Features

Scalp-Free Mowing

The ground-following design of each Contour™ Plus free-floating deck permits mowing the most challenging berms without scalping. Two front rollers and a rear roller allow the deck to smoothly pass over turf.

Quality of Cut

The Contour™ Plus cutting technology takes quality of cut to a whole new level. Air inlet pockets keep the grass standing tall for the cleanest possible cut, while an acceleration baffle speeds clipping circulation and assures maximum power. A unique directional vane and modified discharge opening deliver even clipping dispersion. Optional mulching kit is available.

Operator Comfort

Deluxe seat adjusts to let you customize your work environment and reduce fatigue. Plenty of space at the operators station paired with easy-to-read controls increases comfort. Plus the steering wheel tilts for steering preference.

Sidewinder® Cutting Unit System

Sidewinder cutting units shift left and right a total of 24 inches (61 cm). This allows the tire tracks to be shifted within the mowing path to reduce wear on the turf.

Time Saving

Unlike any other mower on the market, the Groundsmaster® 3500-D allows you to be more productive. The 68" (173 cm) width-of-cut allows you to mow generous swaths, yet its compact size and the Sidewinder® system also allow you to make tight maneuvers in trim areas. Locations normally requiring two different machines can be handled by one.

Superior Traction

The unique Toro Series/Parallel™ traction drive system provides steady traction in all conditions, even in wet grass and over undulating terrain. Its full-time, 3-wheel drive system maintains power to two of the three wheels at all times, minimizing tire spinouts and scuffing.
