Greens & Tees - Riding Mowers For Sale

About Greens & Tees Riding Mowers

Most if not all greens and tees mowers fall into one of two main subcategories: riding and walk-behind. Historically, riding greens mowers have provided a much wider cut than walk-behind models, but have also been thought to produce a lower-quality cut. However, new reel and blade designs, components, ground-contouring innovations, and other technologies and advancements from Jacobsen, John Deere, Toro, and other leading brands have done much to change this. Most new riding options can precisely mow greens at less than 3 millimeters (0.12 inches). Models in this category include gas and diesel, hybrid gas or diesel, and electric 2WD and 3WD mowers equipped with multiple reels, each with seven to 15 blades. These mowers typically have up to 62-inch (157.5-centimeter) cutting widths and are capable of mowing at speeds up to 5 mph (8 km/h) and have top travel speeds up to 10 mph (16 km/h).

Jacobsen Eclipse 360 Hybrid Reel Mower

Common Features

In recent years, greens and tees riding mower manufacturers have emphasized features and technologies that produce better fuel efficiency and quieter, easier operation while also improving cut quality. Toro’s Greensmaster mowers, for example, are equipped with all-electric traction, steering, lift, and cutting components that reduce noise and eliminate the need for hydraulic oil. John Deere says E-Cut Hybrid triplex mowers also bring electric control (and electric-powered reels) to the table, along with a host of advanced supervision controls to produce the same playing surface on each green. Jacobsen’s Eclipse 360 ELiTE greens mower offers 100% battery-electric power, delivering a quality cut in a quiet and emissions-friendly package. Depending on the model, other greens riding mower features can include operator-controlled programmable operations, digital displays, joystick controls, onboard diagnostics, headlights, adjustable cut heights and clip frequencies, multiple blade options, and reel speed control.

Adjustable Cut Height For Tee Boxes

Although putting greens are likely to receive the most attention and preparation from superintendents, golf course managers may also use the greens mower to mow teeing areas and deliver the same manicured look and feel. Mowers with adjustable cut height allow operators to match the turf in the tee box to the fairway, providing golfers with a consistent runway. Mowers whose cutting units closely follow ground contours provide an exacting, professional appearance while reducing the time and effort it takes to maintain the tee areas throughout the course.
