[@JH-ym7it]

Just pre-ordered my Revolution 26 yesterday. You helped me make my decision. Can't wait...

[@RonHenry]

Congrats!

[@jonathanlee5180]

Just ordered mine today. Can’t wait to for spring to try it out.

[@Sarahsmydog]

@@jonathanlee5180it’s awful I wish I had never wasted money on this thing

[@jimmymiller4732]

Dropped by Reel Rollers early Tuesday afternoon and met with both Lee and Issac for a demonstration on the Revolution. Let me tell you that thing is an absolute BEAST of a machine! What impressed me the most was their brutal honesty with me. Neither felt that this was the best choice for me at this time since I have never owner or operated a reel mower before. It's refreshing to see a business that places an emphasis on what is best for the customer over a sale, Lee felt that it was best for me to consider a smaller unit first such as a California Trimmer or a McLain use it for about a year or so before purchasing this unit, Heck he even recommended a dealer to me that specialized in rebuilt units. Now that's customer service!!!😜

[@RonHenry]

Nice Jimmy!

[@reelrollers]

Jimmy, thank you. Seriously, we just love folks who love to reel mow regardless of brand.

[@brendongruis2335]

I'm curious if the dealer mentioned here that specializes in rebuilt units has a site or online presence at all? The price to entry can be a big roadblock for those considering getting into reel mowing. Myself most definitely included.

[@reelrollers]

@@brendongruis2335love to help, but not sure about rebuilt units. We do not sell rebuilt or used mowers. Facebook marketplace seems to be the place most folks go. At reel rollers we only sell new units.

[@maryj4535]

I've ordered my Revolution 26!! Excited to see my lawn reach the "next level" next year!

[@RonHenry]

Congrats Mary!!!!!

[@TheWindchariot]

I watched the shorts 50 times, thank you so much for these videos today. Hope there is no snow in my area when i receive mine in January, I'll be the only one out mowing😀

[@RonHenry]

Happy the content is helpful Windchariot!

[@dmer91]

This is one of the most satisfying videos I’ve watched, nicely done! We need lawn season to get here! ⛳️

[@RonHenry]

Glad you enjoyed it!

You are a dedicated man answering all 109 comments. ✨

[@RonHenry]

I figure if someone's going to comment, might as well answer it. Appreciate you watching.

[@nehpets2609]

Very excited for this mower, going from a 16” earthwise to this is gonna be such a game changer

[@RonHenry]

Serious upgrade!

[@wcovey25]

Color still looking good, got to enjoy that for the next two months!

[@RonHenry]

Fingers crossed!

[@stevequach1869]

Yes ! Been waiting for this video !

[@RonHenry]

Hope it doesn’t disappoint!

[@uwhynot]

The Revolution is a really nice cut. I think some of the difference is that you've used the Toro longer and you're more comfortable with the machine. The Revolution cut was super nice, I'm considering purchasing it given the cost and quality of cut.

[@RonHenry]

Totally agree!

[@K9388-n3z]

Great review Ron. So glad I already made my purchase. Congrats Lee!

[@RonHenry]

Enjoy it

[@reelrollers]

Thank you and Ron did a great job and was super fair. He did me a solid for taking the time to show it on his steep front yard. That was the question so many had about the Rev

[@chasethompson3685]

Looks like Lee and the boys hit a home run with this mower.

[@RonHenry]

I think people are really going to like it.

[@reelrollers]

Thank you Ron for doing this and we hope it provides homeowners a great option for folks.

[@douglassamuel3943]

I love that new Lawn mower 🌱 , Do you still have your allett? And how do you like it battery powered?

[@RonHenry]

Sure do! Love it.

[@QWill02]

I’m needing a second mower; currently have the Tru-cut 27 inch. Really thinking on getting the Revolution 26.

[@RonHenry]

It would be a nice upgrade.

[@stevequach1869]

Looking from 20 feet away on my phone, the GM side has straighter stripes 😂😂😂.

[@RonHenry]

Blame the operator. I’ve got a lot more experience running the GM than the Revolution 26

[@timborski1210]

GM is prolly heavier too

[@kenwallace6817]

Ron Looks excellent. I Can't wait until mine gets here. Hey, what height did you have the Rev26 at?

