Toro recently introduced a new, high-performance GrandStand HDX stand-on commercial mower for 2023 that’s available with 52-, 60-, and 72-inch (132-, 152-, and 183-centimeter) three-blade decks. The 52- and 60-in. configurations are powered by a 31-horsepower (23-kilowatt) 999-cc Kawasaki FX921 engine. For at lawncare pros seeking more power, a 37-hp (27.5-kW) Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 993-cc EFI engine is available in versions with a 60- and 72-in. deck. All GrandStand HDX mowers have a space-saving flip-up operator platform, and all can reach a top speed of 12 mph (19.3 km/h).

Ready For The Pros

Toro says the GrandStand HDX, which debuted at Equip Expo 2022, provides a winning combination of zero-turn speed and comfort with a walk-behind’s ease of use. Customers who opt for a version with the higher-powered Vanguard engine will additionally benefit from its Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) and Vanguard Oil Guard System, which stretches oil change intervals to 500 hours and results in a 60% savings on maintenance costs.

Other features of note include enhanced dual-capture anti-scalp roller supports and the warranty-backed, 7-guage Turbo Force 2 cutting deck, which boasts an I-beam front end and adjustable, toolless deck baffle. The mower offers adjustable cut heights from 1.5 to 5 in. (3.8 to 12.7 cm) in 0.25-in. (0.64-cm) increments. The operator platform, meanwhile, provides plenty of standing room, a self-adjusting suspension, and sloped sides for greater stability on sloped terrain. The mower also comes equipped with large 24-in. (61-cm) tires, reverse speeds up to 5 mph (8 km/h) reverse ground speed, and big 10.5-gallon (39.7-liter) gas tank.
