{"product_id":"mclane-reel-mower-low-cut-to-3-8-7-blade-grooved-front-roller","title":"McLane Reel Mower Low-Cut (to 3\/8\") - 7-Blade, Grooved Front Roller","description":"\u003cp\u003eMcLane Walk Behind Reel Mowers are \u003cstrong\u003emanufactured in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e and designed for precision cutting, durability, and long-term reliability. These mowers are specifically engineered for premium turf varieties like Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Low-Cut Series are equipped with a grooved front roller - the preferred upgrade for managing high-end turf. It acts as a leveler, ensuring the reel stays at a consistent height even if the soil is uneven, and limits scalping. The grooves lift the grass between them so the reel can slice it cleanly, delivering a precise cut and professional stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Low-Cut Series grooved front roller has a few drawbacks. It is heavier and makes the mower harder to turn at the end of a row. Caster wheels will usually be a better fit if you have a lot of landscaping obstacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a standard frame, the Low-Cut Series features a lowered rear axle position. \u003cspan class=\"citation-9 citation-end-9\"\u003eThis allows for a precision cut as low as 3\/8\" while maintaining the ability to height-adjust up to 1-3\/4\" for seasonal transitions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Low-Cut Series configuration, the 7-blade reel shines with low-to-medium-height grass. If you are keeping your lawn in the 3\/8\" to 1\" range, the larger spacing between blades (in comparison to a 10-blade reel) is better-able to gather the low-to-medium height grass and feed it to the bedknife. With fewer blades and cuts per revolution, the reel is also less likely to \"bog down\" in overgrown grass. This lower clip rate (fewer cuts per inch) is less-suited to ultra-low lawn heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Low-Cut Series has several widths and engine options available. Both the Briggs \u0026amp; Stratton (\"B\u0026amp;S\") and Honda engines are \"industrial-grade\" engines which cannot be found on equipment in big-box retailers. The B\u0026amp;S engines are more economical, and can be easier to work on, but are louder and vibrate more than the Honda engines. The Honda engines carry a premium price, but deliver better starting, lower noise, and longer life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: square;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;S 5.5 GT -- est. 3.5 HP gross -- 127 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda GX120 -- 4.0 HP gross -- 118 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB\u0026amp;S 9.5 GT -- est. 6.5 HP gross -- 208 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda GX160 -- 5.5 HP gross -- 163 cc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Low-Cut Series is an ideal choice for: \u003cstrong\u003ethe cut precision and striping of a grooved roller, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eboth with flat and semi-flat lawns, cutting low-to-medium heights (lowest possible cut is 3\/8\")\u003c\/strong\u003e (ideal cut height 3\/8\" to 1\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: square;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrooved front roller: limits scalping, and delivers precise cuts and professional stripes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-Blade reel: Shines with low-to-medium lawns (3\/8\" to 1\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScissor-Like Cutting: An induction heat-treated Armor-Plate® reel and bedknife for a clean, scissor-like cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTouch-A-Matic® Controls: Engine clutch controls designed for smooth and easy operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive System: A roller drive system provides positive traction, while a belt and chain drive ensures consistent power transfer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth Movement: Equipped with ball bearings on all wheels and reels to extend service life and improve maneuverability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrass Collection: Includes grass catcher with a unique diverter fin design for even grass discharge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety: Fully complies with all Federal Safety Standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McLane","offers":[{"title":"20\" Width w\/ B\u0026S 3.5hp","offer_id":44959320965302,"sku":"M20-7-550-LC","price":1960.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20\" Width w\/ Honda 4hp","offer_id":44959320998070,"sku":"M20-7-120-LC","price":2390.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25\" Width w\/ B\u0026S 6.5hp","offer_id":44959321030838,"sku":"M25-7-950-LC","price":2234.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25\" Width w\/ Honda 5.5hp","offer_id":44959321063606,"sku":"M25-7-160-LC","price":2702.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/4148\/9232\/files\/20-4G-7-GR1.png?v=1772952097","url":"https:\/\/profast.shop\/products\/mclane-reel-mower-low-cut-to-3-8-7-blade-grooved-front-roller","provider":"Profast USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
