NEW RANSOMES TECH REVEALED TO UK GUESTS
At San Diego Golf Show

A party of 70 Ransomes Jacobsen guests and staff attended the Golf Industry Show in San Diego recently and were among the first people in the industry to see a prototype of Jacobsen's new lithium ion ride-on greens mower.

The current version of the Jacobsen Eclipse 322, is available in its hybrid configuration powered by either a small petrol or diesel engine running a continuous 48 volt generator or with a drop-in 48 volt battery pack. The new lithium ion battery power pack, revealed exclusively at the San Diego event provides enough power to cut up to 21 greens in a single charge.

The group for the five-day round trip was made up predominantly of greenkeepers from the UK and Europe, enhanced by others from all areas within the Ransomes Jacobsen marketing territory, which encompasses Iceland to India and beyond.

Whilst in San Diego the group also visited Coronado Golf Course for the joint Smithco/Turfco Demo Event where the two manufacturers presented their new products for the 2013 season. This was an opportunity for the group to see the recent advances sprayer technology, especially the use of satellite navigation and top dressing applications, which can now spread wider and with exceptional accuracy.

Jaey Goodchild, Course Manager at Bowood Golf Resort commented, "What a fantastic trip! From start to finish, the education, going to the Show, and the overall hospitality were absolutely brilliant. The attention to detail and the organisation of the whole trip was a logistical triumph."
