Reel push lawn mowers not just for the home lawn

Reel push lawn mowers have another great application in small businesses, municipal services and lawn care companies. In using these reel lawn mowers you will save money in several different ways, help be green, safer, and possibility to attract new customers.

I have a friend that runs a small accounting firm. He has a strip of grass in the front of his business and a small square in the back for a break area. He was paying someone $3200 a year to take care of this for him. I talked him in to purchasing a reel push lawn mower in the $289.00 range to take care of this.

What work’s great for him is several things.

• One the reel push lawn mower uses no gas or oil. There is no worry of where to store fuel and your hands stay clean.

• The reel push lawn mower is small enough to hang it up in a broom closet.

• There is minimum liability with reel push lawn mowers because of no danger of flying sticks or rocks.

• Because reel push lawn mowers are quite mowing can be done any time of day without disruption.

• Reel push lawn mower helps in being green and most of his customers like this.

• He has a couple of employee’s that find this very rewarding to get away from the desk and spend a few minutes mowing the grass.

In the lawn care business some of the same thing holds true and more. They are not for every job but great for some, you weigh the different.

• Using these reel push lawn mowers helps you to be green. This is a great way to help advertise your business and your customer can use it also. In some cases you may be able to charge more for being green.

• Be able to carry less equipment to the job site. No trailer needed.

• Save time because you can put a reel push lawn mower in the back of a small pickup with on gas or oil to spill. This will save time finding a place to park with a trailer, time in loading and unloading and waiting for customers to clear the area.

These reel push lawn mowers are not going to be for every job or every business but they do offer you the opportunity to save some money. I think you will be surprised on how your employees will enjoy using a reel push lawn mower.

It is worth taking a look at what your business has to mow and cost. The better reel push lawn mowers that would handle more abuse are $289.00 to $300.00.
