NEW TORO MOWER

REVEALED AT SALTEX

NEW AND IMPROVED CYLINDER MOWER FOR GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

Headlining for Toro at SALTEX will be the new LT2240 cylinder mower which replaces the popular CT2240 .
The CT2240 , as a commercial triplex mower , had to satisfy a far wider brief than a dedicated golf or sports turf machine , it needed to meet hugely varied end user needs . From local authorities , large institutions and contractors through to estate owners , schools and landscapers , the CT2240 could be relied upon to mow everything from litter strewn roadside verges , amenity and parkland though to managing golf roughs and keeping winter sports turf in check .
The LT2240 is no different in that respect , but for that fact that it is tougher and more powerful than its predecessor , yet still compact and light enough to enable access to the most confined environments .
At 214kg lighter than the CT2240 it ’ s even more suited for transportation between sites , while the 195mm narrower transport width brings increased site accessibility . And thanks to the reduction in weight , fuel consumption is 41 percent lower . These improvements bring big differences when it comes to ease of use , productivity and operational costs .
In addition to that , the redesign includes an engine adjustment to bring it below 19kW meaning it does not need a Diesel Particulate Filter . This simple adjustment keeps the purchase price lower and with the option of up grading from eight to 10 inch cutting units , ensures its performance remains high .
Debuting for Toro on stand H075 will be the new LT2240 cylinder mower .
Extremely bright and designed to last the life of the mower , the full LED lighting kit with brake lights on the LT2240 means road use isn ’ t a problem throughout the year . There ’ s also an optimised hydraulic system , independent cutting units , an intuitive infocentre and fullfolding ROPS .
Visit stand H075 at SALTEX to see Toro ’ s LT2240 cylinder mower , plus much more .
