Reel Mowers
Groomers and Thatchers
Groomers are intended to cut stolons, promote
upright growth and stand grass up for a more
uniform cut.
Warm season grasses such as Bermuda grass and
others, but also Creeping Bentgrass, which is
considered a cool season grass, all benefit from the
use of groomers on a regular basis.
One word of caution; groomers are used in a
straight line. Turning or engaging the turf with
groomers on cleanup passes can cause some
serious issues.
Groomer
A new variation is the Broomer. The brush helps to
stand the grass up better than the blades alone,
along with knocking off dew to reduce clumping.
Because of the stoloniferous growth of some
cultivars, the turf tends to be “grainy” as can be
seen in the photo.
