PROPERTY OWNER ACCEPTANCE Some property owners have negative reactions to larger, heavier-looking mowers, and are concerned that their lawns may be damaged. With the sleeker Toro GrandStand, that problem is eliminated. Wide drive tires and a wide stance improve hillside performance Anti-fatigue rubber mat reduces vibration and improves footing Protective flap keeps hydro heat away from operator’s shins Toro’s long history of innovative, performance-enhancing products shines through in the design of the GrandStand: SPEED AND MANEUVERABILITY The ability to turn easily, get in and out of tight spaces, and quickly get on and off the mower to pick up debris or move obstacles all contribute to less time spent per property. VISIBILITY The exceptional visibility from the GrandStand protects the operator, the mower and the property. The operator is better able to steer clear of obstacles, identify upcoming changes in terrain and easily pass beneath overhanging branches. TRACTION AND HANDLING The wide stance of the GrandStand enhances hillside stability and control. Because there are no restrictions to limit operator motion, operators can shift their weight as needed to further enhance the performance of the machine. SMOOTH OPERATOR Exclusive variable speed control changes drive tire response without limiting the travel of the controls, or slowing down the engine. From precise maneuvers in delicate areas to training new users, the GrandStand’s easy-to-use controls make operation a breeze. 2-IN-1 VERSATILITY In situations where the operator may want or need to walk, Toro’s foldable operator platform instantly converts the stand-on to a walk-behind. When it’s time to ride, just lower it back down — saving time, money and trailer space by not needing to switch from one mower to another. JOB WELL DONE With proven technology such as Toro’s exclusive TURBO FORCE® cutting deck, you’ll be able to count on an after-cut appearance that can’t be beat. Toro blends toughness with precision by combining a 7-gauge, high-strength steel deck shell, 1/4 “-thick flex-resistant blades, massive cast iron spindle assemblies, a rubber discharge chute and a rugged bullnose front bumper with amazing grass-cutting capabilities.
