O
nly Toro has the decades of
experience necessary to deliv-
er another perfect combina-
tion of the features you want and need.
Our Groundsmaster
®
3500-D, with
Toro’s exclusive Sidewinder
™
cutting sys-
tem, is a revolutionary advancement in
rotary mowers. Now you can get a cham-
pionship-quality cut from a rotary prod-
uct in trim applications on undulating
terrain—with virtually no scalping.
That’s because the Groundsmaster
3500-D features Toro’s exclusive
Contour
TM
Plus cutting technology, with
free-floating decks that follow the shape
of the ground. It also has special air
inlets to keep the grass standing tall for
the cleanest possible cut. And the
Sidewinder system gives you
the ability to slide the
decks 12" (30.5 cm) to either side for
varied tire tracking and to trim bunkers
while keeping traction wheels away from
the edge.
Scores Big with
Superintendents
Introduced in late 2000, the
Groundsmaster 3500 is quickly winning
fans among superintendents.
“It’s just a far superior piece of equip-
ment than anything else that is out
there,” says Cindy Johnson, superintend-
ent of the 27-hole Tumble Brook
Country Club in Bloomfield,
Connecticut.
“We saw it at a demo, a field day.
That was when we knew we really want
ed it,” Johnson explains. “It did such a
superb job.”
The Contour Plus cutting system in
the 3500—with three independently
floating 27" decks—is ideal for trimming
on all sorts of rolling or banked surfaces,
even the most challenging berms and
mounds. Its patented Series/Parallel full-
time 3-wheel drive system also gives the
Groundsmaster 3500 excellent traction
with minimized spinout.
“It can climb on hills and every-
thing,” says Johnson. “We use it on all of
our tee banks, green sides and bunker
banks.”
Another experienced superintendent
who’s discovered the advantages of the
Toro Groundsmaster 3500 is Max
Morgan. He is responsible for 54
holes on three courses at the
