2025 John Deere E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mower 2550

2025 John Deere E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mower 2550

• A proven design that drives the cutting unit with electric reel motors

• 102 potential leak points eliminated in the reel circuit

• Reduced sound levels and fuel consumption @ 2250 RPM

• Greatly reduce triplex ring with exclusive offset cutting units

Features may include:

• Electric reel drive system eliminates 102 hydraulic leak points, minimizing leak opportunities

• Ninety percent of all hydraulic leaks occur in the reel hydraulic circuit, mainly due to the necessity of having flexible hoses extending from the front of the machine for the front reels. These hoses see a lot of flexing during the mowing day as cutting units are raised and lowered. Cutting units also steer and float to follow undulations, increasing fatigue for the reel motor hoses.

• The 2550 E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mower has eliminated 102 potential leak points by removing all hydraulics from the cutting unit drive circuit.

• This has eliminated the following hydraulic components:

• Reel drive section of hydraulic triple pump

• Hydraulic reel motors

• Backlapping valve

• Hydraulic oil cooler

• Flexible hoses

• Fittings

• Hard lines

• Fewer hydraulic components leads to fewer leaks, increasing confidence that the finely manicured turf will not be damaged by hot hydraulic oil spilled onto a playing surface before an important tournament.

• Reduced sound levels and reduced fuel consumption at 2250 rpm; throttle notch serves as a guide

• The 2550 E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mower is unique because electrical power is used to minimize hydraulic leak opportunities in the reel circuit, but an engine is utilized to ensure optimal performance throughout the day. This presents an opportunity to further enhance machine performance through reduced sound levels and improved fuel savings by running the machine at less-than-full throttle. Scalping and verticutting operations should always be done with the engine at its fullest throttle level.

• The 2550 E-Cut Hybrid Triplex Mower can be effectively run in mow at an engine rpm reduced to 2250 rpm. At this operating rpm, the operator may experience up to a 6-dB(A) reduction in sound on diesel machines and 4 dB(A) on gas machines, compared to operating at full throttle. Keep in mind that decibel-amp is measured on a logarithmic curve, so even a 1-dB(A) sound reduction is substantial.

• In addition to the reduced sound levels, you may also experience fuel savings as well. Current studies have shown that, depending on conditions and usage, fuel savings can be as high as 30 percent when running the machine at 2250 rpm as opposed to running at full throttle.

• To help operators gauge the 2250-rpm level, a throttle notch has been incorporated into the slot for the throttle lever. To approximate 2250 rpm, the bottom edge of the throttle lever should line up with the notch in the throttle lever slot. This will not equate to exactly 2250 rpm, but will get operators close to this level, allowing them to effectively reduce sound levels and decrease fuel consumption during operation.

• Brushless electric reel motors for compact design and optimal efficiency

• The electric reel motors on the 2550 E-Cut™ Hybrid Triplex Mowers are brushless, allowing them to be compact in size, roughly equal to that of today's hydraulic reel motors. The brushless motors are very efficient, leading to years of optimal performance with very minimal maintenance, and sealed for protection from the elements.
