A
t the Toro Company, we’re
grateful to have a reputation
for being innovative and for
continually striving to improve our prod-
ucts and create new ones.
In this spirit, Toro recently
introduced four new mowers in our
popular Reelmaster line, each built for
exceptional performance and improved
after-cut appearance on fairways.
Drawing a great deal of attention at
the 2006 Golf Industry Show, the four
new Reelmaster mowers—models 5210,
5410, 5510 and 5610—feature Toro’s
innovative Dual “Precision” Adjustment
(DPA) cutting units, an all-wheel drive
system and numerous other advanced
capabilities.
Customer-Inspired Design
“The new units are based on research
and feedback we received from golf
course superintendents, operators and
technicians,” says Tony Ferguson,
marketing manager for Toro’s Reelmaster
mowers. “They wanted a better fairway
mower that provided improved quality of
cut and after-cut appearance along with
reduced maintenance, easier adjustments
and improvements in operator comfort.
Based on the feedback we’ve
received from many customer
visits, the new Reelmasters
have succeeded in all of
those areas.”
Ferguson and his crew tested
the new machines at about 100
courses around the country.
Superintendents at these test
sites were impressed.
“Simply put, it did a great
job,” says Jeff Eldridge, golf
course superintendent at the Nicklaus
Golf Club, a newer, high-end, private
facility in Overland Park, Kansas.
Located in a warm-season/cool-season
grass transition zone, the Nicklaus Club
has zoysiagrass fairways, which have
always been a challenge for mowing and
grooming.
“Zoysiagrass is ornery,” Eldridge
explains. “But Toro’s new units are a vast
improvement on zoysiagrass. Right off
the truck it did a great job of mowing.”
DPA Earns Praise
Many superintendents were most
impressed with the mowers’ new
DPA cutting units—an exclusive
Toro innovation that makes reel blade
adjusting much faster and easier.
“The DPA—that’s huge because it’s
so much simpler than other machines in
terms of adjusting it,” says Craig Currier,
golf course superintendent at Bethpage
State Park in Long Island, New York, site
of the 2002 and 2009 U.S. Opens. “The
adjustments on the reels themselves were
really easy. With this, it’s just 1-2-3.”
