We take your greens as
seriously as you do.
Nowhere on your course gets more scrutiny than your greens.
Which is why we offer so many features to help you achieve
quality results. Like patented offset cutting units to prevent
“triplex ring.” New Quick Adjust cutting units to make it easy
to set to the perfect cut height. E-Cut Hybrid technology to
virtually eliminate the possibility of a hydraulic leak. And a
support organization that’s there for you every morning you’re
out on the course.

With offset cutting units, the operator can eliminate “triplex ring” just
by alternating the direction of the
clean-up cut (clockwise or counterclockwise) every day.

Putting power
in its proper place:
the 2500E E-Cut Hybrid.
It’s about advanced technology. And common
sense. The 2500E E-Cut Hybrid is a hybrid
mower that puts power in all the right places.
With a choice of a gas or diesel engine, the
2500E E-Cut Hybrid powers the reels using a
belt-driven alternator. By removing all the
hydraulics from the cutting units, we’ve eliminated 102 potential leak points. And since
90 percent of all hydraulic leaks occur in and
around the reels, the possibility of a leak is
extremely remote.

Three perfect cuts: grass, fuel and noise.

102 HYDRAULIC LEAK
POINTS HAVE BEEN
ELIMINATED ON THE 2500E
E-CUT HYBRID, SINCE ALL
THE HYDRAULICS HAVE BEEN
REMOVED FROM THE CUTTING UNIT DRIVE CIRCUIT.

The 2500E E-Cut Hybrid reduces fuel usage and sound levels, without compromising
cut quality. An alternator keeps the reels going at an ideal speed—while the engine
stays at a reduced throttle. And unlike a battery, which drains over time, the 2500E
E-Cut Hybrid’s alternator stays at a constant power level, delivering the same quality
of cut on the first green as it does on the eighteenth.

THE 2500E E-CUT HYBRID
SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR
THE REELS TO MAINTAIN
2200 RPM WHILE THE
ENGINE RUNS AT LOWER
RPMS, THUS REDUCING
SOUND LEVELS AND
FUEL CONSUMPTION.
THE 2500E E-CUT HYBRID
ELECTRIC BRUSHLESS
REEL MOTORS REQUIRE
LITTLE OR NO MAINTENANCE AND ARE INTERNALLY FILLED WITH
EPOXY FOR MAXIMUM
SEALING.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

ALTERNATOR

By simply looking at LED lights for proper inputs
and outputs on our white box controller, technicians can quickly analyze the electrical system.

Better than a battery: an alternator powers the
reels on the 2500E E-Cut Hybrid, for consistent
power all day long.

A comfortable ride.
Both the 2500B PrecisionCut and the 2500E E-Cut Hybrid
are operator delights. The operator station provides an
excellent view of all the cutting units. A convenient cup
holder is located in the console. And a storage compartment located below the control arm can be used for
clothes, tools or small drink holders.

Cutting unit
The 22-in. standard cutting units
are available with either an 11-blade
greens reel or a 7-blade heavy section reel.

SEAT IS POSITIONED TO
HANDLE SMALL TO LARGE
OPERATORS WITH A WIDE
RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT.

USING AN ACCESSIBLE FOOT
CONTROL, THE OPERATOR CAN
EASILY ADJUST THE 5-POSITION
TILT STEERING COLUMN.

Foot contols
The forward and reverse foot pedals
are easy to identify, with the forward pedal larger than the reverse.

THE HANGER ON THE FRONT OF THE GRASS
CATCHERS HELPS TRANSFER 2/3 OF THE
CLIPPING WEIGHT AWAY FROM THE CUTTING
UNITS AND ONTO THE LIFT ARMS TO MAINTAIN
A CONSISTENT HEIGHT OF CUT.

THERE ARE THREE TIRE OPTIONS FOR BOTH
THE 2500B PRECISIONCUT AND 2500E E-CUT
HYBRID. TWO SETS OF SMOOTH TIRES, AND
TURF TIRES FOR ADDITIONAL TRACTION IN
MORE DIFFICULT AREAS.

Greens Tender™ Conditioner
The Greens Tender Conditioner is available as an attachment for even finer
grooming. It stands grass up for an
even, clean cut.

Light on the green,
precise on the cut.

PrecisionCut

The cutting units on both units are offset to
the left-hand side of the machine. Not only does
this provide good visibility to the center cutting

als

unit, the offset design also allows the operator
to alternate the cleanup cut each day. This allows
the turf an extra day to recover, eliminating
“triplex ring” on the green.

Leave behind a great cut and nothing else.
That’s the theory behind our riding greens
mowers. Both the 2500B PrecisionCut and
2500E E-Cut Hybrid are extremely light on
their feet, with the lowest psi in the industry.
Thanks to a high-strength tubular steel frame,
our riding mowers carry less weight while actually
being stronger than frames that weigh much
more. Low-profile tires also help keep the weight
off. They have a wide footprint, thus minimizing
ground pressure.

Exceptional parts support.
Behind every John Deere product is a parts support network to
get you the high-quality part you need fast. If your distributor
does not have a part in stock, in most cases you can order it by
5 p.m., and have it the next day. Or even order parts online at
www.JDParts.JohnDeere.com.

Using our new reels is
the easiest adjustment
you’ll ever make.
The reels on all our greens mowers make all
adjustments quick and easy. Thanks to a
revolutionary Speed Link system that makes
it possible to adjust height of cut to both sides
of the cutting unit in no time. A linking bar
connects both sides of the rear roller to a
high reduction ratio worm gear, allowing
one-thousandth-of-an-inch adjustments to be
made to both sides of the roller simultaneously
just by using a power drill (or 16 mm wrench).
A simple, precise notch-based system is used
for cut bedknife-to-reel adjustment. And the
reel bedknife shoe eccentric can be rotated to
shift the bedknife closer to a worn reel—so
every reel can work longer before replacement.
So in almost every way possible, these reels set
a new standard. All because we designed them
the way you told us to.

Reel options.
Rear roller power brush
Prevents accumulation of grass
clippings and other debris on
the rear roller, maintaining a
consistently effective height of cut.

Greens Tender™ Conditioner
Slices stolons, controls grain, and
delivers a truer playing surface and
consistently effective height of cut.
Gear-driven for durability and
consistent cutting.

Rollers
Add a smooth roller during seasonal
or regional conditions where the
greens may be wet, soft or stressed.
Or pick a machined grooved roller
with continuous grooves for good
cut quality and a more aggressive cut.

Weight-transferring
grass catchers
New grass catchers transfer the
weight of the grass clippings away
from the cutting unit to maintain
height of cut.

Verticutter
New carbide-tipped verticutter is
ideal for dethatching, slicing rhizomes and stolons, and promoting
more vigorous turf density on playing surfaces. Counter-weighted for
consistent performance. Maximum
depth penetration 0.125 in. (3.1 mm).
