Making its BTME debut on the Ransomes Jacobsen stand, the new Eclipse 122 hybrid greens mower offers a choice of fixed or fully floating cutting units, two electric motors for traction and cutting and alternative power options.

All versions of the Eclipse come with two electric motors, one drives the large rear roller and controls the ground speed, the other controls the speed of the cutting reel.

Both can be adjusted independently on an easy-toread LCD screen giving greenkeepers the ability to set frequency of cut to match their specific situation.

In true hybrid fashion, there are two power options, one using a 48 volt genset powered by a 4.6hp Honda petrol engine, the other using a drop-in 48 volt battery pack.
