Features

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

Premium Hydraulics
Independent, commercial-duty 10 cc displacement pumps and wheel motors provide instant forward and reverse control without shifting.

Under-the-Deck Skid Plate
Reduces scalping when traveling over uneven terrain and avoids catching while loading onto trailers.

Exclusive T-Bar Steering
Exclusive T-Bar Steering increases productivity. Ergonomically designed to reduce activation force. Unique operator presence control disengages blades and returns unit to neutral without engine kill.

Fast Ground Speed
Infinitely variable ground speed ranging from 0 - 6.2 mph forward, and 0 - 2.2 mph in reverse.

Large Drive Tires
Large 16" drive tires and 9" smooth, caster tires deliver excellent traction and superior floatation.

Patented Adjustable Baffle
Allows operator to achieve maximum cutting performance by fine-tuning deck to conquer changing conditions, at 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.

The industry's toughest 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. Built with maintenance-free sealed ball bearings.

Exclusive TURBO FORCE® Deck
High-capacity 7-gauge TURBO FORCE decks deliver unsurpassed strength, a superior cut, and increased productivity in extreme mowing conditions. Equipped with a patented adjustable baffle, TURBO FORCE decks can be fine-tuned in order to conquer changing turf conditions.

Accessories

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.

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

Soft Baggers
Deck-mounted soft baggers provide convenient debris handling and are quick and easy to attach or remove. Great for seasonal clean-up and small, general-use applications.

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.
