Stand and deliver: toro unveils two stand-on platforms at Equip Expo.

Stand and deliver: toro unveils two stand-on platforms at Equip Expo. Oct 14, 2026, 12:45 ET Toro's first dedicated stand-on blower plus a redesigned GrandStand(R) HDM+ on display at Equip Expo BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Toro is standing up to the commercial landscaping industry's toughest productivity challenges at Equip Expo in Louisville, Kentucky from October 20-23, with the rollout of two new stand-on platforms designed to help crews do more with fewer operators. The AeroMaster(TM), Toro's first dedicated stand-on blower, empowers landscape contractors to clear debris with more precision and speed than backpack or hand-held blowers. Plus, the popular stand-on GrandStand HDM+ gets a redesign that delivers increased power, agility and serviceability at a lower price tag to help landscape contractors combat rising operating costs without sacrificing efficiency. "Designed directly with feedback from professional contractors, these new stand-on introductions put landscape pros in command of every job," says Jackson Gray, product marketing manager at Toro. "By pairing high-volume power and operator comfort with superior terrain visibility, these new stand-on machines give contractors a versatile way to get more jobs done in their day - with fewer interruptions." AeroMaster(TM) 8100 CFM Stand-On Turbine Blower Designed with Toro's proven turbine technology, the AeroMaster produces the highest CFM in its category, delivering up to 30% more airflow* than competitors in the space. At 8,100 effective CFM, the AeroMaster easily moves wet, stuck-on debris, making large cleanup jobs in the spring, fall or after storms fast and manageable. The clutched turbine design allows the operator to quickly disengage the blower without shutting off the engine, keeping debris from blowing into unwanted areas. For even greater precision, intuitive fingertip controls allow the operator to move the nozzle 180 degrees seamlessly, making it easy to adjust airflow direction on the fly to push debris away from hardscapes, fence lines, and flower beds. The nozzle itself is built for flexible job-site durability, flexing on impact instead of cracking, so it holds up against the daily abuse of curbs, trailer ramps and commercial cleanups. When it is time to move to the next job, the flexible nozzle flips up for easier transport and a smaller footprint on the trailer. Additionally, the AeroMaster features a toggle front axle engineered to pivot smoothly over uneven terrain, minimizing machine vibration and enhancing operator comfort throughout long shifts. GrandStand(R) HDM+ Stand-On Mower Toro's GrandStand Heavy-Duty Mini is getting a massive upgrade and a new - lower - price. The new GrandStand HDM+, available in 32-inch and 36-inch models, delivers a suite of major enhancements, including upgraded maneuverability, easier maintenance, and the highest horsepower in its category with a more accessible price. Where competing compact mowers often compromise power and finish to meet a lower price point, the HDM+ combines a high-performance Kawasaki FX651V engine, Toro's legendary TURBO FORCE(R) cutting deck and strategic, oversized front casters to ensure unmatched cut quality without sacrificing performance. Designed for contractors seeking stand-on efficiency in tight areas, the HDM+ maintains a narrow footprint that navigates gated entries and tight property boundaries with ease. The oversized 13-inch x 6.5-inch front casters pivot smoothly to give operators enhanced maneuverability and a comfortable ride while protecting delicate grass from compaction and turf tear. The HDM+ is engineered for maximum uptime and reliability with tool-less access panels to the back of the mower, allowing technicians fast access to the engine and transmission components. Horizon360(R) Business Management Software Both machines are equipped to integrate seamlessly with Toro's business management solution Horizon360. This software helps landscape contractors drive more profits and increase business efficiency and effectiveness. New features to the Horizon360 platform include: * New Basic Tier: A new entry-level subscription option offers a lower-cost solution for contractors who only require essential management tools, such as streamlined invoicing and payment collection. * Simplified Tracking Interface: The redesigned tracking page features a simplified interface that enables contractors to monitor their entire equipment fleet at a single glance. * Enhanced Reliability: Updated tracking device firmware keeps equipment location and run-time data flowing continuously across all connected equipment. * Upgraded Equipment Management: Refocused design efforts make setting up equipment, navigating fleet lists, and tracking preventive maintenance faster and more intuitive.

Toro showcases new residential outdoor power equipment at Equip Expo.

