New Triplex
mower sets
highest standards
in precision-cut
technology
Arriving in April this year and ready for customer
demonstration, are John Deere’s new, 2750 PrecisionCut
and E-Cut hybrid triplex mowers. Offering more precise
control of performance and cut quality than ever before, at
lower operating costs.
Designed to provide premium cut quality regardless of who
operates the machine, the new 2750 greens mowers feature an
enhanced TechControl system as well as improved access to the
grass boxes, together with a lightweight, open platform design.
“Consistent cut quality across all operators, efficient contour
following and grass box accessibility are all critical needs for our
customers, and understanding these requirements was a key
driver behind the development of these new reel mowers,” says
Hunt Forest Group’s Turf and Construction Sales Director, Ed
Smales. “The 2750 triplex mowers have been designed to tackle
these challenges and take the stress out of fine turf mowing.”
Using the proven, password protected TechControl system, fleet
managers and technicians can input commands, controlling
nearly everything relating to the operator’s performance. This
includes frequency of clip, turn speed, clean-up pass speed and
how fast the cutting units raise and lower, providing consistent
end results on the course whoever is operating the mower.
Featured as an industry exclusive on the hydraulic model for the
first time (and also available as standard on the hybrid unit), the
frequency of clip can be programmed by altering parameters
on mowing speed, reel speed and the number of blades on the
reel. Once programmed, the settings cannot be changed by the
operator and automatically adjust with ground speed, ensuring
uniformity from machine to machine.
Clean-up pass mode, another John Deere exclusive, is a preset
operating mode that the operator can engage to automatically
reduce mowing speed on perimeter passes to increase accuracy,
with less scalping or missed strips. This setting allows the
operator to focus on the task, rather than on manually feathering
the speed.
Adjustable turn speed allows the course manager to control
how fast the operator is able to turn, which minimises the risk of
turf damage. In addition, by selecting Eco Mode, engine speed
can be electronically controlled to conserve fuel. In this mode,
engine RPM are automatically adjusted based on the load,
which can save up to 30 per cent on fuel and reduce operating
sound levels.
The 2750 greens mowers’ frame design provides a low centre
of gravity for excellent stability and traction performance. The
lighter weight also reduces tyre tracking and ground compaction,
while the open platform makes it easier to access the central
grass box. All three grass boxes can be easily removed and
installed with one hand, and there is a translucent yellow option
for better visibility of grass clippings levels.
John Deere’s new 2750 PrecisionCut and E-Cut hybrid triplex
mowers offer a 62in (157cm) mowing width at speeds of up to
6mph (9.7kph). The three-axis lift system on the cutting units
provides up to 18 degrees of steering and 42 degrees of contour
