Jacobsen has now sold over 5,000 of its state-of-the-art walking and riding greens-mowers
Jacobsen, a Textron company, announced on August 5th that it recently sold its 5,000th ECLIPSE greens mower, first introduced in 2007 when the ECLIPSE 122 F walking mower hit the market.
The first of its kind to offer separate, adjustable settings for reel speed and mow speed on an easy-to-read LCD screen, the ECLIPSE enabled superintendents to quickly and easily set the frequency-of-clip to match course conditions, a key feature previously unattainable, the Charlotte, N.C.-based company says.
In 2009, the ECLIPSE 322 riding greens mower was introduced, giving the industry its first triplex mower with true hybrid and all-electric technology, and zero hydraulics. The ECLIPSE 322 was also the first triplex to come standard with advanced electronic controls.
“The ECLIPSE walking greens mowers and ECLIPSE riding greens mower have been our flagship products for several years now,” said Chris Fox, Product Manager for Jacobsen. “Their game-changing technology has helped superintendents and sports turf managers improve the health and quality of their turf by eliminating the risk of hydraulic leaks and giving them the ability to quickly and easily adjust settings like frequency-of-clip and mow speed.”
David Withers, President of Jacobsen, said the success of the ECLIPSE mower has been incredible. “Most importantly, the award-winning machines have been crucial in our mission to build relationships in the market,” he added. “We look forward to marking the 10,000 milestone a few years down the road.”
