Mark - not exactly sure what you mean when you say "cut plain grass". If you mean can you use the BRC-26 to mow your lawn, then no, you would not be able to do that. The blade on the BRC-26 is not intended for a finish cut type look that you'd get from a regular lawn mower, and the shape and design of the deck isn't going to provide proper air flow for a consistent, even cut. This mower will chop down tall, thick grass to a manageable height if that's what you mean, but the resulting cut will not have a neat, even appearance. These mowers are designed for managing overgrown areas that have dense weeds, heavy brush and overgrown vegetation.
