    I'm looking for a tow behind American Made 3 - Gang Reel Mower for the RTV or the Rhino for next year.

    Instead of buying a riding lawnmower, we would like something that we could use mowing the lawn and trails. With the loss of trees from bugs, storms and clearing, it's getting greener back here and that includes the trails.

    Reel mowers need clean clean lawns without limbs and twigs. Also they typically are set up to handle a very uniform grass type/density. Bluegrass/centipede grass mowers have more blades than those designed for fescue and other cool season grasses.

    I don’t think anything cuts as nice as a reel mower set up properly!

    Shoot, I was hoping for a pull behind thing for our quad, neither of us can mow now, but our property is 75% weeds with some lake grass dispersed throughout. TBH, many years we only need one mow/weed whack per year, sometimes 2. I'll work on finding hired help again.

    wildwest they make self powered tow behind rotary mowers aka bush hogs you can tow behind the atv. Look at DR power they have lots of options to get you started. Another option is a flail mower they are slower, take more hp to run but typically leave a better finish as they shred into smaller pieces. I don’t know if they make a tow behind unit.
