Features of the Groundsmaster 1200
The Toro Groundsmaster 1200 is engineered for years of reliable mowing on even the most challenging landscapes.
Built to Last
- Robust Construction: Built with heavy-duty materials, the Groundsmaster 1200 is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use in challenging environments. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements, which saves you money.
- Impact Absorption System: The innovative impact absorption system protects the mower decks and frame from damage during accidental impacts at speeds up to 5 mph. The system reduces your mower’s downtime for repairs and keeps you mowing longer.
- Heavy-Duty Spindles: Ductile cast iron housings and dual tapered roller bearings ensure these spindles can withstand the toughest conditions. They also last up to six times longer than ball bearings, reducing maintenance needs.
- Robust Gearboxes: Overrunning clutches in the deck gearboxes isolate the mower and tractor from the force of accidental blade impacts to minimize potential damage and help protect your investment in your mower.
Exceptional Cut Quality: Designed for Professional Results
The Groundsmaster 1200 isn’t just about durability; it delivers a superior cut every time. Numerous features contribute to a professional finish:
- Dual Roller System: Front rollers prevent scalping on uneven terrain, while rear rollers create a beautiful striped effect on the lawn. Easy-access grease points on each roller simplify maintenance to help save you time, so you can keep the mower operating at its best.
- Independent Deck Articulation: The mower’s decks independently follow and hug ground contours, ensuring a consistent and even cut across your entire mowing area.
- Simple Height Adjustment: Each deck features four mowing height adjustment points that are simple and easy to make, allowing you to quickly and easily select the perfect cutting height for various conditions.
Benefits of the Groundsmaster 1200
Mow More, Faster
With its expansive 12-foot cutting width, the Groundsmaster 1200 covers large areas quickly, significantly reducing the time required for mowing operations. That large cutting width allows you to accomplish more in less time, leading to increased productivity.
The independent, floating cutting decks ensure a consistent and even cut across various terrains, helping to minimize scalping and delivering optimal results that enhance the overall appearance of the turf.
Cost-Effective Operation
The mower’s efficient powertrain and durable components contribute to lower operating costs. Its high productivity and reduced maintenance needs translate to cost savings over the machine’s lifespan, which can mean higher profitability for your business.
Effortless Maneuvering
Despite its large size, the Groundsmaster 1200 is highly maneuverable, thanks to its articulated steering and flexible cutting decks. It can easily navigate around obstacles and tight spaces, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from golf courses to parks and sports fields. It’s also a practical choice for residential use.
Work Comfortably, All Day Long
The Groundsmaster 1200’s ergonomic design, adjustable seating, and intuitive controls prioritize operator comfort. The features help reduce operator fatigue, allowing for longer, more productive work sessions and keeping your staff happier, too. Additionally, the mower includes advanced safety features such as roll-over protection and emergency shut-off mechanisms, ensuring a safe working environment.
Ease of Maintenance
Toro has designed the Groundsmaster 1200 with user-friendly maintenance in mind. Easy access to service points and quick-release levers simplify routine maintenance tasks, minimizing downtime and making it easy to keep the mower in optimal working condition.
