Bedknife Replacement and Grinding (Fig. 22 and Fig. 23)

1.Remove bedbar from cutting unit (see Bedbar Re- moval and Installation).

2.Remove bedknife screws and remove bedknife.

3.Remove all rust, scale and corrosion from bedbar surface before installing new bedknife.

4.Install new bedknife:

A.Make sure bedbar threads are clean.

B.Use new screws. Apply anti±seize lubricant to screw threads before installing.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use an impact wrench .

C. Tighten screws to a torque of 250 to 300 in±lb (288 to 345 kg±cm) working from the center toward each end of the bedbar (Fig. 22).

5.Since there can be variations in the mounting sur- face of the bedbar, a new bedknife will not be perfectly flat after it is installed. Because of this, it is necessary to backlap or grind a new bedknife after installing it to the bedbar. Follow the existing angle that was ground into the bedknife and grind only enough to make sure the top surface is true.

Regrinding Bedknife

Remove bedbar / bedknife assembly from cutting unit before attempting to regrind a used bedknife (see Bed- bar Removal and Installation).

Note: When grinding, be careful to not overheat the bedknife. Remove small amounts of material with each pass of the grinder.

Note: If the height of cut is 1/2±inch or lower on the cutting unit, the front angle can be increased to 30_￿ for improved performance.

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.
