Reel Advantages
Reel mowers will provide healthy grass that has the look of a finely manicured golf course, and they are especially ideal for hybrid Bermuda, tiffs, bent, and zoysia grasses. They have superior dual edge cutting action because they shear the grass with a clean, sharp cut like scissors instead of bludgeoning and tearing off the ends of the grass blades like the machete cut of a
rotary mower. When grass is sheared in a clean, smooth manner, nutrients are locked in promoting healthy growth and resistance to disease.
Reel Advantages
Grass experts recommend cutting less than 1/3 of the total length at one time, and the complete clean cutting action of the reel blade and bedknife releases less moisture and results in clippings that are like confetti and less prone to clumping and clogging like grass cut by a rotary mower. With frequent mowing, it’s usually possible to cut without the catcher because the clippings disappear into the lawn and serve as an effective mulch. A lawn that has been cut by a reel mower looks beautiful and green instead of a brownish-yellow tint from the torn leaf ends that comes from the inefficient cutting method of a rotary mower which means less maintenance and more compliments.

California Trimmer
Great mower , couldn't be more happy , lifetime product, professional...
This product is perfect easy to use and great features, CUT TO PERFECTION!!!
I own two Mclane reel mowers and two California trimmer reel mowers. The California trimmers are of far better quality and performance. Plus the Trimmers are far easier to lap and adjust the blades when sharpening.
Bought this to take my Bermuda to the next level. Very easy to use and produces a beautiful cut. Couldn't be happier
Excellent Equipment. Looks Like It Is Built To Last.
Best mower I have ever used including the best John Deere. The Honda motor is smooth running and easy to start. Extension kit instructions were easy to follow , and components are very well designed and constructed. A little maintenance and the California Trimmer will last a lifetime
