Toro's BIGGEST stand on mower

What happens here

Evaluate the mower's ability to maintain cut quality and maneuverability in extremely wet and challenging conditions. The video demonstrates mowing a lawn that has been recently rained on, with thick, wet grass. Despite the adverse conditions, the Grandstand HDX maintains excellent cut quality, avoiding scalping, skipping, or leaving uncut areas. The mower also demonstrates surprising flotation and minimal rutting, even in soft, muddy sections where a foot would sink. This test proves its robust design and power are capable of handling heavy, wet material without significantly impacting the turf, dispelling assumptions about larger mowers being prone to sinking.

Goal: Verify the mower's effectiveness and impact on turf in saturated environments.
