Jacobsen's Electric Arsenal

One of my favorite things in the world is sipping my first coffee of the day while doing greens, I've been lucky enough to do this a few times this summer. Besides the scenery I was spoiled because all I heard was a light electric hummm, not the heavy firing of gas or diesel engines, after all it's early. Of course I'm also partial to the technology because of how cost effective and efficient it is. Are their weight issues still? Yes. But do we need to cut operating costs and reduce environmental footprint? Yes. So it's a trade for the odd time you'll have to send out the walkers while it's really wet and squishy.

I've collected a whole bunch of info, video's and reviews for the Jacobsen line of electric and hybrid mowers. I'll update this post and re-post as I gather more reviews, so be sure to send me your thoughts on these products.

Check out these two video's from the guys at Krigger, recorded at The Club at Nevillewood. A brief but comprehensive review of the Jacobsen Eclispe 322 Electric Mower.

Here's another video showing Jacobsen electric greens mower being demonstrated in front of the new Golf Club on the Trail Creek Golf course in Sun Valley Idaho. The mower is really quiet and clean running on golf cart batteries. Master mower Darren operates the unit for the crowd showing the technique that won him 3rd place in the southeast Idaho mowing divisional.
