RL20 Commercial Reel Mower
The RL20 Reel Mower is a commercial mower fitted with a 20″ blade. As with every California Trimmer we’ve made throughout the decades, you’ll find it is made with precision design and quality craftsmanship, resulting in ultimate mowing performance. And for an even greater degree of cutting precision, California Trimmers come equipped with either a 5 or 7 blade configuration depending on your type of grass and mowing preferences.
California Trimmer reel mowers will provide you with a healthy lawn that has the look of a finely manicured golf course. Reel-type mowers cut like a pair of scissors – the blades of grass are cut between the moving reel and a stationery cutter bar that sits along the bottom front edge of the frame – unlike a standard rotary mower which tears and rips the grass, removing nutrients and causing browns spots, rough growth and thatch. The clean, precise cut from a reel mower allows your lawn to better retain moisture and nutrients, resulting in healthy growth and less maintenance.
Powered By Honda
California Trimmer commercial reel mowers are powered by the quiet, powerful and lightweight Honda engines. They offer superior fuel economy, lower noise levels, lower vibration, and lower emissions than other engines in their class without sacrificing power output or performance. The precision camshaft design offers precise valve timing and optimal valve overlap, plus the engine boasts a high compression ratio, all of which result in better fuel efficiency. Plus, with new enhancements to the muffler, breather valve, and case cover, noise levels have been reduced dramatically. These solid and efficient engines will perfectly complement the superior craftsmanship and durability of your California Trimmer.
All California Trimmer reel mowers have been designed for ease of operation, durability and high performance:
- Materials are delivered forward into the catcher instead of backward toward the operator
- The large HDPE (high-density polyethylene) grass catcher comes standard and saves many stops and starts
- The high-speed reel produces a neat lawn, smooth as carpet and free of reel marks
- Fingertip controls allow ease and safety of operation
- The machine weight is well balanced for easy maneuverability
- Chain and belt guards for safety
- Heavy duty roller drive for positive traction and mobility