[@RonHenry]

.75” same as GM

[@E.ElderGilbert]

Ron does this mower stripes well? Lastly would recommend this mower over a California trimmer?

[@RonHenry]

Yes and Yes. You can see how it stripes in this video.

[@papamowslow196]

This will definitely be my next mower when I by another one. Who knows, it may be by the end of the month.

[@RonHenry]

🤣

[@IanMaschal]

Question, did I miss it? I only saw mowing. I’m looking for a comparison.

[@RonHenry]

That is the comparison. How the 2 mowers cut compared to each other.

[@theunkownmr.562]

With your lawn being so big, do you think youd benefit from using the big 34" Allet?

[@RonHenry]

I have a 27" Allett. Love it.

[@mantha2shashank]

How many do you have, Ron? 😅

[@jashar97]

How well does it handle when you aren't using the clutch bar? In other words, when it's in neutral does it push ok?

[@RonHenry]

Yep. Not difficult to push when it's freewheeling.

[@thimitri1]

Hi Ron.. I'm curious, does the mower still cut paper after mowing your lawn?

[@RonHenry]

I didn’t check. I imagine it would.

[@TwoTrilla]

Ok I feel @Ron Henry is spoiling us today two videos about the revolution 26

[@RonHenry]

I try!

[@freddybaron2494]

How are the stripes compared to the Allett?

[@RonHenry]

Allett stripes better. Much heavier mower.

[@bssmith3333]

Is there a plan in the future to make reels for the Reel Roller with a higher number of blades? I have a 10 blade Mclane Greenskeeper, and I can see a big difference between that, and the GK 7 blade reel. I like the higher number of blades per reel.

[@crockette1962]

I read on their Facebook page reelrollers replied to someone that they're targeting spring. Masport has one so no reason they won't

[@RonHenry]

I'd reach out to Reel Rollers for timeline.

[@LAWN2427]

How is the turn on Rev 26 Does it create Rut if you turn like GM?

[@RonHenry]

Neither of them create ruts

[@Simpleboneguy]

Gosh Ron, how many moweres do you have apart from the Stirling and the C27?

[@RonHenry]

2. Greensmaster 1600 and TruCut C25

[@Simpleboneguy]

@RonHenry you do have a large lawn, makes sense. I'm envious. 😁

[@Jimmy.Miller]

We got blessed with 2 videos today?? 😍😍😍😍 Just my luck this comes out a couple months after I get my GM1000, But I love my 1000. Cant wait to see what Lee has in store with the hinting of a cartridge system in the future!! Then it would be easy to justify 2 reel mowers with my wife! haha

[@RonHenry]

Hope you enjoy it! Wanted to get these out so hence 2 today. No reason to make you guys wait!

[@alandickson1629]

Ron so can this mower cut a lawn if the lawn isn't perfect like yours?

[@RonHenry]

Sure can. You may have to raise the height of cut slightly.

[@alandickson1629]

@@RonHenry I see 1 1/4 is max height. So for a home owner don't you think extendion blocks would be an option?

[@robertrainey906]

Can definitely tell which one the operator has the most hours on. Whip turning that GM! 😉

[@RonHenry]

No doubt. I can run the GM with eyes closed. Not used to try Revolution. Still a great cutting mower.

[@mwoody1958]

Just curious. Do you always bag your clipping with such a short HOC ?

[@RonHenry]

Yes I do!

[@jaykrumme4406]

Love the videos, Ron! Are you going to compare the Revolution 26 with your Allett mower? I have a Greensmaster that I'm looking to replace (it's not easy to maintain or change the cut height). I like the cartridge system with Allett but it's more than twice the cost of the Revolution 26 (I'm looking at the 56v EGO). Thoughts?

[@RonHenry]

Not really planning to compare them Jay because they're not the same. The Allett is more of a swiss army knife because it can do everything. Also given the price point of the C27 Evo, it's not really a meaningful comparison. Most people aren't going to drop 30k on a mower, associated cartridges and supporting equipment to run it. C27 Evo is an incredible machine but it's not a fair comparison to mower with different design ethos.

[@LawnmowerMaster]

Do you run your Greesmaster at full throttle or half?

