Roller mower

Good rollermowers can produce a finish rivalling that of reel (cylinder) mowers while generally being far more robust and requiring considerably less maintenance.

Modern machines can also cope efficiently with a wider range of grass lengths and densities than cylinder mowers.

[citation needed] The original developer of the rollermower is uncertain, but Howard Rotavator Pty Ltd manufactured and sold the 72RLM (later the HS20RLM/180) Rollamowa in Australia from the early 1970s.

[citation needed] These were linkage-mounted three-spindled rotary mowers with a cutting width of 1.8m (72”).

These included Major Equipment in the United Kingdom, which manufactures roller mowers for sports pitches, golf courses, racecourses, and lawns.
