Mascot Reel Push Mower 21 Inch
High-Performance 21” Manual Reel Push Mower — Quiet, Eco-Friendly Lawn Care
The Mascot 21-inch Reel Push Mower delivers precision manual lawn mowing with a heavy-duty steel frame and spiral heat-treated blades for a clean, scissor-style grass cut. This quiet, eco-friendly reel mower is ideal for small to medium lawns, producing zero emissions while outperforming lower-quality push mowers. Its rugged build and adjustable wheel options make it suitable for routine yard maintenance and for environmentally conscious homeowners seeking a low-maintenance alternative to gas or electric mowers.
The Mascot 21” Reel Push Mower is an impressive beast of a lawn mower. The new owners have made several improvements over earlier models, including a more spiralized reel to cut grass more quickly and using rivets instead of welding, which distorted the reel radius. The bedknife and the adjustment trunnions have also been improved. The rollers are now in individual sections, making the mower easier to turn at the end of the rows. This mower is a real workhorse and should be at the top of your consideration for the price and value, even though it is still being imported.

Overview — Precision Grass Cutting Without Gas, Noise, or High Maintenance
The Mascot 21” Reel Push Mower is engineered for homeowners who value quiet, eco-friendly lawn care with old-school reliability and modern durability. Human-powered and free of engines, this manual reel mower offers a clean, scissor-like cut that promotes healthier turf and reduces lawn disease compared to traditional rotary or gas mowers.
Heavy-Duty Construction & Silent Operation
Built on a 12-gauge steel frame with six riveted, tempered spiral blades, this mower withstands frequent mowing without sacrificing performance. The improved reel design ejects grass efficiently, and the adjustable bed knife stays sharper longer — a key benefit over many reel mowers sold at big-box retailers.
Customizable for Your Yard
Choose between standard 9” heavy-duty wheels for level lawns or 10” tires for taller grasses and slightly uneven terrain. The 35” adjustable handle ensures a comfortable mowing posture for most users. An optional grass catcher is available to reduce cleanup time.

