During the winter the cutting units on the mowers are taken apart, cleaned, de-greased, and moving parts are replaced if needed. After the reels are reassembled we grind the reel and bedknife.
We have 35+ reels here and each reel is in a maintenance rotation because the work is time consuming and we have found that a tear down is required every 3 years except on certain pieces which get the treatment everyother year.
All the reels get sharpened during the offseason and our maintenance schedule seems to find problems before they are problems saving us from in season breakdowns.
