Jacobsen unveiled nine new products at GIE+EXPO in Louisville, Ky., Oct. 21-23.
The company launched the Jacobsen Professional Series, which includes three lines of zero-turn mowers and seven different models of utility vehicles.
“The GIE+EXPO is the ideal launching point for our new Professional Series of mowers and utility vehicles and our message to the market,” said David Withers, president of Jacobsen. “Because we’ve been around since 1921, many folks are familiar with our brand and associate Jacobsen with the professional end of the market. The GIE+EXPO gives us the opportunity to broaden our customer base. The show also gives us a chance to meet with distributors interested in carrying our new line of products.”
The flagship of Jacobsen’s new Professional Series is the RZT line of ride-on zero-turn mowers. It’s powered by the buyer’s choice of a 25- or 27-horsepower Kawasaki FX engine or a 27-horsepower Kohler EFI engine. It’s offered in two cutting widths, 50 and 60 inches.
The new Jacobsen utility vehicles are led by the diesel-powered Truckster HX, featuring a large capacity of 1,6200 lbs. and a top speed of 24.9 mph. It’s equipped with a 22 horsepower, 1,007cc 3-cylinder diesel engine. Safety features include a full roll over protection system (ROPS) and three-point seatbelts.
