Jacobsen
is launching the brand-new Eclipse 360 ELiTE, Eclipse 2 Lithium and AR730 at
BTME 2020.
Exhibition
attendees will be able to experience the new machines for the first time in
Purple Hall, Stand 422 across the three day exhibition in Harrogate with the
Jacobsen team ready to talk greenkeepers through the mowers and their new
features.
Jacobsen
was an early innovator of electric golf mowers, and the ride-on Eclipse 360
ELiTE showcases that unique decade’s worth of experience while delivering the
signature Jacobsen quality of cut. That knowledge has also been built into the
Eclipse 2 Lithium. A patented true floating head and Classic XP reel combine to
produce a lithium powered mower that has already proven itself at the renowned
Pebble Beach.
Focusing
on the end-user has been an integral part of the 2020 product updates, and the
comfort, size and power of the new AR730 make it perfect for mowing hilly
terrain with sharp undulations while reducing the chance of scalping.
Ransomes
Jacobsen director of international product development, Richard Comely, has
been central to the growth of these new products and is excited to unveil them
to the industry.
He
said: “BTME is always a significant exhibition in the golf industry calendar,
and it is the perfect place for us to launch these innovative new models.
During product development, we were focused on the end-user and their everyday
needs, while also concentrating on the environment they work in. Electrically
powered technology is becoming increasingly important for many reasons, and we
want to continue providing the industry with electric golf mowers that provide
the performance and cut quality needed to produce a world class course.
“Harrogate
is the ideal setting to welcome greenkeepers onto the stand and show them what
we’ve been working on as well as listening to their thoughts on what they would
like as an end-user.”
Another
example of industry leading battery technology will be on the stand in the
shape of the E-Z-GO Freedom RXV Elite with Textron Fleet Management (TFM)
installed. This golf car is unmatched when it comes to performance, efficiency,
and standard features. Models are available with the option of a 48-volt AC
electric drivetrain with patented IntelliBrake technology or the first of its
kind EX1 closed-loop EFI petrol engine which provides unmatched energy
efficiencies. Headlights, taillights, brake lights and a modern dash come as
standard with the option of rear facing seats and a choice of 13 colours.
The Cushman Hauler
800X Elite, Cushman Truckster with mounted Turfco 1550 Top Dresser and Smithco
Ultra Lite Roller will also be on the stand to showcase the full range of
Jacobsen turf maintenance equipment.
