Adjustments

Hand Brake

1.Ensure machine is parked on a level surface with the cutting units lowered. Ensure engine is off.

2.Jack up the front of the machine and support it from under the frame with jack stands. Remove both front wheels.

3.Make sure brake is in the OFF position.

4.Turn by±pass valve on traction pump to the by±pass position as described in the General Information section of Chapter 4 ± Hydraulic System.

5.Loosen jam nut (1) on the clevis (2).

6.Adjust brake arm lever distance.

A.Remove cotter pin (3) securing the clevis (2) to the upper brake arm lever (4). Disconnect clevis from the upper brake arm lever.

B.Rotate clevis one turn at a time (clockwise) to de- crease the distance between the upper brake arm lever and lower brake arm lever (5).

C.Install clevis to upper brake arm lever. Install cot- ter pin to clevis.

D.Repeat steps 6.A. through 6.C. until the brake shoes firmly contact the brake drums (the wheel will not turn by hand).

E.When the wheel will not turn by hand, back the brake shoes off the brake drum. Remove cotter pin securing top of the clevis to the upper brake arm le- ver. Disconnect clevis from the upper brake arm le- ver.

F.Rotate clevis one turn at a time (counterclock- wise) to increase the distance between the upper brake arm lever and lower brake arm lever by 5/8±inch.

7.Install clevis (2) to the upper brake arm lever (4). Install and lock cotter pin (3) into the clevis. Tighten jam nut (1).

8.Repeat procedure for the other wheel.

9.Check brake adjustment and adjust again as neces- sary.

10.Install wheels.

2600D, 2300-D specifications

The Toro 2300-D and 2600-D are industry-leading reel mowers specifically designed for the professional turf care market. Known for their durability, efficiency, and advanced technology, these models provide exceptional cutting performance for golf courses, sports fields, and other high-quality turf applications.

One of the standout features of the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D is their powerful engines. Powered by efficient diesel engines, these mowers deliver robust performance while being fuel-efficient. This capability ensures extended operation periods, allowing grounds crews to maintain pristine conditions across large areas without frequent refuelling stops.

Both models are equipped with Toro’s exclusive DPA (Dual Precision Adjust) cutting system, providing precise cutting heights for optimal turf health. This system allows for adjustments from 1/8 inch to 1 inch, enabling operators to achieve the correct level for various grass types and turf conditions. This level of precision ensures a clean cut and promotes the overall health of the grass.

Another notable characteristic is the ergonomic design, which includes a comfortable operator station to reduce fatigue during extended use. The controls are intuitively located, enabling easy access and operation, and the mower's compact design allows for nimble maneuverability around obstacles, ensuring that every inch of turf can be accurately maintained.

In terms of technology, the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D feature advanced traction control systems that provide excellent grip and stability on slopes and uneven terrain. The lightweight alloy construction of the frame contributes to this stability, giving operators confidence whether they are working on flat surfaces or more challenging landscapes.

Furthermore, these mowers are designed with sustainability in mind. The diesel engines not only offer efficiency but also are compliant with strict emissions standards, making them an environmentally responsible choice for turf maintenance.

The Toro 2300-D and 2600-D also feature a robust maintenance management system that alerts operators of necessary maintenance tasks, promoting longer lifespans for components and enhancing overall performance.

In summary, the Toro 2300-D and 2600-D deliver cutting-edge technologies and features, including powerful engines, versatile cutting systems, ergonomic design, advanced traction control, and sustainability focus. These models represent the pinnacle of reel mower engineering, making them ideal choices for professionals dedicated to maintaining the finest playing surfaces.
