Husqvarna 540 Push Reel Mower
by ADMIN on February 2, 2010
The Husqvarna 540 is one of the quietest reel mowers available. It is easy to use and lightweight, but the cutting width is a bit small compared to other mowers.
The 16 inch cutting area cuts about 200 square inches at a time. Compared to a 20 inch mower, this manual mower will take about 40% longer to mow a yard. On the other hand, the small cutting area can be a strength for thick grass because it will be easier to push.
Technical details:
Cutting Width: 16 inch
Weight: 20 lbs
Wheel diameter: 8 inches
Minimum cutting height: 0.5 inch
Maximum cutting height: 1.5 inch
Cutting height settings: 0.25 inch increments
Manufacturer’s warranty: 2 years
Handle: Folding design, soft grip
Ball bearing wheels: Yes
Manufactured in: Sweden
MSRP: $159.95
Special Notes: An optional collector can be attached to the back to collect lawn clippings (or they can be left on the yard to naturally decompose and fertilize the grass).

This mower is the worst ever
Terrible cut ruins the lawn
Check out the Fiskars 6201… lots of incredible reviews, and some innovative engineering to make it easier to use, change heights and get close to mulch beds. No mower is “perfect”, but the Fiskars might be worth my try…
