Install Reel

1.Inspect bearings and replace if worn or damaged.

2.Make sure bearing seating surfaces and threads on reel shaft ends are clean. Apply anti±seize lubricant to both bearing seating surfaces.

3.Align reel inside the cutting unit with the bearing housing holes. The reel must be positioned so that the grooved end of the shaft (left±hand threads) is on the left side of the cutting unit (Fig. 26).

4.Clean inside of the bearing housing before instal- ling.

5.Install bearing into bearing housing as follows:

A.Load bearing through loading grooves.

B.Position bearing so its outer grease holes will be 90_ to the loading grooves.

C.Rotate bearing inside of the housing so the ex- tended part of the inner race is facing the inside of the housing.

6.Side the bearings and bearing housings onto the reel shaft.

7.On earlier production models, make sure bearing housings are installed with the grease fittings pointing to the front of the cutting unit.

8.Secure bearing housings and bearings on the reel shaft ends and cutting unit with the capscrews. Alternate evenly between capscrews when when tightening.

9.Degrease threaded end of male couplings and reel shaft. Make sure grease is completely removed

A.Apply removable Loctite 242 or equivalent to the threads.

B.Do not get Loctite on the bearing seal.

10.Screw male coupling (RH) from the reel. This cou- pling is right hand threaded.

11.Screw male coupling (LH) from the reel. This cou- pling is left hand threaded.

12.Torque both couplings from 55 to 65 ft±lb

(7.6 to 9.0 kg±m).

13.Install front roller to cutting unit (see Roller Removal and Installation).

14.Install bedbar assembly to cutting unit (see Bedbar Removal and Installation).

15.Complete cutting unit set±up and adjustment se- quence (see Adjustments section).

16.Grease both bearings (see Greasing Bearings, Bushings, and Pivot Points ).

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.
