Jacobsen introduces 15-blade reel
10 May, 2011 Athletic Turf NewsJacobsen has introduced the industry's first 15-blade reel, designed to provide increased productivity, a superior quality of cut and optimum turf health. The new Jacobsen Classic XP 15-blade reel provides superior performance and increased benefits for the Jacobsen range of Eclipse greens mowers - the Eclipse 100 walk-behind series and the new Eclipse 322 ride-on series.
All Eclipse series mowers feature independent electric motors which control the traction and the cutting reels. Using electronics it is possible to maintain frequency of clip (FOC) independent to operational mow speed. This means that no matter who is operating the mower, the FOC set by the superintendent or technician will be maintained across all greens at all speeds.
The additional blades provide a tighter FOC, reducing stragglers, yielding a smoother surface and delivering the ability to raise the height of cut without compromising ball speed.
