Traction Forward

The traction pump is driven by the engine through the pulley, pump drive belt, and electric clutch. The traction circuit of the hydraulic system acts essentially as a closed loop. Taking its suction directly from the return side of the wheel motors of the traction circuit, the trac- tion pump supplies oil flow to the wheel motors through the supply side of the traction circuit.

With the engine running, clutch engaged, and traction pedal in the neutral position, the traction pump supplies no flow to the wheel motors. When the traction pedal is pressed to the forward position, the linkage from the pedal positions the swash plate in the traction motor so oil flows out the top port of the pump. Oil flow out of the top port goes to the wheel motors and turns them in the forward direction. The 2WD/3WD selector valve allows flow to the rear wheel in the 3WD position and by± passes the rear wheel in the 2WD position.

Oil flowing out of the wheel motors returns to the bottom port of the traction pump and is continuously pumped out the top port. However, oil flow out of the rear wheel motor must pass through the check valve portion of the PC flow controller before returning to the traction pump.

A small amount of hydraulic oil leaves the traction circuit through the bi±directional shuttle valve in the front left wheel motor. This oil is cooled as it flows through the cooler and returned to the reservoir.

Filtered hydraulic oil is supplied to the traction circuit from the charge pump though the lift control valve and back through the charge circuit check valves. This fil- tered oil replaces oil losses from flow through the shuttle valve and small amounts of leakage. The charge pump and shuttle valve circuits allow for indirect cooling and filtering of the traction circuit.

In the forward direction, the PC flow controller has a spe- cial function. When a unit is moving downhill, the opera- tor will return the traction pedal to the neutral position. In this situation, the front wheel motors act as hydraulic pumps and reverse the oil flow through the traction cir- cuit. The PC flow controller will restrict flow to the rear motor sufficiently, so the reverse flow is by±passed through the 2WD/3WD selector (check) valve around the rear wheel motor. This action will prevent a loss of steering control should the rear motor turn in the reverse direction. As a result, there is no 3WD in reverse

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.
