentgrass
✅ Hybrid Bermuda (maintained low)
🏌️ Ideal for Golf-Course Style Lawns
The S17 excels when:
- Lawn is mowed frequently
- Grass is maintained relatively short
- Surface is reasonably level
- Owner wants premium presentation
