Cutting Deck Protection

The Toro bi-directional impact absorption system was designed for an impact of 5 mph. The spring-loaded cylinder allows the deck to rotate upon impact. This rotating action absorbs the peak force experienced when an operator strikes an object, protecting the main deck and frame components so you have less down time and more productivity.

Robust Gearboxes

The deck gearboxes include an overrunning clutch that isolates the force from accidental blade impacts to keep the mower and tractor safe.

Simple Height of Cut Adjustment

The Groundsmaster 1200 is not only a highly productive mower, it's also very versatile. Each deck features four mowing height adjustment points making it simple and quick to deliver the exact mowing height for superior conditions.

Durable Spindles

Ductile cast iron spindle housing is large in diameter [9 in. (229 mm) at the base] to dissipate impact loads. Dual tapered roller bearings last up to six times longer than ball bearings.

Dual Rollers

The two full width rollers on the front and rear of each deck help deliver an exceptional quality of cut. The front roller help reduce scalping in undulated terrain while the rear roller delivers the exceptional turf striping. Each roller includes heavy duty bearings featuring easy access grease points.

Maximum Productivity

The Groundsmaster 1200 features a deck lift system allowing for the decks to be lifted from the turf while the PTO is engaged to quickly turn around without scuffing or transport over cart paths. This system helps keep the operator running at peak productivity.

Quick Transport

The Groundsmaster 1200 wing decks fold up near vertical for a narrow 86" (218.4cm) transport width making it easy to get from site to site. Additionally, the transport wheels feature a torsion axle delivering a remarkably smooth ride making transport quick and comfortable.

7-Gauge Welded Steel Decks

The deck shells are constructed from high-strength 7-gauge welded steel, 33% thicker and 75% stronger than ordinary 10 gauge commercial steel used in 7/10 decks.

Folding Rollover Protection System (ROPS)

A Rollover Protection System (ROPS), complete with seat belt, comes standard for operator protection in the case of accidental rollovers and tipovers. In situations where sufficient vertical clearance is not available, such as loading on an enclosed trailer, the ROPS can be temporarily unlocked and folded down.

Adjustable Baffle

The patent-pending adjustable baffle design on the 72" (183 cm) Side Discharge and 60" (152 cm) Side Discharge allows operator to quickly fine tune cutting performance to meet changing turf conditions. The adjustable front baffle position is easily moved in a matter of seconds without any tools.

Industry's Toughest Spindle Assembly

The cast iron spindle housings feature a massive 9 inch (22.9 cm) diameter base and eight-bolt mounting pattern that spread impact loads across a broader area of the robust deck shell. Combine that with the high-efficiency, tapered roller bearings that offer greater durability than spindles that use ball bearings. The result is greater stability and strength, providing longer deck and spindle life.
