Jacobsen G-PLEX™ III


The third choice that I have made is the Jacobsen G - PLEX III. Some features of the mower include One Touch Lift/Lower, Onboard Backlapping, Patented Cutting Unit Stabilizer, Swing-Out Center Real, and Free-Flowing Steerable Cutting Heads. It has a 62 inch mowing width, diesel powered engine, and a 2 year limited warranty. Of all of the mowers I believe this is probably the worst choice of all. I only give this one a rating of 5 out of 10

John Deere 2500E Diesel Greens Mower



Again I chose to do the best quality mower available by John Deere, which is the John Deere 2500E Diesel Greens mower. Some features include an Electric reel drive system instead of hydraulic reel drive system to eliminate leaks which could cause grass damage, Reduced sound levels and reduced fuel consumption at 2250 rpm, Brushless electric reel motors for compact design and optimal efficiency, Individual electric reel controllers maintain consistent reel speed for superior cut quality, Standard on-board reel circuit electrical system diagnostics located on the operator command arm, 48-volt alternator powers reel drive motors, requiring no additional batteries on unit, Reel switch box controls direction and speed of electric motor rotation, Weather-sealed connectors and appropriate strain relief provide increased security for electrical components, and Quiet but powerful Yanmar diesel engine. The mower has a 2 year limited warranty with an optional extended warranty for an extra cost, diesel powered motor, anda 66 inch mowing width. The mower cost $34,770.00 with the cost going up from there with additional features. I would give this mower a 8 out of 10

Toro Greensmaster® 3250-D Greens Mower


The first mower that I chose to blog about is the Toro Greensmaster 3250-D. When you buy a mower you do not want to just look at price and get the cheapest, so I choose to blog the 3 best greens mowers available by the 3 major turf equipment companies. Some features of the Toro include up 1/16 inch Mowing Height, 21 hp Vanguard/Daihatsu® Engine, Joystick Controls, Larger Tires for Reduced Compaction, Low Cutting Unit Pull Points, Safe Operation, Easy to Remove Center Basket, Operator Comfort, Quick Connect, Legendary Free Floating Cutting System, Perfect Triangle Wheel Stand Design, Patented 3 Wheel Drive Technology, Maintenance Ease, Safety Interlock System, and Leak Detection. It has a 2 year limited warranty, 59 inch mowing width, and a diesel powered engine. All of these features make this a great mower. I would give the mower a 9 out of 10.
