On September 3, Jacobsen, a Textron Inc. company, announced the
launch of the all-new Professional Series of commercial-grade mowers
and utility vehicles.
Built for a wide range of turf customers, including municipal parks
and green spaces, schools, airports, cemeteries, sports fields and golf
courses, the Professional Series consists of three lines of zero-turn
mowers and six different models of utility vehicles.
"One of our main goals with the launch of these exciting new
products was to offer a wide range of options that satisfy many different
categories of customer needs," said Bryan Holby, product manager
for Jacobsen. "The new mowers and utility vehicles offer a myriad of
options in features, benefits and pricing that will appeal to everyone
from large-fleet owners to one-truck-and-trailer operations."
The flagship of Jacobsen's Professional Series is the RZT line of
ride-on zero-turn mowers, which provides the power and performance
to handle any turf job with ease. The RZT mows up to 5.3 acres per hour
with either a 25- or 27-hp. Kawasaki FX engine or a fuel-efficient 27-hp.
Kohler EFI engine.
Jacobsen's SZT stand-on mower packs power into a small footprint
and features a 26-hp. Vanguard engine and two different deck sizes.
The new mower series is rounded out with the WZT walk-behind mower.
The WZT features an 18-hp. Briggs & Stratton engine and single- or
dual-drive drivetrain options.
The new Jacobsen utility vehicles are led by the gas-powered
Truckster MS/MX, featuring a large capacity of 1,200 pounds and a
top speed of 17 mph. An available linked suspension on the MX model
allows it to handle rough terrain with ease.
For customers needing a quiet, electric option, the Truckster MS-E/
MX-E is powered by a 72-volt electric drivetrain and offers an impressive
capacity of up to 1,000 pounds.
The gas-powered Truckster LS/LX offers an 800-pound capacity and
a polyethylene bed that provides years of worry-free service.
"Today's professional turf managers are being asked to take on more
responsibilities and projects," said David Withers, president of Jacobsen.
"They need a wide range of maintenance tools to help them get the job
done quickly and easily. That's why we've expanded our product line to
include nine more dependable machines to our portfolio of products."
