Cutting System, Fiskars Exclusive
What is it? Fiskars’ exclusive StaySharp
™
Cutting System uses precision-
ground, hardened steel blades engineered to efciently cut grass without
actually touching, greatly reducing friction and blade wear.
How is it different? Standard reel mowers rely on contact between the cutting
reel and stationary blade for cutting. This steel-on-steel contact creates friction
and causes blade wear. As a result, the blades on standard reel mowers dull
quickly and require costly annual sharpening to maintain peak performance.
Why is it important? Since the StaySharp
™
Cutting System cuts grass
without the blades touching, friction and blade wear are greatly reduced.
As a result, long-lasting performance is maintained without the cost and
inconvenience of annual blade sharpening.
InertiaDrive
™
Reel, Patent Pending
What is it? Fiskars’ patent-pending InertiaDrive
™
Reel combines a large-
diameter cutting reel and thic k blades to store energy (like a ywheel) until a
burst of extra cutting power is needed.
How is it different? Standard reel mowers use small-diameter cutting reels
with thin blades. These reels and mowers lack cutting power and frequently
jam when cutting small twigs, weeds or d ense grass. When this happens
the cutting reel seizes, completely stopping the mower. The obstruction
must be removed before mowing can resume.
Why is it impo rtant? InertiaDrive
™
Reel uses the mower’s large-diameter
cutting reel and heavy blades to store energy (like a ywheel) until a burst
of extra cutting power is needed. When a tough spot is encountered , the
InertiaDrive
™
Reel delivers twice the energy to power through without
jamming — providing a superior cut without interruption.
VersaCut
™
Technology, Patent Pending
What is it? Fiskars’ patent-pending VersaCut
™
Technology uses a unique
front-wheel cut height adjustment to lift the entire cutting system and maintain
superior blade positioning to provide maximum cutting versatility for all types
of grass and mowing habits.
How is it different? Standard reel mowers use a rear-wheel cut height
adjustment that relies solely on bed knife rotation around the reel. This severely
limits both the maximum cut height and range of cut height and, as a result,
limits the types of grass that can be cut.
Why is it important? VersaCut
™
Technology provides the greatest cut range
of any reel mower with 1" to 4" cut height settings. The 4" maximum cut height
is vital when a week of mowing is missed. Moreover, VersaCut
™
Technology’s
superior blade positioning and the extra cutting power of InertiaDrive
™
Reel
combine to effectively cut both cool and warm season grasses, inc luding
tough southern varieties. VersaCut
™
Technology also enables one-touch
height adjustment for easier, more comfortable use.
Inset Wheel Design, Fiskars Exclusive
What is it? Fiskars’ Inset Wheel Design incorporates chain drive to allow
the cutting blades to be positioned in front of the drive wheels and extend
across the full width of the mower.
How is it different? Standard reel mowers use gears to transfer rotation
from the drive wheels to the cutting reel. This requires the cutting blades to
be inside the drive wheels, rather than extended across the full width of the
mower. Consequently, standard reel mowers cannot cut across their entire
width, making close edging impossible and leaving 3" wide uncut strips
under each wheel.
Why is it important? Since the Inset Wheel design allows the cutting
blades to extend across the full width of the mower, there are no uncut
strips under the wheels. It also allows the mower to edge closer than any
other reel mower.
