WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN YOU MOVE UP TO A RIDING MOWER!
Toro products styled by Charles Butler Associates HILL-CLIMBING POWER. The Pony® Rider can move easily up a 30° or better hill without a moment's hesitation. One reason is the big 4-cycle, 4.5 H.P. engine. It'll do 2.14 M.P.H. in low gear, 3.65 in high. Another reason is that it's one complete, carefully integrated unit, built for maximum efficiency - not a loose combination of cutting unit and tractor. GRASS-LEAF BAG. This is a must for labor-free lawn care today. The "Pony" Rider features a 5 bushel bag that gets leaves, clippings, debris, crabgrass seeds. Ends raking forever. A huge 40 bushel leaf cart is available at small cost. CLEAN, EVEN CUT. No housing design can equal Toro's exclusive patented Wind Tunnel Housing. It sucks grass up, stands it at attention, cuts it evenly. And it is practically clog-proof. Result? The best looking lawn in the neighborhood. SMOOTH, SAFE RIDE. The "Pony's" floating front end rides over irregular ground without dipping. No bulky engine to straddle. Cutter stops when you get off seat. The "Pony" meets American Standards Association safety requirements. SIMPLE OPERATION. You can learn to operate the "Pony" Rider in minutes. Control is easy with two speeds forward, one in reverse. And you can change the height of cut in seconds, while moving, 1 1/2 to 3 1/2". One simple lever does it. TROUBLE-FREE SERVICE. All parts of the "Pony" Rider are heavy and sturdy; all mechanism simple. That's why it lasts far longer than other riding mowers. The "Pony" can go for years without a single annoying breakdown. But should you ever need service, it's comforting to know you can get expert Toro® service in minutes anywhere in the U.S. And, of course, Toro has a full year warranty.
