Reel Grinding Services
Here at Kenney Machinery, we know that a turf maintenance strategy isn’t complete without utilizing high-quality mowing equipment. Reel mowers, like other types of mowers, must have their blades sharpened regularly in order to provide the best possible results. Kenney Machinery has the reel grinding equipment that you need to help your reel mower work as effectively as possible this upcoming season.
How Often Do Reel Blades Need Grinding?
Ultimately, how often you’ll need to sharpen your reel mower blades will depend on how frequently you use the mower. Typically, you should expect to sharpen your blades after about 20-25 hours of usage.
However, when the time comes to sharpen your blades, you might also notice a decrease in the overall effectiveness of the mower. If it’s taking longer than usual to finish mowing an area, or you’re noticing uneven turf heights right after cutting the area, you likely need to sharpen the reel mower blades.
Benefits of Reel Grinding Services
Sharper Reel Blades
It’s no secret that sharper blades produce higher-quality cuts. Having your reel blades sharpened regularly will help you get through your mowing jobs quicker and more effectively. With sharper blades, you’ll have no trouble efficiently getting through even the thickest of turf.
Healthier Grass and Turf
Reel mower blades will, over time, become dull with continued use. Dull blades can result in poor quality of cut which can cause increased disease pressure on the grass. Regularly sharpening your blades will improve the quality of the cut and help your areas remain healthy and well-maintained.
Additionally, you’ll be able to shorten the time that it takes to finish mowing the area. The less time that it takes to mow your turf, the more you’ll save on gas for your turf equipment.
Less Stress on the Mower
Dull blades do not cut nearly as efficiently as sharp blades. As a result, it will likely take longer to finish mowing an area than it might if your blades were regularly sharpened. As you take longer to finish mowing an area, you’re putting more stress on your mower, time after time. Additional stress can cause you to replace the mower sooner than you otherwise would need to.
The Reel Grinding Process With Kenney Machinery
During reel grinding services, we’ll remove any rust or corrosion that might have accumulated on your reel blades throughout the season. Then, we’ll use our specialty tools and equipment to grind and sharpen the blades. After the grinding process has been completed, we’ll re-check the blades to ensure proper reel-to-bedknife clearance.
Providing your reel blades with grinding services every year will ensure proper cuts and help to decelerate wear and tear that could impact the longevity of your equipment. Contact Kenney Machinery today for reel grinding services in Indiana and Kentucky.
