I have read several articles saying that the reel mower will work in very thick st. aug. lawns. I am open to any advice especially since I don't want to die cutting my grass. I have to cut my grass on the highest level that the mowers has and it still can't pull through the grass. Open to advice. Thanks and have a great day, Pete
