Throughout our history, using innovation to solve real customer problems has been a hallmark of our success. With a focus on efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership, our current offering includes products powered by propane, biodiesel and advanced batteries – made more efficient by incorporating electronic fuel injection, hybrid and electric technologies. Other product benefits include GPS-supported technologies to apply resources and other inputs more precisely, and highly efficient LED solutions for professional lighting. These innovations help to provide better functioning landscapes and ecosystems while reducing resource use.
Golf/Grounds
- Toro’s innovative GeoLink® system for Multi Pro® sprayers incorporates GPS technology and individual nozzle control to help golf course and grounds professionals achieve a more precise, repeatable and consistent spray coverage, eliminating overspray and gaps, and significantly reducing overall application costs.
- In 2017, Toro announced a partnership with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) to support research efforts in GPS sprayer technology to benefit turf maintenance practices. With use of Toro’s Multi Pro 5800 with GeoLink, we are working to minimise the amount of inputs applied to a site by accurately mapping the location of problems and treating only the affected areas. Combining these unique tools helps us to meet customer needs, while optimising the inputs of labour, resources and capital.
- In 2015, Toro introduced the industry’s first fairway mower with a true hybrid drive system. With exclusive PowerMatch™ technology, the Reelmaster® 5010-H delivers power when and where it’s needed. Utilizing a motor generator and battery pack, in conjunction with a Tier 4 Final certified low-emission diesel engine, the mower boasts an average fuel savings of 20 percent when compared to conventional fairway mowers, and additional fuel savings when operated in economy mode.
- The Toro® Greensmaster® eFlex™, the industry’s first lithium-ion battery-powered walk greens mower, is now manicuring greens and sports fields at championship venues around the world. Customers and bystanders appreciate the quieter operation, and the fact that the eFlex can mow up to nine greens on a single charge.
- Toro’s Greensmaster® TriFlex™ Hybrid riding greens mower features an all-electric reel drive system, reducing the consumption of hydraulic oil.
- With a focus on innovation and environmental responsibility, Toro’s EnergySmart™ label ensures confidence in the efficient utilization of fuel and labor – and providing sustainability improvements for customers.
Residential/Commercial
- Several Toro® and Exmark® commercial mowers incorporate closed-loop Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems to offer significant benefits in improved startability, stronger performance, and dramatically reduced fuel consumption. In some cases, commercial landscapers who have adopted EFI technology have documented up to 25 percent less fuel usage than comparable carbureted engines.
- Toro’s Horizon™ technology on select Z Master® models, and Exmark's patented RED technology on select Lazer Z® models, provides onboard intelligence to control mower power and efficiency with defined performance modes. Coupled with EFI and E-governor technologies, Horizon and RED-equipped models can use up to 40 percent less fuel than their carbureted counterparts.
- Incorporating the latest in LED technology, the innovative FLEX GOLD™ Series LED lamps from Unique Lighting Systems® can reduce energy usage by up to 85 percent compared to halogen lamps.
- Rivaling the power and performance of gas-powered models, Toro’s all-new PowerPlex® family of 40V lithium ion battery-powered handheld tools features a versatile system that allows homeowners to easily switch from task to task with the same interchangeable battery pack. The line includes a debris blower, chainsaw, 61 cm hedge trimmer, 33 cm string trimmer/edger, and 36.6 cm string trimmer. ¬¬
- Toro and Exmark were first in the turf industry to approve B20 biodiesel fuel for most commercial and landscape contractor equipment.
- Our proprietary Recycler® cutting system mulches grass clippings into fine particles to return vital nutrients and moisture back to the soil, helping reduce garden waste sent to landfills and fertiliser usage.
