Really really thick st. augustine lawn
Guys: I know that this does not have anything to do with bananas but I need some advice. I live in south Louisiana and have a very very thick st. augustine lawn. In fact, it is so thick that my self-propel lawnmower has now become a push mower. Do any of you have any experiences using a reel mower. 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

Re: Really really thick st. augustine lawn
I used to have a powered reel mower, loved it, but used it on a different grass and for different reason (dwarf tiff maybe, a very fine Bermuda type, and used it to make a putting green type surface for "killer croquet"). Never tried one in taller thicker grass like St Aug. The reel mowers may be designed more for low cutting. They do have good power pull tho.

Re: Really really thick st. augustine lawn
Some of the Husqvarna lawn tractors have locking differential. You might look into those. Have you tried the zero turn mowers? We use to live in Jacksonville. St. Augustine grass was hard to beat.
