CONFIGURATION CONSIDERATIONS
Standard vs High-Cut
Dependent on a lot of factors specific to your own situation, but in general, warm-season grass types tend to need the Standard's cutting height range, while cool-season grass types tend to need the High-Cut version. If you're cutting below about 1.25", consider the Standard, if you're cutting above an 1.25", consider the High-Cut. A cutting height chart can be found in the operators manual for reference.
Front Roller
The primary purpose of a front roller is to support the mower by maintaining a consistent height of cut - especially important on/over uneven ground, more forgiving than caster wheels as they are independent from each other and can more easily find divots, pits, etc.. Rollers can help reenforce the "stripe" effect after the initial mow, but the front roller's job is mechanical, not aesthetic.
Grooved Roller - Best for:
- wet or soft turf
- newly established lawns
- reducing slippage
- helping to maintain a consistent height of cut
- reducing the roller's contact area
- cool-season grasses (helps with tracking)
Smooth Roller - Best for:
- dry, firm turf
- well-established lawns
- slightly more pronounced stripes (secondary purpose, and dependent on grass
height)
- routine mowing on well-maintained, level areas
- ultra-low cutting heights
- warm-season grasses
Reel
The Crossover model can be outfitted with either a 7-blade for
the Standard version, or a 7- or 5-blade for the High-Cut version.
7-blade - Best for:
- lower mowing heights - typically under 1.5"
- fine-bladed grasses such as Bermuda, Zoysia, and bentgrass
- providing a finer, smoother cut (great for refined looks)
- reducing "waviness", and the need for a second cut when going lower
- regular mowing multiple times during the week
5-blade - Best for:
- taller mowing heights - typically 1.5" and up (High-Cut only)
- cool-season and denser grasses such as KBG, Fescue, Rye, and their blends.
- handling chunkier, wetter, or more overgrown grasses with greater ease
- minimal weekly mowing

Description
The California Trimmer Crossover battery-electric reel mower stands at the forefront of lawn care innovation, designed for those who demand precision and efficiency in their yard maintenance.
At its core, the mower features a 20-inch, 7-blade reel that ensures a clean, golf-course-like finish on your lawn, cutting cleanly through both fine and thick turfs with unparalleled precision. This is complemented by a covered catcher that simplifies cleanup by neatly collecting clippings as you mow, making for a tidy lawn with minimal effort.
The mower's stability and even cutting capability are further enhanced by a front roller, preventing scalping and promoting a healthier, more even lawn surface. Powering this advanced tool is a high torque brushless motor, which offers the dual benefits of longevity and efficiency.
This motor ensures consistent, powerful performance and quieter operation, all while reducing the need for frequent maintenance. The mower's endurance is bolstered by two 56V 5AH batteries, allowing extended mowing sessions without the interruption of recharging.
This feature makes the California Trimmer Crossover ideal for larger lawns or extensive mowing tasks, providing a blend of performance, convenience, and quality that sets it apart in the realm of lawn care technology.
Living in Texas not too many folks cut their lawns like a golf course, but I wanted to. This machine is great for any lawn, it cuts perfectly every pass.
I was very pleased with the quality of the cut compared to the golf course greens walk behind reel mowers I have used all of my career.
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

- UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP: superior craftsmanship will ensure that your California Trimmer will still be manicuring beautiful lawns long after your old rotary mower has been retired.

FAQ
Answers to commonly asked questions.
What is a Reel Mower?
A reel mower is a manually operated lawn mower that cuts grass with a scissor-like action of blades rotating around a cylinder. It's eco-friendly, quiet, and ideal for achieving a precise, clean cut on your lawn.
Why Choose a California Trimmer Reel Mower?
California Trimmer reel mowers are designed with quality, durability, and performance in mind. Our mowers provide a superior cut, promoting healthy lawn growth. They are easy to use, environmentally friendly, and require minimal maintenance.
What Types of Lawns are Best Suited for a California Trimmer Reel Mower?
California Trimmer reel mowers are perfect for small to medium-sized lawns with relatively flat terrain. They are especially effective on grass types that benefit from a precise cut, such as Bermuda, Zoysia, and Kentucky Bluegrass.
How Do I Choose the Right Model?
Consider the size of your lawn, the type of grass, and the level of precision you desire. Our models vary in cutting width and features to suit different needs. For detailed advice, visit our "Model Comparison" page or contact our customer service.
How Do I Maintain My Reel Mower?
Maintaining your California Trimmer reel mower involves regular cleaning, blade sharpening, and checking for loose parts. We recommend sharpening the blades at least once per season and after every 25 hours of use. Detailed maintenance instructions are provided in the user manual.
Can I Adjust the Cutting Height?
Yes, all California Trimmer reel mowers come with adjustable cutting heights. This allows you to customize the grass length to your lawn's specific needs and to adapt to different seasons.
Are Reel Mowers Safe to Use?
Reel mowers are very safe when used correctly. They do not eject debris like rotary mowers can. Always follow the safety instructions in the user manual, such as wearing closed-toe shoes and checking the lawn for stones or sticks before mowing.
