The Parks and Recreation Department has a Large GM5910 Toro Groundmaster
mower #14-542, this is the main mower for park maintenance. The mower has
2,900 hours on the engine meter and has been having frequent breakdowns and
extensive repairs related to the cooling system and electrical system, these repairs
are costly and the downtime is extensive with several dealer repairs required
transporting to Turf Products shop in Enfield Connecticut.
The new Toro GM5910 mower will be equipped like for like as the current
mower and will carry a 2 year warranty and will come with extra blades, window
tinting, warning beacon and foam filled caster tires.
The old mower will be kept as a backup until it’s not feasible to repair. It is the
recommendation of the Superintendent and the Fleet Manager to purchase this
mower.
