John Deere 180 E-Cut™ Hybrid

Easy Operation With Integrated Operator Presence Bail + Traction Clutch and Electric PTO Switch

The operator presence bail is dual function, not only stopping the machine when releasing the bail, but also engaging the clutch and initiating machine forward movement when pulled leftward and pushed forward against the handlebar. In fact, all controls on Deere walk greens mowers move forward to initiate movement, including the electric PTO switch, throttle engagement and park brake disengagement. This simple, consistent control design enhances ease of use for operators.

Adjustable Frequency of Clip Dials in a Consistent Quality of Cut

Frequency of Clip (FOC) is adjusted electronically with a potentiometer located on the left side of the machine beside of the mow / backlap switch. Adjustment is infinite, allowing supervisors to set the FOC to the specific setting desired to provide optimum cut quality for their conditions. To prevent operators from inadvertently making an adjustment to the FOC, the potentiometer is located under a cover that requires tools to remove for access.

Ball Joint Mounting System Provides Contour Following in All Directions

The Quick Adjust 5 cutting unit is mounted to the traction unit frame with a simple ball joint mechanism. This ball joint allows the cutting unit to rotate in all directions, fore and aft, side to side, and up and down to gently follow nearly any contour. It also allows the cutting unit to steer in cleanup passes, maximizing quality of cut. This ball joint, combined with the electric reel drive, means no mechanical linkage to restrict the cutting unit movement.
