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.
