A Ride-on Green Reel Mower is a specialized machine used for maintaining high-quality turf on surfaces like golf course greens, sports fields, and premium lawns . Unlike rotary mowers which cut with a single high-speed horizontal blade, reel mowers utilize a series of blades mounted on a rotating cylinder (reel) that spins against a fixed bed knife, creating a scissor-like action that cleanly shears the grass . This cutting method is gentler on the turf, preventing leaf tearing and promoting a healthier, denser grass surface.

These mowers are “ride-on” models, allowing the operator to drive the machine for efficiency over larger areas . The “Green” in the name often signifies its use on pristine turf or can refer to models powered by electric motors or batteries, offering a quieter and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline engines . By providing an exceptionally even and clean cut, the Ride-on Green Reel Mower is the equipment of choice for achieving professionally groomed turf surfaces.
