Overview

The Groundsmaster® 4500-D continues to provide the clean quality of cut of a reel mower but with the maintenance ease of a rotary. At 109” width of cut, the free-floating Contour™ Plus Decks eliminate scalping, provide dramatic striping and deliver a picture perfect cut. Toro’s exclusive SmartCool™ system keeps your machine on the job and moving forward. Before things get too hot, SmartCool briefly reverses the cooling fan to blast chaff and debris from the intake screens. With a 55 hp (41 kW) Tier 4 Final and Stage V compliant turbo-diesel and the new Smart Power™ technology, that maximizes power to the cutting blades, the Groundsmaster 4500-D is an unprecedented blend of powerful productivity and refined results.

Features

InfoCenter™
InfoCenter™
With this feature you get helpful maintenance reminders and instant notification of potential problems. During normal operation, the InfoCenter displays clear and simple operating information at a glance, while constantly monitoring the internal health of the machine. Audible and visual alarms notify the operator of a potential problem. In the field or at the shop, technicians can quickly identify the source of the issue. Allows operator to adjust sensitivity of electronically controlled foot pedal when moving. This allows the supervisor to set a maximum mowing speed for greater control of operator usage and quality.
