Case Study: a leading lightweight fairway mower manufacturer achieves greater fuel efficiency and operational control with Eaton

Eaton’s closed circuit piston products improve fuel efficiency and operational control for lightweight fairway mowers

a leading lightweight fairway mower manufacturing company needed to improve its mowers to have higher fuel efficiency without increasing its own manufacturing costs for the end user. Eaton provided a solution using its 72400 medium duty closed-circuit piston pump and electronic controls.

The solution from Eaton featured fewer parts, which streamlined manufacturing and reduced maintenance, while its integrated cruise control improved pump signal response for greater efficiency. This resulted in a mower that offered golf course operators enhanced operational control, significantly reduced fuel consumption, and lower maintenance requirements, all without an increase in the manufacturing cost.
