I hope they have resolved it on those manufactured more recently.

After putting it off for a while I finally wrote back to Fiskars demanding a refund. They stated that they “did have some mowers early on that did have clutch problems such as you describe.” They wouldn’t refund my money, but did send a replacement chassis. I haven’t assembled or used it yet. My wife took our old pushreel mower in for a tune up. I’ve only used it once so far, but it was great! I don’t think it worked as well when it was new. Definitely not as easy to use as the Fiskars mower, but from my experience it is clearly more reliable. I’ll probably put the Fiskars together at some point as a backup in case something with my other one goes wrong.

Did Fiskars ever get back to you? We just started selling the Momentum mower and hope that I can turn to Fiskars if we ever have a similar problem with any of our customer’s mowers. Did you ever try and reach out to the retailer whom you bought it from? They can sometimes help expedite a reply from the manufacturer. I plan on purchasing one as soon as the sow melts in MN and hope I don’t run into similar problems.

Thanks for the advice.

The dent was caused by the blade coming in contact with the cutting bar. I ended up spending a few hours filing and adjusting and filing some more. When I thought I had it working ok I used it again. On the second trip out…another loud bang, more contact, and more damaged blades. I’m convinced that I either have a defective unit or there is a design flaw here. My Scott push reel lasted 6 seasons. Fiskars didn’t even last a single mowing on the same lawn.

To do that to flame hardened steel would seem to require a hell of a knock on something… did you hit a rock or a concrete edge or something to do that?

It is lovely to hear that you had such a great experience at my alma mater. I can vouch that the clinical experience gained there was extremely valuable to my future practice. I hope you found further aid for your health issues. Thank you for expressing your support for naturopathic medicine.

My lawn is completely flat.

Is your lawn also on a slope?

Have anyone had experience using a reel mower on a steep slope? Any input helps. Thanks.

Somehow, it sunk into psych and started making me crazy. I think it was three weeks of that sander made me sensitive now it is everything and it is ALL DAY long. Wonder if could orchestrate a weekend ‘operating hours’. Gas power tools Saturday 11am to 3pm and Sunday is a quiet day.
Why is a person’t right to silence superseded by someone else’s right to run a pressure washer for 10 hours that can be heard in a 2 mile radius?
