The Rolux S17 machine is the perfect entry level reel mower for anyone that is looking to transform their lawn. Reel mowing has forever been out of reach for many but Rolux is changing this with the S17. This is the first powered reel mower at under $1000. 

The Rolux S17 will come standard with a Rolux branded 196cc gas engine. This engine has been used around the world on Rolux reel mowers for the past 7 years. It is ultra high quality and parts are readily available.

Please note that this is a PRE-SALE and stock is expected to arrive in late February 2025.

What does the X Series mower have that is not on the S Series:

  • The mower does not come standard with a grass catcher
  • The S Series does not have a Height of Cut (HoC) indicator
  • The mower does not have a clutch cover
  • The engine is different from the X-Series options

Features:

  • The vulcanized rear rollers are ribbed to provide excellent grip without damaging the lawn. These rollers on the Rolux Reel Mower are mounted on heavy duty ball bearings to minimize maintenance and increase ease of use.
  • A micro adjuster gives complete control over the cutting height
  • The cutting cylinder is purpose-designed to direct cuttings into the center of the grass box to prevent fouling
  • The cast aluminum chain cover keeps dirt away from the drive assembly, reducing maintenance and ensuring a longer life. These chain covers are a key safety feature on all Rolux reel mowers.
  • Includes smooth front roller - ribbed front roller available separately.
  • Grass Box not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

You Asked, We Answered

What is the warranty period for a Rolux reel mower?

The Rolux reel mower carries a 5-year factory warranty period. Please see the warranty terms and conditions by clicking on the following link: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0761/9126/9147/files/Rolux_Reel_Mower_Warranty.pdf?v=1687522658 

Why should I choose a reel mower? 

Reel mowers provide a superior quality of cut to rotary mowers. Reel mowers give a scissor-like cut to the grass blade which is cleaner, softer and does not disturb the plants natural pattern of growth. A regular rotary mower slashes the grass which causes trauma to the grass blade as well as the roots of the plant. Lawns cut with a reel mower will have healthier, thicker and greener leaves. 

Why the split blade design? 

The split blades are designed to throw cuttings into the middle of the grass catcher ensuring that it fills to its maximum capacity. The clippings are drawn towards the center of the reel and thrown into the middle of the catcher. 

How much does the Rolux weigh? 

The Rolux X20 weighs 143 pounds of which only 8,8 ounces is made of plastic. 

What material is the rear roller made from? 

The rear roller is made from 0.12” steel tube with steel domes to reinforce the structure. The roller is then rubberized and vulcanized to provide additional strength and resilience. The rubberized rear roller provides grip when transporting the machine as well as when mowing on uneven or steeper lawns. The vulcanized rear roller is also very quiet when moving over concrete and other hard surfaces.

Does Rolux stock replacement parts in USA? 

Yes. Our warehouse has all the fast-moving parts available in the USA. Any parts that are not held in stock can be supplied at short notice. 

How long does it take to assemble a Rolux reel mower? 

Rolux reel mowers are 95% assembled when they reach our buyers. You just need to assemble the handle of the machine which is three simple bolts and the logo plate. You can see a video of the assembly by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf8Zl6tUG5M&t=76s 

How hard is it to change the cutting height? 

Changing the cutting height is as simple as turning a single height adjustment knob to increase or decrease the height of cut (HOC). To increase the HOC, turn the mechanism clockwise, to lower the HOC, turn it anticlockwise.

Simple, Affordable, Bullet Proof

“I've had my Rolux Professional reel lawnmower for 10 years. It is bullet proof! It’s a machine you’ll own for life, eventually passing it onto your grandkids. From first start, to cutting those beautiful stripes on tough warm season grass."

“I've been using a Rolux Professional reel mower for many years. It’s my favorite mower for one reason: it does exactly what I expect it to do, every single time (which is to mow). It never lets you down, it's kind of indestructible”

-Merrick @ SA Lawn
