eHydro™ Hydrostatic Pump and Standard GRIP AWD for Serious Hill-Climbing Capabilities

The electronically-controlled eHydro™ traction pump powers wheel motors for enhanced performance and traction, especially in undulating terrain. This linkage-free design significantly reduces parts in the traction system and maintenance requirements. For even more capability in tougher conditions, the optional GRIP All-wheel Drive system provides power to the two rear wheels.  This system transfers hydraulic fluid from wheels that slip to wheels that grip, increasing traction on both hills and side slopes.

AutoPedal™ Lowers Sound Levels and Fuel Consumption During Transport

The dual pedal traction system electronically controls both the eHydro™ transmission and engine RPMs during transport. By utilizing only the RPMs and ground speed commanded by the operator pressing the foot pedals in transport, this innovative system also reduces the engine RPM to idle when neither pedal is depressed. Linking the engine and traction speed to the foot pedal position maximizes fuel savings and reduces noise during transport.

Passcode-Protected TechControl Display Puts the Supervisor in Control

Set maximum mow speed, turn speed, and transport speed to assist in providing consistency of performance from operator to operator. These settings are passcode-protected within the TechControl display, putting the supervisor in more control of each operator's cut quality and performance. Achieve more consistency from machine to machine and from operator to operator for a more uniform appearance across the course.
