These mowers are specifically engineered for premium turf varieties like Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ultra 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 Ultra 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 Ultra 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\/16\" while maintaining the ability to height-adjust up to 1-3\/4\" for seasonal transitions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-9 citation-end-9\"\u003eUnlike the Classic and Low-Cut Series, the Ultra Low-Cut Series incorporates an upgraded bedknife. This is the same bedknife present in the top-of-the-line Greenskeeper 2, and is a critical component in delivering an ultra low-cut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Ultra Low-Cut Series configuration, the 10-blade reel shines with ultra low grass. If you are keeping your lawn in the 3\/16\" to 3\/4\" range this is a crucial upgrade. A 10-blade reel hits the grass 42% more often than a 7-blade reel at the same ground speed - delivering a higher clip rate. This prevents \"washboarding,\" the tiny ripples a 7-blade reel can leave at very low heights. Because of the more frequent cutting, you can also walk slightly faster without sacrificing the quality of the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ultra 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 Ultra 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 heights (lowest possible cut is 3\/16\")\u003c\/strong\u003e (ideal cut height 3\/16\" to 3\/4\").\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\u003e10-Blade reel: Shines with low lawns (3\/16\" to 3\/4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScissor-Like Cutting: An induction heat-treated Armor-Plate® reel and upgraded Greenskeeper-style 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":44959321096374,"sku":"M20-10-550-ULC","price":2301.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20\" Width w\/ Honda 4hp","offer_id":44959321129142,"sku":"M20-10-120-ULC","price":2567.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25\" Width w\/ B\u0026S 6.5hp","offer_id":44959321161910,"sku":"M25-10-950-ULC","price":2567.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25\" Width w\/ Honda 5.5hp","offer_id":44959321194678,"sku":"M25-10-160-ULC","price":2833.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/4148\/9232\/files\/20-4G-7-GR1_4c84e135-7a6c-416d-8b31-524983a3e029.png?v=1772952175","url":"https:\/\/profast.shop\/products\/mclane-reel-mower-ultra-low-cut-to-3-16-10-blade-grvd-front-roller","provider":"Profast USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
