Bloomington, Minnesota, United States: Toro has introduced the GreensPro e1700 greens roller. This heavy-duty, all-electric greens roller is engineered to deliver exceptionally smooth, consistent golf greens while boosting operator efficiency and productivity.

Powered by Toro’s advanced HyperCell Lithium-ion battery technology, the GreensPro e1700 delivers reliable power and performance.

The GreensPro e1700 is designed for maximum coverage and consistency. A 69-inch (175-centimetre) rolling width allows teams to cover significantly more surface area in a single pass. Operator comfort and control are enhanced through new intuitive joystick controls, which allow users of any experience level to easily manage speed and direction with point-and-go steering.

These controls also include an advanced pass alignment function that ensures uniform, repeatable results with the push of a button.

A three-roller configuration ensures the GreensPro e1700 provides optimal surface coverage and consistent ground contact across the entire rolling width. Each drum is driven by an independent electric motor that allows for automatic speed adjustments during turns and stops. This innovative feature actively prevents green scuffing and scrubbing that causes visible turf damage. 

The SmartHitch Integrated Trailer replaces traditional separate trailers or pull-over drawbars, improving the speed and ease of transport. The simple drive-up system allows the GreensPro e1700 to efficiently connect to a transport vehicle without the operator exiting the machine. This system eliminates downtime spent positioning lift bars and manoeuvring separate trailers, reducing physical strain on operators and improving overall safety.

The power behind the GreensPro e1700 is the Toro HyperCell Lithium-ion battery technology. The standard two-battery configuration is capable of providing enough runtime to easily roll more than 18 holes. 

Nate Fisher, Product Marketing Manager at Toro, said: “When it comes to productivity, superintendents are going to see a significant increase in what they can achieve with the GreensPro e1700.

“From the wider rolling width to the SmartHitch transport, it’s designed for maximum efficiency and helping teams cover more ground faster. The virtually silent operation is also a game-changer for those essential early morning rolling shifts.”
