Toro's Latest Innovations Target Landscaping Power and Efficiency
At the Equip Expo 2025, held from October 21-24 in Louisville, Kentucky, Toro has raised the bar for landscaping equipment by unveiling two cutting-edge machines—the GrandStand MULTI FORCE EVO and the autonomous PROLINE AMI. These new models promise to empower landscape crews with performance upgrades that enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and ultimately provide a better return on investment (ROI).
The GrandStand MULTI FORCE EVO: Versatility Redefined
The GrandStand MULTI FORCE EVO is designed to tackle any task, regardless of the season. With a robust Kawasaki EVO engine boasting 34.5 horsepower, it’s optimized for handling tough conditions, whether it’s mowing tall grass, clearing leaves, or plowing snow. As Jackson Gray, the product marketing associate at Toro, remarked, "When you think of what it means to ‘do-it-all’, the MULTI FORCE EVO checks every box." This model comes equipped with a service stand attachment that simplifies maintenance, giving crews more time on the job—just what they need to maximize their efficiency and revenue.
Autonomous Power: Introducing the PROLINE AMI
On the other hand, the PROLINE AMI brings autonomy into the landscaping world. Utilizing advanced GNSS+RTK technology, this machine navigates with pinpoint accuracy while monitoring its environment for obstacles through ISO-compliant radar. The PROLINE AMI isn’t just a helper; it’s an extra crew member, designed to relieve landscapers of repetitive tasks.
"The combination of intelligence, power, and convenience in the autonomous PROLINE AMI will be a huge boost for crews who never have enough time in the day,” Gray explained. This mower's 26.5 HP Kohler Command PRO EFI engine complements its autonomous features, allowing it to perform consistently in various challenging conditions while providing operators with comprehensive machine status through a mobile app and an LED display.
Why These Innovations Matter to Landscaping Professionals
Landscaping professionals face immense time pressures and productivity challenges. By introducing these powerful and versatile machines, Toro not only addresses these pain points but also encourages smarter landscaping practices that can lead to higher profitability. The GrandStand MULTI FORCE EVO, with its range of attachments and capabilities, allows crews to go beyond just mowing—effectively turning them into multifunctional operators capable of taking on seasonal tasks all year round.
In addition, the PROLINE AMI complements these efforts by allowing operators to focus on more complex tasks that require human oversight while relying on the mower to handle routine jobs. In a competitive market, these enhancements may provide a necessary edge, showing contractors how to manage high volumes of work divided across different seasons.
What to Expect Moving Forward
As landscaping continues to evolve into a more tech-driven space, innovations like the MULTI FORCE EVO and PROLINE AMI are likely to set the tone for future developments. With labor shortages impacting the industry, the integration of autonomous technology not only helps solve human resource issues but also opens up new avenues for business growth.
