NEW TECHNOLOGY Toro Groundsmaster 3200 and 3300
Bringing a unique balance of productivity , durability and value to the UK ’ s groundscare customers , the new machines are the next generation of out-front rotary mowers and have all the benefits out-front rotaries are known for , but with significant performance enhancements .
When it launched in 2019 , little did anyone know just how widely appreciated this series would become in 2020 . As cutting regimes in many places were reduced , the Toro Groundsmaster 3200 and 3300 came to the fore . Their versatility to cope with the upshot of reduced mowing cycles and the resulting longer coarser grass and give yearround productivity had never been more needed or valued .
These machines brought more choice for customers . Rotary and flail cutting deck options provide flexibility and value and a two-tier rotary deck met with customers ’ feature and price requirements . The 24.7hp and a 37.4hp Yanmar diesel engines make simple work of tough jobs and the legendary cutting deck is easy to adjust for simple maintenance . The bullnose bumper , rugged spindles and 7-gauge high strength steel decks are built for any terrain and the CrossTrax all-wheel drive system provides automatic traction control , shifting power to the wheels in slippery conditions .
OUTSTANDING INNOVATION Toro LT-F3000 triple flail
Toro ’ s LT-F3000 has always been a popular choice for grounds customers wanting maximum productivity and unrivalled versatility , and never more so than in 2020 when grounds teams were working at reduced rates across the nation .
