Product Info
Professional Precision Reel Mower | Mclane 20 Inch Reel Mower
Sub-Inch Cutting Accuracy for Golf-Course Quality Lawns

Standard lawn maintenance often fails to provide the razor-sharp finish required for premium southern grass varieties. The Mclane 20 Reel Mower is specifically designed to handle the ultra-low cutting heights required for Bermuda and Zoysia, delivering a manicured finish that rotary mowers simply cannot replicate.
This series offers multiple configurations, including front wheel models for standard use and the Greens Keeper edition for specialized putting surfaces. The Mclane 20 Reel Mower utilizes induction heat-treated components to ensure that the bed knife and reel maintain their precision edge through seasons of heavy use.
Whether you choose the Briggs & Stratton 5.5 GT engine or the commercial-grade Honda GX120 and GX160 powerplants, you are guaranteed reliable torque. These engines drive a rear roller system that provides constant traction, allowing the mower to glide across your lawn while delivering a uniform frequency of clip.
The Greens Keeper model is distinguished by its 10-blade reel, which provides the high-density cutting required for Bentgrass and hybrid Bermuda. This configuration, paired with a grooved front roller, ensures the grass blades are lifted and cut cleanly rather than being flattened by the weight of the machine.
Durability is a core component of the all-steel heavy-duty chassis, which is finished with a polyester powder coat to prevent corrosion from moisture and lawn chemicals. The inclusion of ball-bearing steel wheels ensures that the mower remains easy to push, even when the high-capacity grass catcher is full.
Operating the unit is simplified by the Touch-A-Matic clutch, which gives the user granular control over engine engagement. By combining belt and chain drives, these mowers offer a smooth, vibration-reduced experience that makes maintaining a professional-grade lawn a straightforward and rewarding task.
Why Choose The Mclane 20 Inch Reel Mower?
Ultra-Low Cutting Capability
This mower is engineered to cut as low as 1/8 of an inch, which is essential for maintaining golf-quality greens or lawn bowling surfaces. This precision allows you to achieve a level of turf thickness and smoothness that is impossible with residential rotary equipment.
10-Blade Greens Keeper Configuration
The high blade count on the Greens Keeper model provides a superior "frequency of clip," meaning the grass is cut more times per forward inch. This eliminates the "washboarding" effect and leaves behind a surface that is as smooth as a putting green.
Integrated Grooved Roller
The grooved front roller is a critical feature that allows grass to stand up between the grooves before it hits the reel. This ensures a more consistent cut and prevents the front of the mower from pushing the grass down, which often results in an uneven finish.
Commercial Engine Options
You can tailor your mower's performance by choosing between the dependable Briggs & Stratton 5.5 GT or the legendary Honda GX120 and GX160 commercial engines. These powerplants are designed for easy starting and consistent output under the high loads of reel mowing.
American-Made Durability
These mowers are manufactured in the USA using heavy-duty steel components and induction-hardened blades. This industrial-grade construction means your mower will outlast standard consumer models while providing a better cut every single time.
Rear Roller Traction
The rear roller drive system provides superior traction compared to side-wheel mowers, especially on lush, thick turf. This ensures that the mower maintains a steady speed, which is vital for achieving a uniform and professional-looking stripe on your lawn.
Thatch-Deterring Bed Knife
The specialized bed knife design is intended to penetrate slightly deeper, helping to deter the buildup of thatch. By managing thatch levels during every mow, you promote better water and nutrient absorption, leading to a healthier and greener lawn.
