STAGE V EMISSIONS INNOVATION WITH TORO
ecause of the changes
B
Stage V has brought into play , it has now become crucial for customers to consider the ‘ real mowing ’ productivity of their turfcare machinery .
Is there a different way to compile a fleet or can different purchasing decisions be made that allow customers to remain profitable and productive ? It might cost more to buy a specific machine but if you only need to buy one machine to perform more than one function or a machine like the Toro LT-F3000 triple flail , which is so productive it can enable you to reduce the cutting frequency , those factors become more important than ever .
When it comes to Toro , the manufacturer has benefitted from its experience with the roll-out of Tier IV products in North America . Having learned how to design out inefficiencies in systems such as , but not limited to , hydraulics and engine cooling , Toro instead focused on delivering a range of efficient , capable solutions to customers .
The LT2240 ( previously the CT2240 ) compact triple has had its horsepower reduced from 19kW to 18.7kW , a reduction of only 1.5 percent , but a reduction that avoids the added cost and complexity of a DPF filter . Despite the reduced power output compared to its bigger brother , the LT3340 , the LT2240 offers many of the same features , the same width of cut and is available with the larger 250mm ( 10ins ) diameter cutter units , which were previously limited to the LT3340 .
