TORO Service Training
Historical Background
The concept of the reel mower goes back to
the 1800’s. It evolved out of a need for
groomed turf areas being maintained on a
regular basis.
Golf course development during the 1920’s
and 30’s brought about design improvements
in engines and mower drive systems.
These improvements continued, allowing for
lighter weight and easier to use equipment.
