Patented Adjustable Baffle


Patented Adjustable Baffle

Allows operator to achieve maximum cutting performance by fine-tuning deck to conquer changing conditions, unique job sites or different times of the season. In extreme conditions, the baffle can be opened in order to conserve power and achieve faster mowing speeds. In less demanding conditions, the baffle can be closed to yield micro-sized particles and maximize discharge velocity.


A flat, crisp cut with precision blades.

A flat, crisp cut with precision blades.

1/4" thick precision blades resist flexing to provide a flat, crisp cut. High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel survives impacts and provides resistance to the rapid wear commonly associated with abrasive conditions.


Smarter design in a bull-nose bumper.


Smarter design in a bull-nose bumper.

7-gauge bull-nose bumper not only protects against frontal impacts, but also contains an integral underskirt to minimize blowout of debris and dust. The bottom, leading edge of the deck is raised 1/4", allowing grass to stand more upright when entering the cutting chamber, ensuring a level cut. Leaf "plowing" during spring and fall clean-up is also significantly reduced.


Rubber Discharge Chute


Rubber Discharge Chute

Made popular on Toro Z Master zero-turn riders, the high-performance rubber discharge chute allows for close trimming without damage and provides exceptional clipping dispersion.


Compact Models


Compact Models

Compact 32", 36" and 40" units can easily fit through gates and maneuver around smaller, tightly landscaped properties.


Choice of Controls


Choice of Controls

Choose between traditional Pistol Grip controls, and Toro exclusive, fatigue reducing T-Bar control system. T-Bar steering increases productivity and is ergonomically designed to reduce activation force. Unique operator presence control disengages blades and returns unit to neutral without engine kill.


T-Bar Curb Hopper Design

T-Bar Curb Hopper Design

Reverse and curb-climbing made easy with patent-pending T-Bar curb hopper design.


Unique Under-the-Deck Skid Plate


Unique Under-the-Deck Skid Plate

Reduces scalping when traveling over uneven terrain and to avoid catching while loading onto trailers.


Rugged Spindle Assembly


Rugged Spindle Assembly

Rigorously tested to ensure that it can survive impacts that would destroy lesser spindles. The cast iron housing, with a massive 9-3/8" diameter base, absorbs impact loads and distributes them across a broader area of the robust deck shell.


Exclusive TURBO FORCE® Deck


Exclusive TURBO FORCE® Deck

High-capacity TURBO FORCE decks deliver unsurpassed strength, a superior cut, and increased productivity in extreme mowing conditions. Equipped with a patent-pending adjustable baffle, TURBO FORCE decks can be fine-tuned in order to conquer changing turf conditions.


Extended Life Drive System


Extended Life Drive System

Extended life drive system with Peerless® 700 series transmission, featuring a 9-spline drive coupler.


Recycler® Mulching Kits


Recycler® Mulching Kits

Recycler mulching kits are widely recognized as the industry's best mulching system. The patented kicker design cuts and re-cuts grass into tiny particles that are then injected into the turf for a "just bagged look". Recycler mulching kits are proven to reduce mowing time by up to 38% vs. bagging.


TRU TRAK® Sulky


TRU TRAK® Sulky

Toro's patented TRU TRAK® sulky is the industry's most innovative sulky design. Large, independently pivoting foot plates greatly reduce operator fatigue while the 2-point connection eliminates jack-knifing in turns or reverse. The unit tracks "true" and straight every time. Foot pads pivot into stowed position when operating in conditions not conducive to sulky operation and for trailering convenience.


Soft Baggers


Soft Baggers

Cloth bag kit available for seasonal clean-up, or small debris collection jobs.


Atomic® Mulching Blades


Atomic® Mulching Blades

Atomic mulching blades feature an aggressive "tooth" design that shreds grass and leaves into small particles.
