2024 John Deere E-Cut™ Hybrid 7700A

2024 John Deere E-Cut™ Hybrid 7700A

• Powerful 41.6 hp (31 kW) diesel engine

• Electric reel drive powered by 240 amp, 56-volt alternator for mowing, scalping and vericutting

• Passcode protected TechControl display

• Reduce fuel consumption, noise, and hydraulic leak points

• Width of Cut – 100" (254 cm) with five 22" (55.9 cm) QA7 reels

• Alternator and Engine LoadMatch™ maintain cut quality in tough conditions

Features may include:

• QA7 electric reel drive system meets customer needs for reduced hydraulic leaks, sound levels, and fuel consumption

• Eliminating 90% of the chances of an unsightly, damaging hydraulic leak by removing 150 leak points from the reel drive circuit

• Fuel Savings of up to 30% on the 7700A E-Cut™ Hybrid, and 21% on the 6700A E-Cut Hybrid, by mowing at reduced throttle minimizes operating costs

• Sound level reduction of up to 3dB(A) when mowing at reduced throttle opens up the operating window by being more friendly to neighbors

• 56-Volt, 240 amp Smart alternator and electric reel motors provide power for mowing, verticutting, and scalping

An innovative 56-volt, 240-amp alternator provides plenty of power for mowing, as well as more rigorous applications of scalping for overseeding and verticutting up to 1/4” (6.35 mm) deep.

• Belt driven from the engine, meaning no additional batteries required and less maintenance

• Integrates with LoadMatch™ by sensing load on the mowing system, and slowing traction speed to maintain cut quality when heavy loads are encountered

To handle the toughest loads that often come with Quick-Adjust 7 (QA7) applications, the reel motors have been updated compared to the QA7 design. The QA7 motors feature longer cooling fins for optimal cooling, and a larger internal bearing design.

• TechControl display maximizes performance and uptime by allowing more control in operation and diagnostics

Passcode-protected TechControl display enables quickly setting or changing mowing speed, turning speed, or transport speed to limit variations in performance by different operators.

Quickly adjust the mow or transport speed to make sure mow speed is what is needed for the changing conditions. The setting can be adjusted precisely using a speedometer app on a smartphone or global positioning system (GPS) device.

Use the TechControl to slow the machine during turns while mowing and protect against turf scuffing and aggressive turning operators.

• AutoPedal™ feature lowers sound levels and fuel consumption during transport

The AutoPedal feature controls engine rpm and transport speed of the machine through the eHydro™ foot pedal controls. AutoPedal is similar to an automobile gas pedal operation; the more the forward pedal is pressed, the faster the machine moves and the higher the engine rpm; pressing the pedal less, the slower the machine moves and the lower the engine rpm.

On conventional machines, the engine rpm is controlled by the operator by means of a manual or electric/manual throttle. Operators are trained to always operate the engine at wide-open throttle. Running at wide open throttle means running the engine at its fastest speed, which increases the sound levels and fuel usage.

The AutoPedal system allows the engine to only run as fast as needed, meaning that as operators transport around the course, the engine speed is only as fast as needed for the transport speed. If the operator approaches play and stops, the engine rpm goes to idle. This makes transporting quieter and since the engine does not run full speed all the time, it reduces fuel consumption.
