Hi All,
Does anybody know where I could purchase a reel lawn mower in the UK. I
have
found loads of websites with suppliers in the USA but none in the UK.
TIA

Cylinder reefers to the Blades be it 3. 4 5 or 6 to the Cylinder.
I think you are thinking of a mower without a back roller.

I was envisaging some sort of array of scissors on wheels...

Do a Google.co.uk search for "hand mowers" and plenty turn up.
