Toro's Horizon Technology, currently offered on its Z Master Professional 6000 EFI zero-turn mowers, is an onboard intelligence platform that allows communication between key systems on the mower. This allows operators to choose from three operating modes, using a simple three-position rocker switch, to maximize fuel efficiency in different mowing conditions.
“Max” mode delivers maximum power for the most demanding conditions. “Economy” mode provides excellent performance in normal conditions, while reducing fuel consumption, emissions, noise and machine wear. “Low” mode helps reduce deck packing and discharge clumping when cutting in wet conditions.
The Horizon platform also monitors engine oil temperature and oil pressure. If the mower is not performing properly, indicator lights will alert the operator that there are critical system issues and the mower will go into “safe mode” to reduce the risk of damaging the machine.
The Z Master Professional 6000 EFI mowers combine Kohler 34-hp Command Pro EFI engines with an electronic governor, which helps maintain consistent blade tip speed and reduces governor droop. Electronic fuel injection also helps increase fuel efficiency compared to carbureted models.
Additionally, the Z Master Professional 6000 EFI mowers come standard with the exclusive Turbo Force cutting deck in 60- and 72-inch widths. Featuring durable 7-gauge steel, robust cast iron spindle housings and high-strength steel blades, these machines can achieve outstanding results at higher ground speeds, Toro assures.
