• Consistent cut quality, regardless of operator

As a superintendent/greenkeeper, turf manager, equipment manager, or other supervisor responsible for golf course maintenance, there are many aspects you are judged on every single day. Some that stand out include:

• Quality of turf and overall playing conditions
• Consistency from hole to hole (or area to area)

Golfers expect the highest level of playing conditions every time they play, and they expect hole #1 to play the same as hole #18. Over the years, those demands have increased as they continue to see picturesque tournaments on television.

However, one of the toughest challenges in the industry today is labor. With unemployment rates at very low levels and wages increasing, it is difficult to find labor, and when you do find it, it’s often unskilled. Skilled, experienced operators can typically provide the daily quality that you are seeking. However, how do you take those new, less-skilled operators and make them perform like a 20-year veteran? For some, they may have never worked on a golf course before or may have limited general equipment operating experience.

That’s where the 2700 and 2750 PrecisionCut™ and E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mowers can to help. The key is the advanced TechControl display, which allows you to enter a multitude of operating parameters to gain more control over your operators’ performance. In addition, the TechControl display is passcode protected, meaning that operators cannot do anything to override the settings that you have programmed without having the passcode. The operator can see limited information to operate the machine, such as:

• Operating mode (park, transport, mow)
• Fuel level
• Hour meter
• Warning indicators/alarms

No matter how many machines you have, if you set them all up the same, they will all perform the same regardless of operator.

• Increased level of supervisory control with advanced passcode-protected TechControl display

As a turf professional responsible for your course, there’s a certain level of care you would take if you were operating a triplex mower yourself. The advanced TechControl display on the 2700 and 2750 PrecisionCut™ and E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mowers allows you to build a similar level of care into how your operators are allowed to mow. It also allows newer operators to match the cut quality and consistency of veteran operators by putting you in control of key performance characteristics.

As a trusted supervisor, the passcode-protected TechControl display allows you to control a range of operating parameters, including:

• Reel operating modes
• Frequency of clip
• Engine operating modes
• Maximum mowing speed
• Cruise control
• LoadMatch™ speed setting
• Turn speed
• Maximum transport speed
• Cleanup pass speed
• Cutting unit lift rates
• Cutting unit drop rates
• Cutting unit front-to-rear timing

By giving you control of the operating parameters that operators must stay within, the result is better, more consistent cut quality and overall playing conditions. In addition, you get improved consistency from hole to hole, regardless of which operator is operating the machine. The passcode protection helps prevent operators from overriding any of the parameters that have been set, giving you more control over the performance of each operator.

• Walk Greens Mower-like cut quality with frequency of clip control}

For many years, John Deere fixed-head walk greens mowers have featured automatic frequency of clip control. Due to the chain drive system linking the traction drum to the reel, the same frequency of clip is maintained at all ranges of the engine throttle. At higher engine speeds, the reel speeds up in proportion to the increased speed of the traction drum. At lower engine speeds, the reel slows down in proportion to the traction drum. What this means is the same frequency of clip is maintained from machine to machine and operator to operator, regardless of the engine throttle position.

With labor availability becoming more of a challenge, recent industry trends show more courses going back to triplex mowers on greens to increase productivity.

But can a triplex match the cut quality of a walk behind? With the Frequency of Clip mode within the TechControl display on all 2700 and 2750 PrecisionCut™ and E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mowers, that level of cut quality can be achieved regardless of the operator. In fact, the 2700 and 2750 PrecisionCut Triplex Mowers are the only hydraulic reel drive triplex mowers in the industry that can control frequency of clip.

Within the passcode-protected TechControl display, the supervisor has the ability to select Frequency of Clip mode. After pressing the menu button, the supervisor enters the following parameters:

• Number of blades on the reel
• Reel speed
• Mow speed

Based on these parameters, the machine will calculate and display the frequency of clip that the machine will target to achieve. If there is a certain frequency of clip you desire, simply change the mow and reel speeds to find that setting. Or, you may decide that a different reel blade count is required to get the frequency of clip that you want to achieve. Once you exit the setup screen, the parameters are set for the operator to mow.

The mow speed that is set is the maximum mowing speed that the operator can mow at. A veteran operator may choose to mow at the maximum mowing speed, while a newly trained operator may elect to mow slower by not fully depressing the pedal.

However, the frequency of clip does not change on the 2700 and 2750 Triplex Mowers based on these different mowing speeds. It is maintained regardless of ground speed. The reel speed automatically adjusts to the requested ground speed from the foot pedal. Even though a newly trained operator may mow at a reduced speed, the reels slow down automatically in proportion to maintain the same frequency of clip as an experienced operator. This means consistent cut quality from hole to hole all day long, regardless of the operator.

For all 2700 and 2750 PrecisionCut and E-Cut Hybrid Triplex Mowers, the reel speed sensor and foot pedal position sensor communicate with one another to maintain frequency of clip. The foot pedal position sensor indicates the requested ground speed from the operator, and the reel speed automatically adjusts accordingly. Wheel speed sensors in the hydraulic wheel motors communicate with the eHydro™ system to match the actual ground speed to the requested ground speed.

• Budget and operator-friendly Eco mode

Within the advanced TechControl display, you can run the engine in Eco mode for general mowing conditions, especially on greens. In Eco mode, the engine will run at 2250 rpm with the power take-off (PTO) engaged. As load demand increases due to conditions such as lush grass or climbing a hill, the engine speed can increase to as much as 2700 rpm. It all happens automatically without any operator input other than engaging the mow switch.

A passcode must be entered to select the engine mode that you want the operator to use. Once Eco mode has been selected, there is nothing the operator needs to do to activate it. Also, there is nothing the operator can do to mow outside of Eco mode. Once the mow switch is engaged, the engine will automatically go to 2250 rpm. As additional load is encountered, the engine rpm will automatically increase without any input from the operator.

Eco mode is friendly to the operating budget, as well as the operator. In this mode, you will see up to 30 percent reduction in fuel consumption, and up to a 5 dB(A) reduction in sound levels (depending on the model). It also works across all 2700 and 2750 PrecisionCut™ and E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mowers. Fuel savings and noise reduction are no longer reserved for hybrid machines.

Some of the highest load conditions are cold mornings where the hydraulic oil has not yet come up to operating temperature. In these conditions, the hydraulic oil temperature sensor integrates with Eco mode to ensure there is power available to handle the task. This smart system will quickly bring the oil up to operating temperature by:

• Increasing engine rpm to 3000
• Shutting off diverter valve
• Shutting off engine cooling fan

As the oil reaches certain temperature thresholds, the diverter valve will be enabled, the cooling fan will be turned back on, and the engine will return to normal Eco speed (2250 rpm). Normal Eco operation will resume once the hydraulic tank temperature is 50°C (122°F).
