Product Description

From the Manufacturer

McLane - manufacturing the best quality, precision cutting lawn and garden equipment since 1946. The McLane facility covers over 75,000 square feet in the city of Paramount, CA. They only use Briggs & Stratton and Honda high performance engines. McLane produces reel mowers, green mowers, rotary mowers, and edgers. Reel mowers are ideal for cutting Bermuda and St. Augustine type grasses. Rotary mowers tear at the grass, leaving them open to disease. Reel mowers snip the grass, cutting each blade like a pair of scissors. It's a precise, clean cut that makes for a healthier and more attractive lawn. And because of the cutting action of a reel mower you can leave reel clippings on the lawn. Reel mowers create a fine spray of clippings that act as a mulch and decompose quickly, releasing nitrogen into the lawn. Over the course of a cutting season, that mulch is equivalent to a free application of fertilizer. McLane has many dealers and distributors located nation wide for your convenience. For a McLane dealer in your area please contact us by phone at [phone] or email [e-mail].

This review is from: McLane 25-8.25GT-7 25-Inch 8-1/2 HP Briggs & Stratton Gas-Powered Self-Propelled 7-Blade Front-Throw Reel Mower with Grass Catcher (Lawn & Patio)

For the money, its OK, but I have some issues with the design. The fact that their is one clutch that engages both the blades and the drive wheels is not a good design, but apparently a separate clutch for each is more expensive to build, judging from the price of McLane's competitor, Tru-Cut. Also, the clutch is nothing more than a tensioner on a pulley. The Briggs and Straton engine starts first time, every time and does not labor one bit. Yesterday while cutting, I found a bearing in the grass. Looks like it came from my mower as it is the same type bearing I see on the front roller, so not I have a puzzle to solve. Obviously this adventure has just begun.
