The Recycler with SmartStow can be stored upright without concerns over leaking gas or oil, and provides easier access to clean under the deck and service the blade. The mower is the only model in Toro's Personal Pace product line with self-propelled rear high wheels, which provide additional maneuverability and control on uneven terrain. As an added benefit, the 11-inch rear wheels combine with a uniquely designed floor stand to make it easier to store the machine in the upright position. Other features include the Personal Pace self- propel system, which automatically senses and adapts to the operator's walking speed. The handle height adjusts to accommodate a wider range of users for greater comfort. The mower features a 22-inch deck with Recycler mowing technology and side-discharge capabilities. Recycler mowers cut and recut the grass into fine mulch, and then force the clippings deep into the turf to promote a lush, healthy lawn. The Toro Co. Wright Velke hydro-powered walk-behind mowers Wright Manufacturing has introduced 2 Velke hydro-powered walk-behind mowers. The HC series is available with a 32-, 36- or 48-inch cutting deck. The larger LC series offers the choice of a 52- or 61-inch deck. All sizes can be specified with either a fixed or floating deck. The large yet light tires of these mowers are gentle to turf. The HC series is ideal for mowing medium- size properties and tight spaces. While the larger LC models have larger tires, reinforced frames and a wider stance, they still offer low impact on commercial properties. Each model is ideally balanced to mow on slopes and climb curbs. The intuitive controls are easy to squeeze, and they isolate vibration. The flat-free caster tires increase maneuverability, even in tight spaces. An integrated Velke sulky latch is provided on all models. The operator has a choice of walking or riding when a Velke sulky is attached, and the latch secures the sulky in a folded position when the operator chooses to walk. Wright Manufacturing, Inc.
