What are the two types of mowers mentioned, and which one can be used on Bermuda and Zoysia grass for a finished precision cut?

• A. Cylinder and Reel; Reel
• B. Push and Rotary; Rotary
• C. Rotary and Reel; Reel
• D. Electric and Reel; Reel

Answer: (C)

The important idea here is how different mower designs affect the cut quality. Rotary mowers cut by a spinning blade that chops the grass, which can leave a less uniform surface and more tearing, especially on fine turf. Reel mowers, also called cylinder mowers, use a rotating cylinder of blades that shear the grass against a fixed bed knife. That shearing action produces a clean, very even cut at a precise height, which is ideal for a finished, precision look on warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia. So the two mower types are rotary and reel, and the reel mower is the one best suited for a finished precision cut on Bermuda and Zoysia.
