Smooth or Grooved Roller? Which type is best for reel mowing?

I have been using a smooth roller on my KBG lawn for quite some time, I have decided to try using a grooved roller to see if there is any noticeable difference in cut quality. The grooved roller has a slight advantage over the smooth roller to me, I discuss my take on it in the video. Thanks for watching!

Great video. I have been using my ReelRollers grooved roll for a few weeks now and really like it. I am due for a back-lapping too.

Stop talking it's going to rain! I made my popcorn, been waiting for the next video, and I want to watch you cut your lawn with that roller! I love it. I know about that fish tailing! Great video

I like my grooves roller. It does great on longer passes. It can tend to dig in when mowing sharper turns around tight corners by the flower beds.

Great video! Believe it or not, the diameter of the smooth and grooved is exactly the same at 2.25” OD. Brackets to mount are exactly the same as well. Interesting you adjusted the height, shoot us an email would love to learn more!

To the untrained eye, the grooved roller definitely looks a little bigger than the smooth roller that came with the cal trimmer. That said, I trust your input that they are probably identical measurements.

My factory roller from CT (bought May 2021) is the exact same size as the grooved from RR.

Great review man. Lots of folks goin grooved. I need to get me a backlap in soon. Was the process pretty easy and quick for ya? I’ll be tuning in.

@TurfCulture 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Brother! Backlapping is a piece of cake, takes about 15 minutes. You'll need the drill adapter and some backlapping compound, I got my kit from Cal Trimmer.

Great job on the review Brandon. I like those groove rollers but have never owned one. The Allett has a built in grass rake that combs the blades before they are cut. I agree with you that burning in the stripes look great for the short term but don't like the flat look myself. I mow 3-4 times a week and always mow in the opposite direction to lift the blades back up. To me no matter what HOC you are mowing when the blades stand straight up like a push broom and the lawn is still striped there is no better look than that coming from a guy who has been striping with the Big League striping kit since 2006.

Hey there! 2 years later, I wanted to at least make this comment. If you put your hand behind the blade of grass, that will allow the camera to focus much better. Loved the video, even in 2023. Thanks! Hope you're doing great.
