The Toro Company has expanded its zero-turn mower lineup with 8000 Series Direct Collect Z mowers, offering a new solution for landscape professionals to maintain the most manicured properties. Toro’s 8000 Series mowers feature a high-capacity hopper with a powerful blower to capture clippings efficiently, so operators can spend less time emptying and more time mowing. These new models also have a rear-discharge design that allows for trimming on both sides of the deck, so operators can control the discharge to keep planting beds and sidewalks clipping-free.

Designed to deliver a pristine after-cut appearance, the 8000 Series Direct Collect Z is equipped with a large-diameter blower that generates more airflow for better vacuuming and clippings collection. Patented adjustable flow control baffles help fill the 9.5-bushel (76 gal.) hopper evenly from back to front for maximum efficiency. In addition, the two-blade cutting system has a higher blade tip speed to cut grass into finer particles for a high-quality cut. For added versatility, the 8000 Series fill-reduction system lets operators choose between 100% bagging, 50% bagging/50% mulching, or 100% mulching.

Responsive, easy-to-use controls make these models virtually effortless to maneuver in tight spots and corners. They can travel at forward ground speeds of up to 7 mph, and a 7.5 gal. fuel tank allows operators to work longer without the hassle of frequent refueling.

The height-of-cut can be adjusted from 1.0″ to 4.0″ in .25″ increments. Models are equipped with either a 20.5 HP Kohler Command Pro or 23 HP Kohler Command Pro EFI engine. The 8000 Series offers a number of optional accessories, including a light kit, powered dump, snow blade or snow blower, mulch kit, dump tubs, suspension seat and more.
