Kohler, WI — January 26, 2026 — Rehlko today announced the official driver
selected to take on the Cutting History challenge: a world-first attempt to set a
GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for mowing the area of an American football field with tough, uncut grass in under one hour.

Following a nationwide call for participants, public voting, and a final evaluation by the Rehlko Jury, Hali Rieman, known as “Lawn Queen,” was chosen to pilot the record attempt using the Command PRO® 41 hp (999 cc) engine.

Rieman is a lawn care content creator celebrated for her passion for creating crisp lawn stripes and maintaining visually stunning turf. While working part-time as a radiation therapist, she spends her free time perfecting her own lawn, testing new equipment and products, and sharing tips and experiences with fellow lawn enthusiasts. Her dedication reflects a love for a lawn she can be proud of, and the desire to inspire others to take pride in theirs.

“Selecting the driver was just as critical as selecting the engine,” said Nino De Giglio, Marketing Communication Director at Rehlko. “We were looking for someone who combines realworld experience, credibility in the field, and the mindset to push limits. Hali represents exactly what Cutting History stands for: performance, ambition, and innovation.”

The Cutting History attempt, planned for Spring 2026, will challenge conventional mowing performance by requiring a professional zero-turn mower powered by the Command PRO® 41 hp engine to cut approximately 1.32 acres (5,800 m²) of grass standing at a minimum height of six inches in under one hour.

“I’m honored to be selected and excited to represent Rehlko in this historic challenge,” said Hali. “This isn’t just about speed—it’s about proving what Rehlko professional-grade equipment can really do in the field.”

The event will feature the Command PRO® 41 hp (999 cc) engine, the most powerful in Rehlko’s lineup, designed to deliver consistent torque and performance under high-load, real-world conditions. Built for durability, advanced cooling, and easy serviceability, its 41 hp of repeatable big-block power ensures reliability and makes the difference between attempting a record and actually setting one.
