Ransomes Jacobsen, unveiled


its latest generation riding greens mower, the Eclipse™ Featuring a unique hybrid drive system, this latest mower is a radical departure from the hydraulically driven machines of the past 40 years. The hybrid technology in the


Eclipse 322 combines a Kubota 13.3 hp 2-cylinder liquid cooled diesel engine with a 48-volt 5.8 kW continuous generator, which provides electric current to power the 2.2 kW AC traction drive motor and the three 0.97 kW DC reel drives. From this combination,


two unique


features stand out; the machine is totally free of hydraulic oil and, because of electronic control, it


can be customised to meet the specific requirements of any golf course. Richard Comely, Ransomes


Jacobsen’s product manager said,“Our tests have proven that we can expect an average reduction in fuel consumption of 43%. We have calculated that the Eclipse 322 can save operators an average of 180 gallons of fuel a year (based on an annual 900 hours of operation). When you consider the reduction in hydraulic oil and filter waste, we believe an owner can expect to save up to 35% on operating costs.”
