Hybrid turfgrass mowers comes to golf industry


By: March 24, 2010


It had to come and it arrived. Ransomes Jacobsen came out with a hybrid riding greens mower: Eclipse 322. The unique hybrid drive system, seems to be a radical departure from the hydraulically driven machines of the past 40 years and is like nothing else in its class.

The new turfgrass mower's battery's Run Time Per Charge is 3-3.5 hours. They knew that I will ask it as my second question. How much can we save? Here it comes: https://www.jacobsen.com/eclipse-calculator.

I think it is very nice, but probably not the most suitable time to launch such expensive turfgrass mower. Since most of the developed golf countries are still in recession.  Albeit I totally agree with their objectives.
