McLane: American-Made Precision Lawn Equipment Since 1946

McLane has been a cornerstone of American lawn care since 1946, designing and manufacturing precision-engineered outdoor power equipment from its factory in Bell Gardens, California. For nearly eight decades, the brand has earned a reputation for uncompromising craftsmanship, producing gas-powered walk-behind edgers and reel mowers that are trusted by homeowners, professional landscapers, golf course superintendents, and municipal grounds crews alike.

What sets McLane apart in a crowded market is a commitment to building equipment that lasts. Every machine rolls off the same factory floor where it was engineered, making McLane a true original equipment manufacturer — not a reseller or distributor. This direct-from-factory approach means tight quality control at every stage of production and genuine OEM parts that are purpose-built for each model.

Edgers and Reel Mowers Built for Performance

McLane’s product lineup centers on two iconic categories: gas-powered walk-behind edgers and front-throw reel mowers. The commercial walk-behind edgers are compatible with either Honda or Briggs & Stratton engines, and feature all-steel heavy-duty chassis, single-lever blade-and-depth control, and precision-machined cutter heads running on sealed ball bearings. These machines are engineered to ride along curbs and deliver a razor-sharp edge on sidewalks, driveways, and turf borders.

The front-throw reel mowers are equally renowned, featuring McLane’s proprietary Armor-Plate® induction heat-treated reel and bedknife for a consistently clean, scissor-like cut. Equipped with Touch-A-Matic® clutch controls and a belt-and-chain drive system, they are particularly well-suited for Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia grasses. Whether you manage a backyard or a professional sports field, McLane reel mowers deliver the kind of manicured finish that rotary mowers simply cannot match.

OEM Parts: Keeping McLane Equipment Running for Decades

One of the hallmarks of McLane ownership is the brand’s robust OEM parts ecosystem. With a catalog of hundreds of genuine replacement components, keeping a McLane machine performing like new is straightforward. Among the most critical maintenance items are lawn mower blades — McLane’s spring steel edger blades and heat-treated reel bedknives are precision-ground to maintain the tight tolerances that define a clean cut. Equally important are the machine’s wheels, which on McLane edgers are heavy-duty steel units engineered to ride smoothly along curbs and hard surfaces without compromising cutting alignment.

Whether you are replacing a worn cutting blade after a full season of use or swapping out a wheel for smoother operation, sourcing genuine McLane OEM parts ensures compatibility and preserves the machine’s performance characteristics. It’s this depth of parts support — combined with decades of manufacturing consistency — that explains why many McLane machines remain in active service for 20, 30, or even 40 years.

Who McLane Equipment Is Right For

• Homeowners who want professional-grade edging results without repeated blade replacements
• Landscaping professionals managing high-volume residential or commercial accounts
• Golf course and sports field crews requiring precision reel-mowing performance
• Municipalities and grounds maintenance departments needing durable, long-service equipment

From its California factory to lawns across the country, McLane continues to represent the gold standard in American-made lawn edging and reel-mowing equipment — built tough, backed by genuine OEM parts, and engineered to outlast the competition.
