Predicted by Toro to bring operational savings on fuel, fluid, parts, routine maintenance and labour to promote a positive return on investment, the lithium-ion battery-powered Groundsmaster e3300 out-front rotary from Reesink Turfcare now features all-wheel drive.
Groundcare professionals consider out-front rotaries frontline machines, so the manufacturer has developed an all-wheel drive electric version with the performance of the brand’s all-wheel drive diesel model.
At its core, “there’s the same rugged chassis, commercial-grade mowing deck and operator comfort” but now with CrossTrax all-wheel drive optimising traction and the option of a 60- or 72-inch side or rear discharge deck in high-strength steel.
Under the hood there’s 11 powerful HyperCell batteries for all-day runtime and the option of adding another six batteries “for the most challenging environments, tough terrain and demanding schedules.
Emission-free operation delivers a cleaner, quieter environment, while lower noise levels open up options for when and where mowing can take place – earlier in the morning, later in the day, in sound-sensitive areas such as schools, university campuses and public parks – “making time management that much easier and productivity levels that much higher”.
When it’s time to head back to the charging station, a battery reserve setting ensures there’s enough power to get there and the onboard InfoCentre gives real-time visibility into battery status, settings, and alerts — “keeping range anxiety at bay and everything running smoothly”.
“There’s no difference in the machine’s ability to get the job done with the change in the power supply,” confirms Jon Cole, Reesink Turfcare business development manager. “It’s more that with the CrossTrax all-wheel drive, operators are going to see a huge leap in productivity.
“Customers can still expect to mow up to nine acres an hour and it still provides a solid solution to many of the issues groundcare professionals face today – reduced mowing cycles, limited budgets and the requirement for year-round productivity.”