[@RonHenry]

Full throttle. It's a slower moving mower than the Revolution or the Allett.

[@abhakta002]

It difficult to see from 20 ft away and in camera. Do you have any close up videos that we can compare to?

[@RonHenry]

Just the footage in this video

[@reelrollers]

If you have to crawl on the ground to compare the cuts, we’ve hit a home run 😊

[@Bkennedy84]

Going to run side by side with the Allett?

[@RonHenry]

Maybe at some point. It’s not a fair comparison though. One is strictly a mower, the other a lawn multi-tool

[@Bkennedy84]

@@RonHenry I just want to see that cut comparison. Reel Rollers cartridges may get me hooked!

[@74GILS]

So what your saying is buy the Revo ?

[@RonHenry]

It's not a bad choice if you're in the market for a mower.

[@92boostedh22]

You look way more comfortable behind the Toro. You seem to be chasing the other mower. The Toro makes visibly crisper lines. Nonetheless, the Reel Rollers mower is a win for the American residential mower!

[@RonHenry]

I've been using the Toro for years vs. 6 hours on the Revolution. I outta be more comfy with it. 😎

[@clydesdalelawn]

Why does that one not have the other bar in front of the black handle? Different optioned models? The one on reel roller website has two red handle bars..

[@reelrollers]

Same mower. The front bale on our website images isn’t used and won’t be on the final production mowers.

[@RonHenry]

What Reel Rollers said.

[@alancolemanjr.794]

They both look really good at distance. I'm sure the GM is probably a better cut up very close but not really apples to apples with different clip rates. Hard to go wrong with either one it seems. Budget and hills seem to be top determining factors

[@RonHenry]

That's just it Alan. They are both excellent.

[@waltpage]

Do you plan on comparing this rr rev26 to the rolux equivalent?

[@reelrollers]

I’m sure in the future more videos will be made comparing a lot of the different mowers against one another. I don’t have a Rolux anymore, I sent it to Stewart earlier this year

[@RonHenry]

Probably not. Haven't been asked. I'm sure others will do that review.

[@pizzmo8256]

I bought an allett this year. I looked at the california Trimmer, but it was no contest Allett is a far better machine.

[@RonHenry]

Agreed!

[@TaylorJames188]

GM all day…lawn is looking ridiculous. Great job like always

[@RonHenry]

Thanks Taylor! I spend a lot of time on it. 🙏

[@Darmidont-if2ol]

Чудова робота, дуже гарний газон

[@jperry4409]

Bought a 1026. Best cut ever!

[@RonHenry]

Nice

[@fairwaybermudalawn]

Nice my brother 👍🏾.. thank for sharing ✌🏾

[@RonHenry]

No problem 👍

[@patricksquires77]

Seems to me the RR has a different diameter reel and a variable speed (separate from the drive speed?). These details to me seem to indicate that possibly more options to dial in on the RR and might be hard to compare reels based only on number of blades. Cut looks awesome for the RR to me.

[@RonHenry]

The reel diameter is smaller than many residential reel mowers like the TruCut.

[@ceddy97]

GM all day Big Ron

[@reelrollers]

You’re right, it isn’t a greens mower but I think Ron did an incredible job of being 100% unbiased in showing them side by side. For residential use and the price, The Rev 26 has a lot going for it

[@ceddy97]

Yes he did do an excellent job if allowing viewers to judge for themselves

[@ceddy97]

To be Honest I'm bias because I own a GM

[@RonHenry]

They're both great mowers. The Revolution 26 punches well above its weight IMO. People that get them won't be unhappy with the cut quality.

[@darenproctor3260]

My first pick was GM. Going have to support Lee on making an Amazing reel mower. If you have to compare to GM. That's telling me something!

[@RioTheHitman]

Looking good there

[@RonHenry]

Not bad right?

[@masterblake212]

I was about to preorder one until I saw Lee (owner of reel rollers) talking unprovoked sh*t about Rolux. I was taken aback by how out of left field and childish that was, that is definitely someone I do not wish to do business with. I’ve never seen a reputable business man speak like that. My Swardman will do fine.

[@RonHenry]

Sounds like a plan Blake,

[@alceja3522]

GM for the win!!

[@RonHenry]

It’s a great mower.
