How it works

Specialist sharpening

Quality checked before it goes back on the truck. Delivered to your door.
What's actually in the service
A proper cylinder mower service isn't a quick once-over with a grinder. The cylinder comes off the mower, gets sharpened on specialist cylinder grinding machinery, then it goes back on and the gap to the bottom blade is set with feeler gauges. The result is the clean scissor cut a cylinder mower is meant to give you.
Here's everything that's included:
Specialist cylinder grinding
Each spiral blade ground evenly on dedicated cylinder machinery. The kind of finish a hand file can't match.
Cylinder setting
Feeler gauges, fraction-of-a-millimetre adjustments, until the cylinder just kisses the bottom blade along its full length.
Bottom blade check
If it's worn out we'll tell you, and quote a replacement before we proceed. We stock the common ones.
Full engine service
Oil, plug, air filter, fuel system clean. The engine bit that everyone forgets about. Included.
Adjustment & lubrication
Cables, throttle, drive systems checked and lubricated. The little things that make a mower feel like new.
Quality check before return
Inspection before it goes back on the truck. We make sure the work meets our standards before delivery.

Common questions from Winthrop customers
Do you service cylinder mowers in Winthrop?
Yes. Winthrop is well within our service area along with the rest of the Canning region. Book online or call us on (08) 9444 1284 and we'll arrange pickup.
Is a reel mower the same thing as a cylinder mower?
Yep. Reel mower is the American name, cylinder mower is what we tend to call them in Australia. Same machine. Same service. So if you've been searching for "reel mower repair near me" or "reel mower sharpening", you're in the right place.
Do you sharpen cylinders by hand or with a machine?
Specialist cylinder grinding machinery. A bench grinder or hand file can't get a long cylinder evenly sharp along its full length, and any unevenness shows up as patches in your cut. Proper cylinder machinery does.
How much will it cost?
Give us a call on (08) 9444 1284 for a quote. We charge a flat rate for the general service, which covers pickup, delivery, sharpening, setting and a complete engine service.
If we find something extra wrong (bottom blade worn out, drive belt gone, that kind of thing) we'll ring you with a quote before we do anything. You decide whether to proceed.
How often should I get it sharpened?
Once a year for most home cylinder mowers. Late winter is the best time, so it's ready when spring growth kicks in.
Bowling clubs and sporting greens usually need cylinder service two to four times a year depending on how hard they're being used.
What brands do you service?
All the common ones: Bushranger (the 410CM is everywhere in Perth), Scott Bonnar, Mountfield, Masport, Atco, Greenfield. Vintage cylinder mowers too. If you're not sure, give us a call on (08) 9444 1284 and we'll tell you whether we can help.
