Toro Blades: Extraordinary Blades for an Extraordinary Machine

You might think that mower blades are basically interchangeable, and that any blade sized correctly will do an adequate job when mounted on your Toro mower. However this is not true at all, and in fact using any other manufacturer’s blades on a Toro machine might very well cause undue wear on your mower, shortening its life expectancy.

In addition, you will almost certainly experience a reduction in performance from your Toro machine, because genuine Toro parts, including mower blades, are always manufactured according to strict specifications, and designed to work optimally with the appropriate Toro turf equipment. To understand exactly why only Toro blades should be used on Toro mowers, continue reading and see just what a significant difference it makes.

The design process for Toro blades

Toro blades are designed with different cutting abilities because there are different intentions are behind each, and these blades are mounted on the kind of mower decks which facilitate that intended cutting action. Each blade will have sharpened edges on both ends and a curved upsail area which generates airflow for the purpose of whipping grass blades upright, so as to expose them to the cutting edges on the blades.

For instance, low sail design will have a corresponding low noise level, with lower power consumption, and a reduced discharge velocity for grass clippings, while a high sail design provides the optimum cut quality for most grass conditions. The Toro blades themselves are engineered very precisely to be perfectly compatible with the cutting unit, whereas generic blades made by other companies are designed and manufactured with no specific cutting deck in mind.

Toro quality testing

All genuine Toro parts are factory-tested to ensure that they pass our rigorous standards for quality and performance, before they are ever offered for sale to the public. Before genuine Toro blades are shipped to a vendor, each one will have been tested for the hardness and strength of the blade, the highest quality cut, the dispersion of grass clippings from the lawnmower deck, the efficient expulsion of cut grass, and the projected life expectancy of the blade itself. Quality goes in before the blade goes out.
