JACOBSEN ® UNVEILS FULLY ELECTRIC
MOWING SOLUTION
WITH PACE TECHNOLOGIES CONNECTIVITY
In 2024 , Jacobsen will become one of the first manufacturers to offer a fully electric golf course mowing service solution . With the Eclipse 2 ELiTE™ walking greens mower , ELiTE lithium outfront and AR1 ELiTE articulated rotary mower joining the already successful Eclipse 360 ELiTE and SLF1 ELiTE models .
Jacobsen has scaled up the power requirements for fairway and rough machines using tried and tested Samsung ® Lithium SDI technology . By partnering this technology with Jacobsen mowers , turf professionals can cut all day on greens , tees , fairways , or roughs , while always maintaining Jacobsen ’ s famous quality of cut .
Extending the benefits of lithium to the entire course enables golf organizations to reduce their carbon emissions further , but there are also significant user benefits . With noise and vibration greatly decreased , a day of cutting fairways or rough will have less stress on the operator , bringing increased comfort and productivity .
To enhance the efficiency and productivity of these machines , Jacobsen has added PACE Technology™ , an equipment management and geofencing system that is a screenless web-based solution . PACE can be accessed from any device and features real-time tracking and task management to maximize the effectiveness of your operation . Users can track and measure the power output per hole of the machines to maximize their performance and develop a bespoke picture of how they work on the course .
Testing these innovations and their capabilities has been a big consideration . Jacobsen , Cushman ®, and PACE have collaborated with 26 courses across three continents in 2023 , including Sage Valley Golf Club , South Carolina , Loch Lomond Golf Club , Scotland , and Peninsula Kingswood in Australia .
