Reels and bedknives are important components of lawn mowers. The reel is a cylindrical device that houses a series of blades that rotate to cut the grass. Bedknives are stationary blades that sit underneath the reel and provide a cutting edge for the reel blades. The interaction between the reel and bedknife determines the quality of the cut.

The quality of the cutting edge on both the reel and bedknife is important. A sharp cutting edge will provide a clean cut, reducing the risk of grass blades tearing or being bruised, which can lead to disease and damage. Regular maintenance of both the reel and bedknife will ensure they are in good condition for optimal performance.

Choosing the right reel and bedknife combination for your lawn mower is important too. Factors such as grass type, mowing height and frequency should be taken into consideration. A good combination will provide a clean and precise cut, leaving your lawn looking neat and well-manicured.
