Reel Speed Chart
The speed of the reel can be adjusted on some machines. As we have discussed, it is important that the reel
speed be matched with the number of reel blades and the forward speed of the tractor.

Grass density, and grain, can affect reel mower
cutting results. Grass grows denser at lower heights
of cut. The denser the grass, the easier it is for the
reel mower to cut it with good results.
