E-quipment highlight: Toro GreensPro e1700 electric greens roller

Why it matters: Zero‑emission rollers cut noise, fuel costs, and pollution, fast‑tracking golf courses toward sustainable operations.
- Toro launches the GreensPro e1700, featuring three independent electric rollers, a SmartHitch transport system, and expandable battery packs up to 9.2 kWh for rolling up to 18 greens per charge.
- Nate Fisher, Toro’s product marketing manager, highlights the wider rolling width and virtually silent operation as game‑changers for early‑morning efficiency.
- Peter Johnson points out EPA data showing gas‑powered lawn equipment accounts for about 5% of U.S. air pollution, underscoring the environmental advantage of Toro’s electric solution.
- EnergySage is mentioned as a resource for solar installer quotes, hinting at the broader clean‑energy transition in grounds‑keeping equipment.
Toro’s new GreensPro e1700 electric greens roller delivers silent, battery‑powered performance with wider coverage and SmartHitch transport, promising higher productivity and far less emissions for golf courses. Experts say this shift reflects a broader move away from internal‑combustion tools that EPA data shows disproportionately pollute the air.
