Product Features for John Deere 6500A E-Cut™ Hybrid Fairway Mower: 

Powerful Diesel Engine:

  • Equipped with a robust 18.4-kW (24.7-hp) Final Tier 4 (FT4) diesel engine, providing ample power for mowing various turf conditions and operating fairway tender conditioners and rear roller power brushes.
  • Engine complies with FT4 regulations without requiring diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) or diesel particulate filter (DPF), reducing upfront acquisition costs.

Electric Reel Drive System:

  • Utilizes electric reel drive system powered by brushless motors, eliminating potential leak points in the reel hydraulic circuit.
  • Bidirectional and variable speed motors enable forward and reverse spinning for mowing and backlapping operations, ensuring optimal efficiency and minimal maintenance.

Alternator-Powered Reel Drive:

  • Features a 48-V, 180-amp alternator driven by the engine, providing constant power to the reel circuit without the need for additional batteries.
  • Ensures consistent mowing performance from start to finish without fluctuations in clip frequency due to battery drain.

Maneuverability and After-Cut Appearance:

  • Utilizes a three-wheel stance with smooth tires or optional treaded tires for excellent maneuverability and minimized compaction.
  • GRIP all-wheel drive traction system transfers hydraulic flow to maintain traction power, resulting in straight lines and greens-quality after-cut appearance.

TechControl Display for Enhanced Control:

  • Password-protected TechControl display enables operators to set or change mowing speed, turning speed, or transport speed for consistent performance.
  • LoadMatch™ electronic setting compensates machine speed to maintain power to cutting units, ensuring optimal cut quality in varying conditions.

Hydrostatic Pump and Steering System:

  • Incorporates eHydro™ hydrostatic pump for premium ease of use and reduced foot fatigue during operation.
  • Double-acting, single-rod hydraulic steering cylinder ensures straight lines and effortless turns with equalized steering effort.

Easy Maintenance and Transport:

  • Easily accessible daily service points, including engine-oil level check and radiator screen removal, streamline routine maintenance tasks.
  • Cutting units are stable and fold inside front tires for secure transport, minimizing the risk of damage during transportation.
