Lawn mowers were first invented in England, where examples of the early type mowers are still on display at several museums. Much like any other farm equipment that has slowly evolved over the course of time, mowers started out with a simple, yet less efficient design before it got revolutionised as the mechanical workhorse that it currently is. Now\u00a0besides the slight notion that we\u2019ll be evaluating a land mower today, I like to point out how it\u2019s been really impressive how these machines\u00a0have\u00a0constantly been some of the most reliable farm equipment we\u2019ve had for many generations. Though, it\u2019s still just a little short of amazing when you compare that to our passion in cutting grass\u2014well, sort of\u2014but kidding aside, our review for today focuses on another one of Toro\u2019s more recent offering in the crowded land mower market, the\u00a0Toro Groundsmaster\u00ae 4000-D (30448) Rough Mower.<\/p>\n
Improved productivity<\/em><\/p>\n Together with the\u00a0Groundsmaster\u00ae 4010-D, the 4000-D also delivers a solid\u00a0117 foot-pounds (158.6 N) of torque at 58 hp (43.3 kw) and 2,600 rpm. With such amount of power backing the compact equipment, grass cutting becomes relatively more efficient and easier with the help of the 4000-D\u2019s advanced mechanics and powerful engine. In addition, the mower\u2019s shallow deck design allows faster clipping dispersal, letting decks take on more grass much quicker.<\/p>\n Durable design<\/em><\/p>\n True to the manufacturer\u2019s penchant to create highly formidable equipment, the\u00a04000-D have been engineered using heavy-duty welded steel decks and frames in order to provide extra durability and long life. Furthermore, according to the Australian Equipment Wholesalers website; when a deck bumps into any object, the spring-loaded cylinder causes the deck to flex on impact, protecting the mower\u2019s key components so you don\u2019t suffer unscheduled maintenance or downtime which would certainly hit back on your momentum and productivity.<\/p>\n Good maneuverability<\/em><\/p>\n In terms of control, the smooth turning of the 4000-D is made possible by a tight 55.5\u2033 (141 cm) wheelbase and an inner, rear-steering turning angle of 53.5 degrees. The enhanced trimming capability also means that you can get around even the smallest objects and the rare ability of the equipment to mow a 0\u2033 uncut circle (without wheel brakes) allows the operator to mow striping patterns with pure efficiency, leaving no grass uncut.<\/p>\n Easy to maintain<\/em><\/p>\n Sporting an exquisite design, the Toro 4000-D requires fewer parts to stock, while the serviceable ones can be accessed more conveniently in order for regular maintenance checks and repairs to be more efficient and fast. In addition, the machine includes\u00a0rear discharge decks so that converting to Guardian Recycler decks can be easier, which then provides improved clipping management and additional safety.<\/p>\n New: POA<\/p>\nToro Groundsmaster\u00ae 4000-D: Price<\/h2>\n
