Greens & Tees - Walking Mowers For Sale

About Greens & Tees Walking Mowers

Greens and tees mowers are typically available in walk-behind and riding models. Walk-behind models feature cutting widths from 18 to 22 inches (45.7 to 55.9 centimeters), while riding models often have up to 62-in. (157.5-cm) cutting widths. The shorter cutting width of greens and tees walking mowers means the machines take longer to mow greens than do their riding counterparts. However, professional quality greens walking mowers typically offer a lower initial cost than comparably precise greens riding mowers. Golf course superintendents need to weigh greens and tees mowing time constraints with long-term ownership costs, annual mowing frequency, and hourly labor costs to determine the options best for their course.

Concerning Cut Quality

Although greens and tees riding mowers have been around since the late 1960s, it wasn’t until recently that the machines were thought to provide a quality of cut and professional appearance that was equal to walking models. Today, both riding and walking mowers are capable of producing uniform putting surfaces that measure up to the putting speed and consistency players expect. Depending on the size of the golf course and various other factors, maintenance crews may also use a walk-behind mower for the tee boxes, as some experts believe walking mowers are still better with turf that’s been recently repaired.

Common Features

Modern greens and tees walking mowers typically offer between 8 to 15 cutting blades per reel, and many models feature detachable cutting units to let you quickly repair, or upgrade, the cutting blades as needed. The modular design can also extend to the roller attachment systems, letting technicians switch the cutting unit for the softness or firmness of the greens or to match best practices for the season. Precise changes to the height of cut are common. John Deere’s Speed Link system lets technicians adjust a worm gear with a hex adjuster where each turn is a mere 0.001 in. (0.0254 millimeters). To help operators quickly get around the golf course, some models are equipped with large transport wheels that fold away during mowing.
