Thank you Derek Richardson with Richardson Roots for providing this one of a kind mower to me for this review!

I got my hands on the German made Falkenstein Manual Reel Mower by Cylinder Mower Germany. These pieces are one of a kind, handmade, and well designed machines. Out of the box, it cut paper like scissors with zero reel to bedknife contact. Everything was perfectly spec'd out, and a beautiful piece of artwork!

In this video I generally go through all of the noticeable features of the mower and take it for a quick test drive to lay down some stripes.

As I said in the video, if you have hills or lack of time to mow consistently, this will be an extremely tough machine to run and have a good time. Especially for the price you are paying for it. Ideally, a flat small yard (less than 5k sqft) and this would be a pleasure to mow with!

Leave any comments or questions below and I would be happy to help answer them! If you have spec related questions, the website above has a little more detailed info that I did not cover. A 20 minute video was not my desire!
