Cutting Cylinders - RDM Parts: Precision-Engineered Components for Optimal Turf Quality and Machine Efficiency
Cutting Cylinders (or Reels) are the heart of any cylinder mower (reel mower) and are fundamental to achieving the high-quality, precise cut demanded by professional turf management, such as on golf greens, fairways, and sports pitches. These multi-bladed components rotate at high speeds, shearing the grass blades against a stationary bottom blade (bedknife) in a scissoring action. The quality, precision, and sharpness of the cylinder are directly proportional to the health and appearance of the turf. Our inventory includes high-carbon steel cylinders with various blade configurations (e.g., 5-blade, 7-blade, 11-blade), designed to match specific grass types and desired cutting heights. Using genuine or high-quality aftermarket cylinders ensures perfect geometric conformity, which is essential for accurate blade-to-bedknife alignment. This precision minimizes friction, reduces wear on drive components (such as belts and motors), and maintains the engine's power efficiency. We supply complete reel assemblies, individual replacement blades, precision grinding supplies, and associated hardware for leading brands like John Deere, Toro, and Jacobsen.
