Toro

The Groundsmaster® 3500 Series is a revolutionary triplex rotary mower designed for superior performance trimming. The free-floating Contour™ Plus cutting decks allow mowing of undulating terrain without scalping. The powerful engine and exclusive traction drive system, gets the mowing job done quickly.

The Toro Series/Parallel™ traction drive system delivers consistent traction in any condition, including wet grass and uneven terrain, by maintaining power to two out of three wheels at all times, preventing tire slippage and damage. Sidewinder cutting units adjust 24 inches for optimal turf care by shifting tire tracks within the mowing path, while Contour™ Plus cutting technology enhances cut quality through air inlet pockets, an acceleration baffle, and a ground-following deck design with dual front and rear rollers for smooth operation on challenging slopes.

  • Superior Traction: Toro’s Series/Parallel™ traction drive system ensures consistent grip on wet grass and uneven terrain with its full-time 3-wheel drive.
  • Optimised Turf Care: Sidewinder cutting units minimise turf wear by shifting tire tracks within the mowing path, while Contour™ Plus technology delivers a superior cut quality.
  • Exceptional Maneuverability: The ground-following deck design with dual front and rear rollers allows for smooth operation on challenging terrain.

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.
