The best maintenance for your reels
Mowing has a direct and big impact on the grass of your sport pitch or golf course. This is why you should always take optimal care of your mowers. Also it is advisable to sharpen or replace your reels regularly. A clean cut is vital to keep your grass in a healthy condition.
If your sport pitch or golf course is mowed with a dull blade, the resistance of the plant against disseases, drought, and temperature extremes will be lowered. Dull blades tear the leafs instead of cutting them. There are two ways to keep your reel sharp.
The first method to keep your reel sharp
There is light contact between the blade en the bedknife. You can regularly sharpen the reels by backlapping them. Using a small amount of backlappaste let the blade go counterclockwise and the blades of the bedknife and reel will be sharp again.
The second method is also known as the noncontact method
There is no contact between the blade and the bedknife and the room between the two is equal to the thickness of a sheet of paper. Every thirty days the reel is sharpened to keep it in tip top condition. The bedknife should also be sharpened regularly with a front face. This is a sharpening device that is magnetically attached to the bedknife. It restores the original angle of the bed knife.
