Toro adds hover mower to contractor lineup

The Toro HoverPro hover mower is now available to landscape contractors across North America. Previously only available in commercial golf and sports field segments through Toro distributors, the Toro HoverPro can now be purchased through authorized Toro equipment dealers as well.

As the name suggests, the Toro HoverPro mower hovers above the surface of the turf during operation, allowing the machine to reach areas that traditional mowers and trimmers cannot. The HoverPro is ideal for specialty applications, such as maintaining turf on steep slopes, tight undulations or areas near water. Striking an ideal balance of a light footprint and a rugged design, the machine is both highly maneuverable and durable.

Powered by 57cc (HoverPro 400) and 160cc Honda (HoverPro 450 and 550) engines, the HoverPro makes light work of challenging terrain. The ABS injection-molded deck contributes to a strong, yet lightweight frame which offers remarkable control and outstanding stability in extreme conditions and cutting areas.

There are three models in the HoverPro series to tackle a wide variety of applications. These models include:

• HoverPro 400, which features a 16-inch cutting width, a 25-degree operational angle and a nylon wire cutting system. The unit weighs 27.5 pounds.
• HoverPro 450, featuring an 18-inch cutting width, a 45-degree operational angle and a steel cutting blade. This unit’s operational weight is 38.2 pounds.
• HoverPro 550, which offers a 21-inch cutting width, a 45-degree operational angle and a steel cutting blade. The unit weighs 41.8 pounds.
  

The HoverPro can be equipped with a number of optional accessories including a Hi-Rise kit to increase the height of cut by 1.4 inches, transport wheels to maneuver the machine with less effort around the jobsite and extension handles to simplify the process of working on slopes.

Multi Force enhanced: Toro also added the Pro Force blower attachment to complement the GrandStand Multi Force product family.

Other attachments in the Multi Force line include a 60-inch BOSS plow attachment, the E-Z Vac twin bagger attachment, a Power Broom attachment for snow, ice and debris removal, in addition to the proven Turbo Force cutting deck, available in a variety of widths.

The Pro Force blower is powered by a 26.5 hp kohler Command Pro EFI engine to deliver tremendous air power for fast and easy removal of grass clippings, leaves, aeration cores and other debris. At full throttle, the Pro Force blower can reach air velocities of 7,800 cubic feet per minute (cfm), and the efficient turbine assembly design allows maximum airflow to finish the job faster.

The special edition TITAN HD 2000 Series MyRIDE features Toro bullhorns embossed on the seat and imprinted on the back guard.

Features like the MyRIDE suspension system, which helps reduce bumps and impacts to the operator, and the 7/10-gauge 5.5-inch deep high-strength steel TURBO FORCE 60-inch cutting deck make the TITAN HD is designed to add to the comfort.
