Push reel mower Falkenstein Light
Black November Offer: Valid for pre-orders until November 30, 2024! Deliveries will begin in February 2025.
Our Falkenstein Pro has a little brother: the Falkenstein Light. The Falkenstein Light was deliberately designed as a cheaper but high-quality basic model that provides a solid foundation for lawn care. To keep the price attractive, some functions, such as the cutting height indicator, are not included as standard, but can easily be retrofitted.
In addition to the cutting height indicator, we also offer other accessories that can be added individually - including a profiled front roller, a guide plate with flaps and many other extensions. This means that the Falkenstein Light can be perfectly adapted to individual requirements and upgraded step by step as required.
The Falkenstein Light features a cutting width of 15.75 inches (40 cm) and a weight-optimized, powder-coated steel housing in anthracite (RAL7016). The manual reel mower weighs 66 lbs (30 kg) and delivers an impressive 22 cuts per foot (73 cuts per meter) with its 7-blade reel, nearly double the cutting frequency of standard manual reel mowers, which typically achieve around 38 cuts per meter. The reel is handcrafted and then powder-coated for maximum durability. Combined with the wear-resistant carbon steel bed knife, it ensures a clean and precise cut without ribbing. The mower is suitable for a cutting height of 0.55–1.38 inches (14–35 mm).
The split rear roller, made of stainless steel with a differential function, protects the lawn during turns. Additionally, the freewheeling mechanism during reverse movements ensures comfortable and effortless operation of the mower.
Manual backlapping is easily possible with the Falkenstein Light.
As the manufacturer, we also offer a professional sharpening and maintenance service.
The stepless cutting height adjustment is user-friendly, allowing for quick and precise customization of the cutting height.
The closed grass catcher made of plastic ensures clean and efficient collection of clippings, preventing the unwanted spread of foreign grasses. Like the Falkenstein Pro, the catcher is compatible with the Rewukil lawn dethatcher.
