RM45 Professional (10-Blade) 18″ Reel Mower
The Truyard RM45 Professional is a premium 18″ (450mm) reel mower featuring a 10-blade cutting cylinder and split 4.8mm thick steel rear roller for a fine, precision lawn finish. Self-propelled and powered by the Honda GX200, with pull-start and key-start options available.
Price range: $2,799.00 through $3,299.00
The Truyard RM45 Professional 18" Reel Mower is designed for lawns where a precise, high-quality cylinder mower finish is required. With a 450mm (18") cutting width, 10-blade hardened steel cutting cylinder and heavy-duty split rear roller constructed from 4.8mm thick steel, the RM45 Professional combines a compact cutting width with the features of Truyard's Professional reel mower range.
The 10-blade cutting cylinder works against the bottom blade to produce the clean, scissor-like cut associated with a quality reel mower. Compared with the 6-blade RM45 Classic, the Professional's 10-blade cylinder is designed for regularly maintained lawns where a finer finish is the priority.
A self-propelled chain-drive system and automatic centrifugal clutch provide smooth drive without the operator having to continually engage a manual clutch. Power is provided by the proven Honda GX200 four-stroke engine, with pull-start and key-start configurations available.
The RM45 Professional features an all-steel, powder-coated construction, steel front roller and split rear roller manufactured from 4.8mm thick steel. A 60L steel grass catcher provides plenty of capacity, while the cutting height is adjustable from 4mm to 32mm using a single height control.

What is a cylinder mower and how does it work?
A cylinder mower, also known as a reel mower, uses a rotating cylinder of blades that passes against a fixed bottom blade to cut the grass with a scissor-like action. This is different from a rotary mower, which uses a horizontally rotating blade to cut the grass. The RM45 Professional uses a 10-blade cutting cylinder and has a 450mm (18″) cutting width.
What is the difference between a cylinder mower and a rotary mower?
A cylinder mower cuts grass between the rotating cylinder and a fixed bottom blade, producing a clean, precise cut. A rotary mower uses a fast-spinning horizontal blade and is generally better suited to longer or less frequently maintained grass. Cylinder mowers are particularly suited to regularly maintained lawns where a low, even and well-presented finish is desired.
What are the benefits of using a cylinder mower?
Cylinder mowers are designed to produce a clean, precise cut rather than relying on the impact of a rotary blade. They are particularly popular for regularly maintained lawns where appearance, an even cutting height and a fine lawn finish are priorities.
What types of lawn are suitable for a cylinder mower?
Cylinder mowers are best suited to relatively level, regularly maintained lawns. They are commonly used on warm-season lawn varieties found in Australia, including couch, kikuyu and buffalo, although the appropriate mowing height and mowing frequency will depend on the particular grass variety and lawn conditions.
How often should you mow with a cylinder mower?
For the best results, a cylinder-mown lawn should generally be cut regularly rather than allowing the grass to become long between mows. Mowing frequency will vary with the grass variety, season, growing conditions and desired cutting height. Regular mowing helps maintain an even finish and avoids removing too much leaf growth at once.
How low can a cylinder mower cut?
The minimum cutting height depends on the mower and the condition of the lawn. The Truyard RM45 Professional can be adjusted from approximately 4mm to 32mm. Very low cutting heights require a suitably level lawn and appropriate lawn maintenance to achieve a consistent result.
What is the difference between a 6-blade and 10-blade cylinder mower?
A cylinder with more blades provides more cutting opportunities during each rotation of the reel. A 10-blade cylinder is therefore particularly suited to regularly maintained lawns where a fine finish and lower cutting heights are desired. The RM45 Professional uses a 10-blade cylinder, while the RM45 Classic uses a 6-blade cylinder.
Why do cylinder mowers have rollers?
The rollers support the mower and help maintain a consistent relationship between the cutting cylinder and the lawn surface. Rear rollers can also contribute to the striped appearance commonly associated with cylinder-mown lawns. The RM45 Professional uses a steel front roller and a split rear roller constructed from 4.8mm thick steel.
Can a cylinder mower create lawn stripes?
Yes. A cylinder mower with a rear roller can produce the striped appearance commonly seen on professionally maintained lawns. The effect is created as the roller lays the grass in different directions during each mowing pass, causing the grass to reflect light differently.
Do cylinder mower blades need sharpening?
Yes. Like other cutting equipment, the cylinder and bottom blade need to remain correctly adjusted and sharp to maintain a clean cut. Sharpening requirements depend on usage, lawn conditions and contact with sand, soil or other abrasive material. If the mower begins tearing grass rather than cutting it cleanly, the cutting system should be inspected and adjusted or sharpened as required.
Is the RM45 Professional self-propelled?
Yes. The RM45 Professional uses a self-propelled chain-drive system with an automatic centrifugal clutch. Power is provided by a Honda GX200 four-stroke petrol engine, with pull-start and key-start configurations available.
What warranty does the RM45 Professional have?
The RM45 Professional is covered by a 2-year machine warranty. The Honda engine is covered by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
