John Deere has launched two battery-powered, walk-behind greens mowers and announced further hybrid innovations to its existing product range.
The two specialist machines are packed with the same quality components and technology that existing John Deere customers have become familiar with, but are powered by a 58-volt, 3.2kwh lithium battery.
The 185 E-Cut has an 18-inch (457mm) cutting width while the larger 225 E-Cut takes a 22-inch (559mm) cut.
With near-silent operation, the walk-behind machines can cut approximately 50,000 square feet of grass on a single charge, making them 30% more productive than similar models in their class.
customers can choose a three-wheeled fairway mower fitted with five, brushless electric reel motors. The same hybrid technology has also been applied to the four-wheeled 7700A E-Cut.
This hybrid solution minimizes 90% of the risk of hydraulic leaks by eliminating over 150 leak points.
Users can experience fuel savings of up to 30% by operating at reduced throttle when mowing compared to Precision Cut fairway mowers. Noise levels are also reduced by up to 3dB at reduced throttle.
The alternator, controllers, and motors are designed to allow the machine to perform rigorous verticutting applications.
