Toro Equipment

 
Toro had these 2 old pieces at the trade show this week.  Granted, golfers didn't have near the expectations back then that they do today, but the technology certainly wasn't there either.  Pre 1980 or so, greens were mowed at 1/4", not 1/8".  Greens rolled 6ft on the stimpmeter, not 11 or 12 feet!  In fact, did you know the USGA once considered greens rolling 6'or more, fast!  At HCC, we strive for 11' each day and 6' wouldn't be acceptable.  This business has come a long way in a short period time.
