2024 John Deere E-Cut™ Hybrid 180

2024 John Deere E-Cut™ Hybrid 180

• Quick-Adjust 5 (QA5) cutting units

• Electric reel-drive system for excellent contour following

• Dual traction rolls for straight tracking

• Adjustable frequency of clip

Features may include:

• Ball-joint mounting system for contour following in all directions, even steering

It all starts with the ball-joint mounting system that attaches the cutting unit to the traction drive system. Similar to the PrecisionCut™, E-Cut hybrid riding greens mowers, and fairway mowers with Quick-Adjust 5 (QA5) cutting units, the ball-mounting system allows the cutting unit to rotate in any direction.

The cutting unit not only moves fore and aft, and laterally side-to-side, it also steers in turns, which translates to a much more turf-friendly premium cut in cleanup passes around the perimeter of the green.

• Electric reel-drive system for excellent contour following and a premium quality of cut

The benefits of hybrid technology are numerous. The 2500E E-Cut™ Hybrid Riding Greens Mowers and E-Cut Hybrid fairway mowers are proof of that.

So why not move that same technology to the walk-behind greens mowers? With the 180 E-Cut and 220 E-Cut Hybrid Walk Greens Mowers, hybrid technology is now at your disposal on even the most undulating of greens.

• Adjustable frequency of clip to meet turf conditions

The buzz in the industry is all about frequency of clip. But what exactly is it? Frequency of clip is defined as the distance traveled between consecutive cuts. In other words, it is how far the machine moves from the time one blade passes across the bedknife until the next blade passes. The lower the frequency of clip, the less distance that is traveled until the next blade passes.

• Standard onboard backlapping for easy reel maintenance

A significant benefit to the electric reel-drive system is that it is very simple to change the direction of the motor, which allows the cutting unit to spin either forward for mowing or backward for backlapping.

The 180 E-Cut™ and 220 E-Cut Hybrid Walk Greens Mowers can be backlapped without needing any external devices to drive the reel backward. It can do it all by itself with a simple toggle switch located on the rear left-hand side of the machine.

• Standard diagnostic light for quick and easy troubleshooting

For quick and easy troubleshooting should an issue arise, a diagnostic light is located on top of the handlebar cover. If the electrical system sees a problem, a diagnostic code flashes through the indicator light. The code is repeated until the power take-off (PTO) switch is cycled off and on again, or the engine is shut off and turned on again.

When a code is discovered, consult the technical manual for additional troubleshooting information. If a continuing condition exists, the diagnostic code displays again when the engine is started, until the original condition is corrected.
