Used Toro 3500-D Sidewinder®

The unique Toro Series/Parallel traction drive system provides steady traction in all conditions, even in wet grass and over undulating terrain. Its full-time, 3-wheel drive system maintains power to two of the three wheels at all times, minimizing tire spinouts and scuffing.
Sidewinder cutting units shift left and right a total of 24 inches (61 cm). This allows the tire tracks to be shifted within the mowing path to reduce wear on the turf.
The Contour Plus cutting technology takes quality of cut to a whole new level. Air inlet pockets keep the grass standing tall for the cleanest possible cut, while an acceleration baffle speeds clipping circulation and assures maximum power.
The ground-following design of each Contour Plus free-floating deck permits mowing the most challenging berms without scalping. Two front rollers and a rear roller allow the deck to smoothly pass over turf.

The Groundsmaster® 3500 Series is a revolutionary triplex rotary mower designed for superior performance trimming. The free-floating Contour Plus cutting decks allow mowing of undulating terrain without scalping. The powerful engine and exclusive traction drive system, gets the mowing job done quickly.

The Groundsmaster® 3500-D is a revolutionary triplex rotary mower designed for superior performance trimming. The free-floating Contour Plus cutting decks allow mowing of undulating terrain without scalping. The powerful 18.5 kw Kubota® engine and exclusive Series/Parallel traction drive system, gets the mowing job done quickly.

Sidewinder® Cutting Unit System

Sidewinder cutting units shift left and right a total of 61 cm. This allows the tyre tracks to be shifted within the mowing path to reduce wear on the turf.

Time Saving

Unlike any other mower on the market, the Groundsmaster® 3500-D allows you to be more productive. The 68″ (173 cm) width-of-cut allows you to mow generous swaths, yet its compact size and the Sidewinder® system also allow you to make tight maneuvers in trim areas. Locations normally requiring two different machines can be handled by one.

Quality of Cut

The new Contour Plus cutting technology takes quality of cut to a whole new level. Air inlet pockets keep the grass standing tall for the cleanest possible cut, while an acceleration baffle speeds clipping circulation and assures maximum power. In addition, a unique directional vane and modified discharge opening deliver even clipping dispersion. An optional mulching kit is also available.

Scalp-Free Mowing

The ground-following design of each Contour Plus free-floating deck permits mowing the most challenging berms without scalping. Two front rollers and a rear roller allow the deck to smoothly pass over turf.

Attractive Striping

Rear rollers provide an attractive striping effect while you mow, greatly enhancing the finished look of your turf.

Superior Traction

The patented Toro Series/Parallel traction drive system provides steady traction in all conditions, even in wet grass and over undulating terrain. Its full-time, 3-wheel drive system maintains power to two of the three wheels at all times, minimising tyre spinouts and scuffing.
