Rough - Reel Mowers For Sale in United Kingdom

About Rough Reel Mowers

Rough reel mowers are typically used in the intermediate rough areas of a golf course where there’s a short transition of grass between the fairway and primary rough. Reel mowers also benefit golfers hitting from fairway surrounds, as they tend to deliver a cleaner, more consistent playing surface than a rough rotary mower. For a clean and crisp course appearance, course managers may also opt to use a rough reel mower in high-traffic areas, primary rough, and courtesy walks.

Rough Reel Mower Features

Reel mowers designed for cutting rough areas typically include easy ways to adjust the height of cut (HOC) with some models being adjustable in thousandths of a millimetre. Contour-following decks are common to quickly adjust to changes in terrain, such as near tree lines and on hillsides. Because golfers may need to hit from the intermediate rough, it’s important for reel mowers to have contour-following capabilities for a consistent surface throughout the course.

Collection & Conditioning

Rough reel mowers may include rear rollers with brushes to prevent the accumulation of grass clippings. By minimizing debris, the rough reel mower can also help to maintain a consistently effective HOC. Fairway conditioners might also be added to further control the playing surface and better control the grain. With additional collection and conditioning features, some rough reel mowers may also be suitable for cutting fairways.
