Toro has released the Groundsmaster e3300, a battery-powered option of the out-front rotary mower that will be available this year. The Groundsmaster e3300 features the same rugged chassis, commercial-grade mowing deck and intuitive operator controls as the current diesel-powered platform.
“For over 50 years, Toro has produced innovative rotary mowers that deliver exceptional results that our customers can count on,” product manager Jay Thaker said. “As the industry leader, not only are we expected to, we are excited to build on that expectation with the Groundsmaster e3300, the latest electric option in a legacy product line.”
The Groundsmaster e3300 is powered by HyperCell batteries — Toro’s proprietary, patent-pending lithium-ion technology. Toro has implemented rigorous standards that require every battery to pass extensive environmental and third-party certification testing. The distributed Battery Management System optimizes battery performance to enhance productivity and longevity. Because the BMS is integrated, HyperCell batteries communicate with each other to optimize efficiency and extend the lifecycle, well beyond the 5,000-hour design life of the traction unit. HyperCell batteries provide diagnostic information to simplify and streamline any service needs. A third-party recycling program is available for batteries that reach end-of-life.
The Groundsmaster e3300 can be configured with up to 17 HyperCell batteries for extended runtime in demanding conditions. Smart Power mode optimizes power consumption by continuously and efficiently providing ample cutting power without bogging the machine down. Additionally, a battery reserve setting ensures plenty of power to return the mower to the recharging station. Equipped with an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment-ready 3.3 kW on-board charger, operators can plug in the Groundsmaster e3300 overnight so it’s ready for operation the next day.
The Groundsmaster e3300 comes standard with Toro’s InfoCenter display with battery charge status, hours, alerts, customizable settings and more. It also features the same impact bumpers and rugged 60-inch (152 cm) high-strength steel side or rear discharge mowing deck options as the diesel-powered Groundsmaster models.
