Toro has introduced two new ranges of mid- and heavy duty utility vehicles to its portfolio.

With two-wheel and four-wheel drive diesel options, the new Workman HDX-D has a towing capacity of up to 1,588kg (3,500lb) and replaces its predecessors - the Workman 3300 and 4300.

Other key features include the i-beam shaped DeDion rear axle - which isolates the engine, transmission and mainframe from all load forces, eliminating potential overstress of those components.

The other new range from Toro is the Workman MD Series of mid-duty vehicles. Boasting a coil-over shock absorber suspension concept, the MD Series is said to offer increased operator comfort and safety. The vehicle's In-Frame twister joint allows each axle to react independently to terrain, meaning all the wheels maintain constant contact with the ground, enabling better traction and stability and less potential turf damage.
