What is a Gang Mower and Do I Need One?

A gang mower is a combination or "gang" of reel mowers; for example, three together in a staggered formation. This increases the swath of grass that can be cut at one time and decreases the amount of time spent mowing. Most gang mowers would be difficult to push manually, so they're hitched to a small tractor or other motorized vehicle.

Is a Gang Mower Right for You? Gang reel mowers are an excellent choice for anyone with a couple of acres or more to mow. They move gracefully over landscape contours such as ditches or pond edges. Gang mowers do a nicer job than rotary mowers while using less fuel, making less noise, and requiring far less maintenance and upkeep. The Grass is Greener Gang reel mowers cut the grass as a pair a scissors would cut hair, whereas rotary mowers rip and tear the grass. This method reduces the amount of water lost and keeps your grass healthier. The snips of grass disappear into the blades of grass allowing you to efficiently mulch as you mow.

Cutting a Wide Swath

Single reel mowersrange in width from 12- to 24-inches and gang mowers multiply that to as much as 5-feet and up. Some professional models cut a swath over 11-feet. Using a gang reel mower is an economical way to maximize the benefits of reel mowing and get big jobs done in less time.

Gang Up for Better Results

You can mow two or more acres in an hour with a gang mower, so if you have a large acreage and you want to keep your lawn beautiful, a gang reel mower might be just what you've been waiting for. Hitching a combination of reel mowers to your ride will save you money and reduce the resources you use to mow your lawn, including your time.
