Features

Offset Cutting Unit Design Eliminates Triplex Ring

Studio view of 2400 Precision Cut top

The industry-exclusive offset design staggers wheel tracks by alternating the direction of mowing each day, minimizing compaction and eliminating triplex ring. The cutting units are offset to the left, which also enhances visibility of the center cutting unit.

48-Volt, 100-Amp Alternator Powers Brushless Electric Reel Motors

Close-up of a mechanical reel motor assembly with a circular metal component featuring vent-like patterns, surrounded by bolts and connected linkages

Providing excellent mowing and verticutting performance while completely eliminating any chances of hydraulic leaks from the reel circuit, a 48-V, 100-amp alternator powers a fully electric reel drive system. Belt driven from the engine, the alternator ensures no additional batteries are needed to power the reel drive circuit.

Command Arm Places Controls at the Operator’s Fingertips

All operating controls are placed to the right side of the operator in the Command Arm. Attached to the seat base, the Command Arms always moves with the seat, ensuring controls are at the operator’s fingertips regardless of the seat position. Controls on the Command Arm include the throttle lever, mow lever, and lift / lower lever.
