Fairway is one of the parts of a golf course. The ball should land within this area. Back in the old days, there were not clear cut fairways. Modern fairways have two parts including the landing zone and the fringe linking the green and the fairway. The surroundings dictate the size and shape of the fairway. However, it should be designed strategically with the game and maintenance in mind. 

Different areas require different types of Jacobsen golf course mowers. 7700A PrecisionCut™ Fairway Mower is one of the mowers used in the maintenance of the fairway. You can contact a used turf equipment supplier to learn about mowers for other areas. This article covers the features of 7700A PrecisionCut™ Fairway Mower.

TechControl display 

Easy-to-read TechControl display is passcode protected. It makes it easy to control operation and diagnostics. Different conditions require different mowing, transport or turning speeds. You can quickly change transport speed, turning speed or mowing speed. You can use a GPS device such as a smartphone to precisely adjust settings using a speedometer app. Cutting units are lifted at turns. This is where the turn speed control comes into play. These units are lowered after the turn is made. The mower returns to the mow speed.

The operator can also set a language for the TechControl.
