The Toro Greensmaster 300 is a triplex greens mower used for mowing greens, tees, collars, approaches, fairways and other fine turf areas like ballfield infields or grass tennis courts. The Toro Greensmaster 300 is a further development of the Toro Greensmaster 3. First introduced in 1985, it was produced until 1987. Sharing most of the same specifications as the Greensmaster 3, it features a larger engine and a foot pedal for speed control.
Characteristics[]
The Greensmaster 300 is a 3-wheeled triplex mower, powered by an air cooled Kohler engine delivering 14 horsepower at 3600 RPM. The traction drive system consists of stacked gear pumps delivering flow through an open center valve bank to two orbital gear motors that drive the front wheels. The hydraulic valve consists of five spool sections, 3 controlling lowering, lift and mowing functions of the cutting units. Spools 4 and 5 control the traction functions via direct linkage from a hand shift lever and foot control pedal, with two forward speeds and one reverse: 1, used for mowing; 2 used for transport; and reverse. Six inch drum mechanical drum brakes provide braking, with a foot operated parking brake.
Mowing, lift and lower functions are controlled by two foot pedals: mow and lift. The mow pedal initiates lowering the cutting units, with a variable orifice delaying lowing of the rear cutting unit allowing for all three cutting units to drop in line while the unit is moving. Once all the cutting unit lift cylinders are fully extended, a detent in the valve bank holds the first three valve sections open and full flow goes to the reel motors, spinning the reels at approximately 1975 RPM. The cutting units are raised by operating the lift pedal, which first shuts off the flow to the reel motors and then allows flow to raise the cutting units to the raised position.
The hydraulic system has a 4.5 gallon tank, located directly behind the operator's seat, in front of the 4.8 gallon fuel tank, and has a 25 micron cartridge oil filter. A control panel located to the right of the operator's seat has the engine speed control and choke levers, a ammeter for the 12v electrical system and an hour meter.
Cutting units[]
The fully floating cutting units are positioned in front of each of the tires, two in front, one in the rear. A carrier frame, supported by a solid roller, is connected to the cutting units by direct linkage that pulls the cutting units while carrying a grass collection basket. Individual lift cylinders raise and lower the cutting units by a lift arm that floats in a cutting unit carrier hoop.
Cutting units feature fixed 5" diameter, 21" wide reels, with 4 bolt bedknife adjusters. Cutting units have macro adjust rear rollers with infinitely adjustable front rollers. All cutting units have adjustable front throw shields with adjustable cut-off bars.
