14 May/June 2017 Landscape and Irrigation www.landscapeirrigation.com jobsite, the Titan HD features the exclusive ability to safely and easily attach tools and accessories to the mower with innovative tool- mounting brackets. This feature allows operators to utilize the mower to transport tools and equipment for larger jobs, including trimmers, 5-gallon buckets and other yard tools. Titan HD is built on a rugged, reliable frame, and is highlighted by Toro's highly acclaimed Turbo Force cutting decks that provide excellent quality of cut and durability. The Titan HD lineup is powered by commercial-grade engines from Toro, Kohler, and Kawasaki. The Titan HD reaches top ground speeds of up to 10 mph with deck widths up to 60 inches, helping maximize productivity. Turfco TurnAer XT8 The Turfco TurnAer XT8 stand-on aerator is the solution for busy turf care professionals. It is nimble and versatile with speeds up to 7 mph, a 30-inch aerating width that can fit through a 48-inch gate, raised ground clearance to get over most curbs, and zero-turn agility. Patent-pending Auto-Depth Control allows operators to set a tine depth that is consistent across the property regardless of turf conditions. The rugged reliability of the XT8 minimizes downtime by utilizing covered drive chains outside the aeration area and using sealed, self-aligning bearings near the aeration area. Easily accessed chain tensioners and tines keep maintenance simple. Equipped with a 22-horsepower engine with a cyclonic air cleaner, the XT8 has the power to take on any terrain. Its standing platform suspension reduces vibration and shock for reduced operator fatigue and increased comfort. Wright Sport I Wright Manufacturing's new 36-inch Sport Intensity (Sport I) mower is based on the popular Stander I. The compact mower combines all the features that make the Stander the industry's leading stand-on mower with the choice of stand-on or sit down operation. The Sport I's foldaway seat is positioned so the operator can step off for quick exits or to remove debris, and the mower stops immediately. An operator presence switch on the foot platform stops the blade and engine, and the control levers return to the neutral position when the operator lets go. All three engines — 18.5, 19 and 22 hp. — deliver a top speed of 8.2 mph, and the Sport I is covered by Wright's two-year limited warranty. Wright's floating Aero-Core deck on the Sport I tilts side-to-side and front-to-back, allowing the mower deck to better follow the terrain contours. It also improves the weight distribution for better handling on hills. The deck height can be adjusted "on the fly" in quarter- inch increments, and anti-scalp rollers automatically adjust the deck height to changes in terrain. Elastopolymer bumpers provide a dampened feel similar to a car. The bumpers are progressive to accommodate the weight of various operators. Recessed caster wheels reduce the turning radius. This feature, combined with the compact footprint and outstanding control and handling, allows operators to trim as they mow. The compact size also means more mowers will fit on a trailer.
