As the acclaimed leader in riding greensmowers,

The Toro Company takes great pride in offering the highest quality products that are on the cutting edge of technology.

And when it comes to a smooth cutting surface, no product matches the beauty and consistency achieved with the new Riding

Greensmaster Cutting Unit from Toro.

D UA L P O I N T A D J U S T M E N T

The dual point adjustment (DPA) simplifies the bedknife-to-reel alignment process. A clicking dial on each side of the cutting unit adjusts and holds the bedknife in exact increments. It’s fast, easy and requires no special tools. The bedknife maintains a consistent angle throughout the life of the reel, providing the same quality of cut every time out.

R E D U C E D M A I N T E N A N C E

Daily maintenance on the new cutting unit has never been easier. Sealed bearings are maintenance-free and eliminate spills on greens due to over-greasing. The precisely manufactured rollers remain level without adjustments and the bedknife removes easily for sharpening. This all accounts for fewer human errors and greater time savings.

QUA L I T Y D E S I G N

Unlike any other cutting unit available today, the new

Greensmaster Cutting Unit design features a die-cast aluminum frame. This increases the torsional strength of the cutting unit and protects against corrosion. Every part is precisely manufactured for perfect alignment to provide the highest quality cut. Both the 8 and 11-blade reels are made from harder steel for a longer life. Grass baskets are mounted independent of the cutting units to ensure that the varying weight of the basket does not affect the cutting performance.

M A D E TO F I T

The revolutionary new Riding Greensmaster Cutting Unit fits all present and past Toro riding greensmowers.

E N V I E D D E S I

LOW I M PAC T

S A F E R H Y D R AU L I C S Leak prevention is critical on and around the greens. We completely overhauled the hydraulic system on the 3150 to further prevent damaging leaks. The result is a mono-valve block design that requires no camshaft or detents and 17% fewer hydraulic connections. The Toro Guardian ® Leak Detector is standard on the 3150 and optional on the 3250-D.

A LWAY S O N T H E J O B

Mechanics and superintendents alike appreciate the service-friendly design of the Toro Greensmaster. The new cutting unit virtually eliminates daily maintenance, and an available onboard backlapping kit helps keep the blades sharp. Service points are readily accessible and designed for quick adjustments without special tools.

E N V I E D D E S I G N The legendary Toro triplex design, with its unique placement of the cutting units, offers numerous advantages, including the easy-empty center basket. Rear-wheel tracking within the radius of the front wheels helps keep operators out of trouble in sharp turns. The low-mounted engine and hydraulic components provide exceptional hillside stability. This configuration also improves service and maintenance accessibility.

LOW I M PAC T Large floatation tires disperse the weight of the mower for a lighter footprint that is gentler on turf. The softer, two-ply sidewalls flex through the turns to reduce scuffing and compaction.

P OW E R O P T I O N S

A J OY TO RU N

P OW E R O P T I O N S Choose from three different models to deliver the performance you demand. The 18 hp Briggs & Stratton ® Vanguard ® V-twin engine on the 3100 and 3150 is a strong performer with plenty of torque at low RPMs. This reduces engine noise and vibration for increased operator comfort and longer engine life. A powerful, 21 hp Briggs &

Stratton/Daihatsu Diesel engine provides ample reserve power on the

3250-D. Hydrostatic drive helps reduce brake wear, while available 3-wheel drive on the 3150 and 3250-D provide superior traction when needed.

A J OY TO RU N Operator comfort is a key component to the Toro Greensmaster series. An ergonomic bucket seat, adjustable steering arm and a quiet engine keep the driver productive. Controls are easy to operate and located for driver convenience. A single joystick on the 3150 and 3250-D controls the cutting units, making operation more precise and easier to master. Additional safety features include a rollover protection system on optional 3-wheel drive models.