Toro showcases new residential outdoor power equipment at Equip Expo. Powerful lineup includes new limited edition 'Longhorn' TITAN(R) MAX MyRIDE(R). Toro is showcasing small and mighty residential solutions at Equip Expo in Louisville, Kentucky October 20-23. Each new product is engineered to provide homeowners with compact, powerful and efficient performance to maintain their outdoor spaces - no matter the season. "Smaller equipment no longer means less powerful with this lineup. Whether it's a mower that takes care of your yard while you kick up your feet, or providing full-sized power in a compact frame that doesn't take up all of your garage space, Toro is proving that smaller actually is better," says Lisa Bloomer, senior director of marketing for Toro's Residential and Landscape Contractor Division. "To celebrate the joy of lawncare, we're also launching a special, limited edition zero turn mower this spring that encapsulates everything it means to own a Toro: power, precision and pride." New Robotic Mower The introduction of the Toro HAVEN(R) AM75 Autonomous Mower offers homeowners a new opportunity to take care of their lawn without lifting a finger. This easy-to-use autonomous solution cuts and maintains properties up to three-quarters of an acre. It takes less time to set up than a typical mow, and best of all, it's your final shift on yard duty. Its LiDAR-guided navigation and 360-degree environmental awareness allow it to map lawns, detect obstacles in real-time, and navigate safely around them. Whether using auto-mapping for defined borders or the mobile app for custom boundaries and exclusion zones, homeowners can enjoy a pristine, always-ready lawn without manual labor. Backed by Toro's trusted heritage, the HAVEN AM75 is Toro's answer to busy lives - set it up once and reclaim your weekends permanently. New 24-inch Power Max(R) HD Two-Stage Snow Blower The new 24-inch Power Max HD is built to clear faster and never quit, with full heavy-duty power in a compact footprint. At its core is a commercial-grade steel gearbox that's 2X stronger than shear pin designs, giving you the toughest powertrain in its class.[§] Toro's exclusive anti-clog intake keeps heavy, wet snow moving through the chute, stopping clogs before they start. Enhancements include an all-metal Quick Stick(R) chute control for instant adjustments, maintenance-free Never-Flat airless tires, and an ultra-wide LED light bar paired with a new footwell light for 360-degree visibility. Compact build, full-power and ready to take on winter's toughest snowfall. Compact 50-inch TimeCutter(R) Zero Turn Mower Speaking of compact, the redesigned 50-inch TimeCutter(R) brings serious cutting power to properties up to two acres with a new, smaller footprint engineered to take up 20% less storage space than comparable TimeCutter MAX models*. Combining a narrow chassis with powerful twin-cylinder performance and a durable fabricated deck, this mower maximizes cutting width without taking up extra space in the garage. The refreshed model incorporates commercial-grade upgrades including pro-inspired styling with a bold, sculpted front-end design, aggressive tire treads for enhanced traction and stability, and a high-back seat with custom bolstering for superior operator support. Additionally, a new low-step entry design ensures effortless access. Big performance doesn't have to come with a big footprint. Limited Edition TITAN(R) MAX MyRIDE(R) Zero Turn Mower Some machines are a rare breed. The new TITAN MAX MyRIDE Longhorn edition is one of them. Built on Toro's pro-grade TITAN MAX platform, featuring a powerful 25 hp commercial engine and MyRIDE suspension system, the Longhorn Edition pairs proven performance with a distinctive, blacked-out design: a custom seat, alloy rims and unique Longhorn bull badging. Just 1,000 will be produced, each finished with a serialized, limited edition plate. Look out for more details on when these special zero turn mowers will be available at authorized Toro retailers. Big, small, or built to stand out, discover how Toro's mightiest lineup yet can transform your yard.

Toro unveils HAVEN AM75 robot mower and compact 50-inch TimeCutter for 2027

Toro unveiled two residential mowers for 2027: the HAVEN AM75 autonomous mower and a refreshed TimeCutter zero turn lineup. Both go on sale in 2027 through authorised Toro dealers, toro.com, and major retail partners. The HAVEN AM75 suits properties up to three-quarters of an acre. It uses LiDAR navigation and camera obstacle detection, builds its own map of the lawn, and mows only when rain sensors show the grass is dry. The TimeCutter range has five models, from 34 to 50 inches. The new compact 50-inch model saves up to 20% on storage space compared with the 50-inch TimeCutter MAX, and suits properties up to two acres. "Lawn care isn't one-size-fits-all," said Jens Hoffman, senior marketing manager at Toro.
