Review

The TORO Workman MDE is one of the best and most efficient utility vehicles available on the market right now.  The Workman is powered by rechargeable batteries which saves the owner money because you don't have to keep buying gas to refuel this vehicle.  The Workman is very heavy-duty and has a maximum work load of 1200lbs.  Which allows the user to put up to 800lbs in the bed, which has a large area where you can put supplies, fertilizer, dirt, etc.  This utility vehicle is made so that you can customize it with a number of attachment to best suit your needs.  One of the things that i really like is the hydraulic bed lift which allows the operator to raise and lower the bed without ever leaving the cab.  This is also nice is you have a very heavy load in the bed so that you don't have to manually lift it.  Another attachment that i like is the enclosed cab and gas heater, which is nice when the weather is rainy or cold, the heated enclosed cab will keep you dry and warm.  The suspension system on the Workman is very nice because it makes the ride very smooth and this can be very important if you are hauling dirt or mulch in the bed so that you don't spill any of it while driving around.  Another great feature is the tow hitch which can allow the user to attach a sprayer, fertilizer spreader, blower, or trailer.  This makes the Workman able to preform a number of tasks without having to buy a whole separate vehicle for spraying or fertilizing which can save money, all you would have to buy is a sprayer or fertilizer that has a tow hitch on it.  I have used a number of utility vehicles while working at a golf course and the workman is much nicer and much more efficient than any vehicle i have ever used.  I would recommend the TORO Workman MDE to anyone who is looking to buy a utility vehicle for use at a golf course.

Review

I believe that the TORO Greensmaster 1600 is one of the best greensmowers on the market right now.  There are several reasons why i think this one reason is because there are lots of different options you can choose from to make the greensmaster fit your needs best.  Suck as the assortment of bedknife blades, and the adjustable cutting height.  Another reason is because of the engine that is in the greensmaster, which is Kawasaki OHV.  This engine is extremely quiet which is very important for a golf course, so that you do not disturb golfers, neighbors or anyone else close by.  This mower can operate at a decent speed also, yet it isn't too fast that you cannot control it.  This is also very important because greens are supposed to be mowed in very straight lines.  The forward weights also help with this because they help to balance the mower.  I have personally had the opportunity to use a Greensmaster earlier this year, and it was very easy to mow with.  It maneuvered very smoothly in every way possible, and i would recommend this mower to anyone.

Review

The TORO Reelmaster 6700-D is one of the newest rough mowers that TORO had developed.  I believe that even though the price seems very high this mower is worth every single penny.  TORO has been know for producing quality products for years and this mower is just another example of that.  The Reelmaster 6700-D has a wide range of benefits including up to date parts and accessories. One huge benefit is the 7 separate cutting reels reaching a maximum cutting width of 135" there are also a variety of available blades for the reels.  Each have a different purpose such as how long they will last or the height of the cut.  This is something that is essential when cutting rough because that is where the most grass is on a golf course. Therefore the more you can cut the faster you can finish the job.  The Reelmaster can run at at top speed of 10mph which is also important, it moves quick enough to get the job done but yet not so fast that it will tear up the grass.  All of the pedals and controls are located right at you fingertips and right under your feet allowing the operator to mow comfortably and efficiently, this includes the power steering which is not just for comfort, it is also so that the operator can maneuver the mower as quickly and efficiently as possible.  There is a seat belt and roll bar on the Reelmaster to keep the operator safe and secure even when mowing on uneven or steep terrain.    The Reelmaster is powered by a Kubota 4-Cylinder diesel engine which provides the mower enough power and torque to get the job done. Overall I am really impresses with this mower and I hope that some day I will have the opportunity to use one.
