New Line of Toro® Turf Renovation Equipment Available
for Landscape Professionals

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (Fall 2011) - The Toro Company now offers a line of turf renovation equipment, expanding its offerings for professional landscape contractors. The new aerators and slit seeders are an ideal addition to any turf-care professional's equipment fleet because they help deliver maximum productivity on every job site.

“Toro continues to focus on developing new and innovative products for the professional landscape contractor,” says Ross Hawley, marketing manager for Toro. “The integration of aerators and slit seeders gives customers more productivity-improving options from the Toro brand.”

As part of the new turf renovation line, Toro now offers two aerators - a 21” single hydro walk-behind and a 30” dual hydro ride-on -- so customers can choose the model that best fits their particular needs. Toro aerators are designed for high productivity and are compact enough to go anywhere. With zero-turn maneuverability, variable speed, and reversible traction drive, these aerators can easily get into, and out of, tight areas.

Toro's 20” slit seeders are capable of power-seeding, dethatching and verticutting. These 3-in-1 machines hold up to 40 lbs. of seed, allowing operators to seed up to 8,000 sq. ft. without refilling. They deliver zero-turn maneuverability, even on hills, and a variable-speed drive system that allows forward and reverse operation.
