With the grass-cutting season in full swing, it is vital turf mowers are up to the challenge of frequent cutting to continually produce the best possible after-cut appearance on the golf course. 

Toro’s 8-blade cylinder. 

For all those operating Toro machinery, replacing old or worn cutting cylinders with new units from the Genuine Toro Parts range is the only way to ensure the perfect fit and function needed to ensure the mower’s superior quality of cut. That’s according to distributor Lely UK, who says fitting a genuine Toro cylinder, against an inferior ‘will-fit’ part, is the only guarantee clubs have when it comes to producing a consistently-accurate cut with no turf damage. 

Whether operators choose a 5, 7, 8, 11 or 14-blade cylinder to replace or upgrade old ones, Toro cylinders don’t just make tall grass short like many ‘will-fit’ inferior quality parts, they guarantee a crisper, truer cut right down to 2.5mm. 

Genuine Toro cylinders deliver a highly precise cutting motion, which cuts the grass blade ends cleanly away, ensuring healthier growth, smoother turf and the best playability.

Lely says that using genuine Toro cylinders saves time, too. That’s because, by investing in a cylinder that fits perfectly, operators are spared the time-consuming job of grinding the cylinder to reduce abrasive wear between the blades and bedknife. 

Dan Dubas, from sales and marketing for Toro Parts at Lely, comments: “To ensure you are cutting to the best of your machine’s ability, there’s a simple and easy test to check the cylinder’s performance. The ‘paper test’ involves running a strip of paper through the cutting unit. If it produces a clean cut, your cylinders are fine, if it’s anything less than perfect, it’s time to regrind or replace.

“And the only way to guarantee superior performance in form, fit and function is to opt for genuine Toro Parts. But investing in the best doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the most expensive option, Toro cylinders are competitively priced and provide excellent value.”
