Ipswich, U.K. (February 4, 2025) Ransomes Jacobsen Ltd., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, introduces its new Jacobsen® HR3 ELiTE rotary mower. The HR3 ELiTE leverages Jacobsen’s proven electric drivetrain, powered by Samsung SDI lithium battery technology, to deliver Jacobsen’s celebrated quality of cut with zero emissions, less noise, and significantly reduced operating costs.
The HR3 ELiTE pairs its electrically driven transaxle with electric motors for its cutting system, eliminating emissions and reducing noise. The HR3 ELiTE’s low-noise floor enables operation near golfers and residential areas without causing disturbances, so course operators can get the day’s work done whenever the schedule demands it.
The HR3 ELiTE’s low noise level also makes for a safer operating environment for the mower’s user, and high-spec suspension seating and intuitive controls further enhance the operator experience. The mower’s tilt-sensor technology enhances safety when operating on slopes. For cutting along thoroughfares, the HR3 ELiTE is road-safe, with LED lighting and mirrors.
The HR3 ELiTE’s Samsung SDI lithium battery system utilizes the same proven, zero-maintenance technology in use in tens of thousands of Jacobsen mowers, Cushman® utility vehicles and E-Z-GO® golf cars worldwide. The battery system provides more than 40 kilowatt-hours of energy for all-day runtime, and is backed by a five-year battery warranty. An onboard charger simplifies recharging and is designed for overnight use, so the mower can be fully charged and ready for the next day’s work without drawing power during peak energy hours.
With a cutting width of 1.52 meters (4.98 feet) and adjustable cutting height, the HR3 ELiTE delivers Jacobsen’s renowned quality of cut. A high-strength steel frame with solid bumper rails protects the mower from the rigors of everyday use, and onboard diagnostics allow operators to easily monitor the mower’s performance in real time.
The HR3 ELiTE is available now from Jacobsen authorized distributors and dealers. For more information about the HR3 ELiTE and Jacobsen’s complete line of turf equipment, visit jacobsen.com or follow Jacobsen on Instagram, X and Facebook.
