Read More (About Rough Rotary Mowers)Designed to cut the primary rough sections of a golf course, rough rotary mowers have hardier cutting systems than reel mowers and wide-deck models built expressly to cover a lot of ground efficiently in little time. Depending on the course setup, rough rotary mowers may also be used to cut intermediate rough between the fairway and primary rough if the operator can lower the deck enough to provide contrast and definition.
Some rough rotary mowers support floating contour decks that enable the mower to maintain an even, manicured appearance on rougher terrain, rolling hills, and undulating grounds. To assist in climbing hills and operating along inclines without causing damage to the turf, some rough rotary mowers may feature a wide wheel base and traction-control capabilities. Contour models in Toro’s popular Groundsmaster 4300, 4500, and 4700 series, for example, employ free-floating Contour Plus decks designed to follow changes in contour. John Deere’s 8800A and 9009A TerrainCut rough mowers use a hydraulic GRIP all-wheel-drive traction system to assist in reducing wheel slippage on slopes to provide better traction with less turf damage.
Along with contour models, large-area rotary mowers are also available that specialise in cutting large swaths in a short time. Jacobsen’s five-gang HR800, for example, uses a 74.3-horsewpower (55.4-kilowatt) engine to help it tackle 8.62 hectares (21.3 acres) of grass per hour thanks to a 4.9-metre (16-foot) cutting width, making it suitable for golf courses, sports fields, parks, airports, commercial grounds, and other applications. Elsewhere, Deere, Jacobsen, and Toro rough rotary models all share features indicative of those found in this category, including tool-free height adjustment and operator stations designed for comfort, as well as onboard diagnostics and telematics systems that let course managers control mower operating speeds, view system warnings, identify sources of failure, and more.
