Tough Spindle Assembly


Tough Spindle Assembly

The industry's toughest spindle assembly are tested to take a beating that would destroy most spindle assemblies. A cast iron housing with a massive 9-3/8 inches (23.8 cm) diameter base absorbs impacts and distributes the load across the robust deck shell. Plus, Tomkin® tapered roller bearings last up to six times longer than ball bearings.


Traction-PlusTM

Traction-PlusTM

Traction-PlusTM automatically takes 30% of the weight off the cutting units for more floatation, and puts it on the traction wheels. Weight transfer gradually increases up to 50% when climbing hillsides for a surefooted performance.


Speedy Transport


Speedy Transport

For quick job to job transport, simply raise the outboard cutting decks. They automatically rotate rearward, then lower for clear side and rear views. Travel safely at transport speeds up to 20 mph. The swept back design of the Groundsmaster® 580-D transfers the cutting unit weight to the rear of the machine for a well-balanced, smooth transport drive.


Breakaway Decks


Breakaway Decks

Should the operator misjudge distance, the outboard cutting unit will pivot away from the object that's been hit on a rotating push arm. To reset, simply raise the cutting unit.


Operator Friendly Design


Operator Friendly Design

The Groundsmaster® 580-D is ergonomically designed for comfort and easy operation. The deluxe seat and the patented steering column adjusts to let you customize your work environment and reduce fatigue. Plenty of space at the operator's station paired with easy-to-read controls also increases comfort. The 580-D uses multiple disc brakes, just like the ones on your car or truck, for reliable high-performance braking. Also, the foot controls are very similar to automotive controls - with gas and brake pedals in proximity - making it much more user friendly to operators.


4-Wheel Drive Option

4-Wheel Drive Option

Front traction works in parallel with two speed single high torque hydraulic rear wheel motors to provide 4- wheel drive traction.


Proven Durability

Proven Durability

The Groundsmaster® 580-D has proven itself to be a rugged, durable performer since its introduction in 1989. Heavy duty welded steel decks and frames provide extra durability and long life. The traction unit uses variable axial two-speed piston motors to drive planetary gear final drives. The planetary system gears down the load on the wheel motors resulting in lower pressures, lower temperatures, higher efficiency and longer life.


Serviceability Ease

Serviceability Ease

The engine, transmission, and cooling system can be easily reached by snapping off a few panels and removing shrouds. The deck spindles can be greased without having to remove deck covers. Quickly access the deck belt areas and belt spindles by removing the easy-off covers. Also, the Triflex cutting unit flips up for convenient servicing. The 580-D comes standard with Automated Control ElectronicsTM, an electronic diagnostics system increases reliability, functionality, and serviceability. The hand-held diagnostic tool aids service technicians in pinpointing problems. Rather than guessing the location of trouble spots, or spending unproductive time searching for problems, this tool allows the service technician to easily determine causes.


Precision Maneuverability

Precision Maneuverability

The remarkable agility of the Groundsmaster® 580-D means you can trim less than an 18" circle around trees, around a 90 degree corner, or turn back 180 degrees with no uncut grass remaining. Individual dual wheel brakes assist to provide smooth control with any turn. A Sunstrand® hydrostatic pump allows quick, smooth changes in speed and direction.
