GIE+EXPO Prize Winner Takes Delivery of New Toro® Zero-Turn Mower

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Kevin Kirby of Top Cut Lawn and Landscaping LLC in Milledgeville, Georgia, the winner of Toro’s GIE+Expo 2015 mower giveaway, has taken delivery of his new Z Master® zero-turn riding mower just in time for spring.

Kirby’s new Z Master Professional 6000 Series Z (model 74992) features a 25.5 HP Kawasaki® FX 852cc engine, a 60” TURBO FORCE® cutting deck, and the all-new, innovative MyRIDE suspension system.

Built for maximum comfort, the MyRIDE suspension system features a fully suspended operator platform that delivers 3.6” of travel and isolates the operator from the rest of the machine. This design reduces impacts, bumps and vibrations for a more comfortable ride. The system also features adjustable rear shocks, which allow each operator to choose his or her own personalized comfort setting -- from soft to firm. Click here to see the mower in action.

“We just got the mower out there this week, and we couldn’t be happier with it,” explains Kirby. “Apart from being fast and productive, the MyRIDE suspension system really eliminates any bumps or shocks. I’ve never mowed on anything so comfortable.”

The contest was limited to eligible landscape contractors, and Kirby’s name was randomly selected from hundreds of entries.

“GIE+EXPO is always a fantastic stage to highlight Toro’s products and newest innovations, and it’s exciting to see so much interest around this new flagship product,” comments Chris Hannan, senior marketing manager for Toro’s Residential and Landscape Contractor Businesses. “We’re thankful to all who participated in the drawing, and we’re pleased to get this Z Master with MyRIDE suspension system into the hands of a contractor who can really benefit from it.”

Kirby picked up his new zero-turn mower from his local Toro dealer, Ace of Gray, located in a 7-acre facility at 243 West Clinton Street in Gray, Georgia. Ace of Gray has been proudly serving the Middle Georgia area since 1992.