More Information
Human-powered reel mowers are perfect for small yards and in states like California that have banned the sale of new gas-powered mowers.
Mascot Deluxe Silent Cut Reel Mowers deliver solid, heavy-duty, long-term performance that is far superior to other reel mowers sold in local hardware and home improvement stores. Six riveted tempered unique spiral heat-treated blades mounted in a 12-gauge steel frame and supported by heavy-duty bearings, brackets, and rollers. These mowers are built to last for decades. In fact, Mascot is so confident in its mowers that it offers a 5-year limited warranty.
The reel blades and bed-knife are patterned after the ever-popular Silent-Scotts vintage mowers. Mascot 21” comes standard with 9” heavy-duty steel wheels and rubber tires. A 10” tire upgrade is also available for taller grasses.
Mowers are shipped after being fully tested, greased, and adjusted by the Amish shop. Price begins with the Mascot Silent Cut Mower with 9” wheels and incrementally increases as the 10” tire option is added. Some will call the mowers equipped with the 9" wheels "Bent Grass Mowers, and with the 10" wheels "Upright Tall Grass Mowers."
The overall width to the outside of the tires on the 21" size is 27", add 1-1/2" to these widths when ordering the 10" tires.
Mascot Silent Cut Reel Mowers Feature:
Riveted spiral design, six blades, tempered heat-treated blades, and bed-knife stays sharper longer. Riveting does not distort the reel cage as welding the blades does. This is important to maintain close tolerance across the length of the bedknife.
Ultra-fine thread bed-knife adjustment (factory adjusted to a paper-thin cut)
Self-lubricating wheel bearings
Heavy-duty nylon rollers with a glass-lined inner surface for longer wear patterns
Metal wheels with 1-3/4” thick solid rubber tires (Like they used in the 1950s and 1960s on mowers)
Height adjustments for the 21”- .5-3” with 9” tires, add 1/2” with 10” wheels
(The 9” wheel models work better on shorter bent grasses like Bermuda, and the 10" wheels for taller grasses)
Weighs about 55 lbs. for the 21”. Mowers will store nicely and hang on a garage wall.
The comfortable 35” long handle adjusts to different operator heights
Durable baked powder-coated paint
No Bounce 12-Ga. The frame is balanced and heavy enough to provide a manicured lawn, but still easy to push
5-year warranty. Excludes damage from dropping, abuse, and mowing in areas with sand, rocks, glass, or other debris. In general, reel mowers do not do well with debris and small twigs that may lodge between the knife-bed and blades.
The grass catcher(s) pictured are not included. The black Mascot grass catcher is better suited to smaller yards, as its capacity is limited and will require frequent emptying. It ships with the mower when ordered via the drop-down box. It has a poly bottom. For a larger-capacity, higher-quality grass catcher, we recommend the USA Clipper Grass Catcher for this mower. It pairs nicely with the Mascot 21" mower, has a large capacity, rollers on the back, and has a metal bottom. The Clipper grass catcher is much more expensive and ships from another Amish shop, so there will be shipping, but the quality is much better. It must be ordered separately from the mower. If you select the Mascot grass catcher, you will receive it with the mower. The grass catcher decision will ultimately be based on the size of your yard and how much you will use the grass catcher. Mascot has done an excellent job improving the quality of their mowers to match the Clipper mowers better; however, not as much for the grass catchers.
Which Reel Mower Is Best for Me?
We offer all three Amish-made reel mowers to provide our customers with greater selections, options, and price ranges. Too many choices can create confusion, so let’s break them down to clarify the pricing differences.
All three Amish reel mower companies offer heavy-duty reel push mowers that are significantly higher in quality than the average reel mowers sold in hardware and home improvement stores.
The Clipper Reel Mower is the Cadillac-Mercedes of reel mowers. It is all USA-made by the Amish using USA-made parts. The reel has riveted blades, and the bed-knife is higher-quality US steel and extra-tempered for the longest cutting sharpness. The Bed-Knife and spiral reels were patterned from the vintage Scotts Silent mowers. It is also the most expensive reel mower. Despite the price, it is also the most popular among the Amish and non-Amish. The Clipper is our best seller.
Mascot Silent Reel Mowers. The Mascot Mower Company completed an ownership change in early 2021. A long-term Amish Mascot dealer purchased the company and relocated it to Indiana, with a renewed focus on making it the best reel mower possible, prioritizing quality over cost and profit margins. As a Mascot dealer, he was concerned that the previous owners were determined to compete with the big-box store reel mowers; thus, he could see quality slipping to reduce costs, as reflected in some of the reviews.
Although they still use imported parts and assemble them overseas. The new owner made several changes to improve the mower's quality. Thicker steel in the cutting blades and bed knife, with more spirals in the roller cage to provide more cutting surface. The new owner’s goal is to move the manufacturing back to the US. He personally inspects, sharpens, and tunes each mower before it ships to a customer. The Amish developed the Mascot from the vintage Scotts Silent mowers. Many of the parts will interchange with the old Scott mowers. It is an extremely popular mower, with high satisfaction among those seeking long-term durability and performance at a mid-range price. We decided to check them out and were pleasantly surprised by what we found. We have been selected as the exclusive online dealer for Mascot Mowers.
We categorize Mascot as the Buick of reel mowers, and it is priced in the mid-range of Amish reel mowers.

A note on returns: Reel mowers are not for everyone, as they will give you a good physical workout, and they are not for every yard, as they do have restrictions on the height of grass that they will cut without bogging down, nor do they do well with sticks, stems, rocks, and dirt mounds.
We offer a 30-day return policy for our products. Realizing that if one were to be returned, reselling it to another customer would require a discount for the used condition. Thus, a 25% restocking fee would need to be discounted from any refunds for a return.
