Rear rollers provide an attractive striping effect while you mow, greatly enhancing the finished look of your turf.


Time Saving

Time Saving

Unlike any other mower on the market, the Groundsmaster® 3500-D allows you to be more productive. The 173 cm (68") 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. So places that might normally require you to use one or two different machines can be handled by one.


Superior Traction

Superior Traction

The patented Toro Series/ParallelTM 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.


Versatility

Versatility

Kubota® 26 kW (35 hp) (gross) turbocharged liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder, diesel engine provides an abundance of power to handle demanding mowing applications.


Scalp-Free Mowing

Scalp-Free Mowing

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


Quality of Cut

Quality of Cut

The new ContourTM 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. In addition, a unique directional vane and modified discharge opening deliver even clipping dispersion. An optional mulching kit is also available.


Sidewinder® Cutting Unit System


Sidewinder® Cutting Unit System

The Sidewinder® cutting units shift left and right a total of 61 cm (24 inches). This increases the cutting unit overhang for precise trimming. The tire tracks can also be shifted within the mowing path to reduce wear on the turf.

High Height Blade

High Height Blade

A new higher height of cut blade is now available in addition to the standard blade. This blade creates more lift and should be used in higher height of cut application. While there is no absolute height where the blade should be used, it depends on the turf type and clip growth being removed, it should generally be used beginning at 57 mm or 63.5 mm (2-1/4" or 2-1/2") height of cut.
