Toro unveils new products and major updates at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show

At the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in Orlando last week, Toro introduced a host of new solutions for the golf course management industry, including a new Workman LTX Utility Vehicle, updates to the Intelli360 digital toolbox and the introduction of the all-electric GreensPro e1700 greens roller.

Workman LTX Utility Vehicle introduced

Toro is excited to introduce the all-new Workman LTX Utility Vehicle, the next generation of the light-duty Workman Series. The new model will replace the long standing GTX Series.

“By expanding our lithium-ion lineup and completely reimagining the dashboard, we’ve created a machine that combines superior storage, versatile power options and operator comfort to meet the needs of our customers,” said Marissa Garin, product marketing manager at Toro. “The Workman LTX is a direct reflection of the professionals who use our equipment every day. We didn’t just set out to build a new utility vehicle, the feedback we received from customers was intentionally incorporated to solve real-world challenges.”

The Workman LTX is available in two powertrain options. The electric model is powered by Toro’s HyperCell lithium-ion battery technology and comes standard with two batteries. A third battery can be added for operations requiring extended runtime. The gasoline model is equipped with a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard 400 EFI engine with integrated oil level sensors and an automatic engine shut-off feature to ensure long-term reliability. 

Reimagined from the ground up, the Workman LTX features a sleek new hood, bumper, grille and headlights design. An all-new dashboard configuration provides two times more storage compared to the previous GTX model, while the change from a hand parking brake on the dash to a foot-operated or an electric parking brake option creates more space and overall intuitive design. An LCD display provides important information and dual USB A and C ports ensure device compatibility and constant connectivity. The oversized cup holders and bolstered bench seat provide the space and support needed for the most demanding shifts.

The Workman LTX Series will be available in six models with two-seat and four-seat options.

Intelli360 receives streamlined parts ordering functionality

Toro unveiled a significant expansion of the Intelli360 digital toolbox with the addition of streamlined parts ordering functionality. Officially available early this month, the expansion further positions Intelli360 as a comprehensive central hub for superintendents and equipment managers to oversee their entire equipment operation from a single source.  

“Our goal with Intelli360 is to provide a true digital toolbox that helps simplify the complexity of managing a modern fleet,” said Janel Hinde, digital product marketing manager at Toro. “By integrating parts ordering and introducing advanced features like public and private shopping lists, we’ve made the process much more intuitive. It’s about ensuring that parts ordering is as efficient and effortless as possible.”

By integrating parts ordering directly alongside equipment monitoring and maintenance schedules, Intelli360 creates a truly optimized fleet management experience. From their desktops, superintendents can seamlessly manage equipment fleets no matter where they are located on the facility property through the use of telematics devices installed on equipment. Users can view maintenance needed, create work orders for their staff and now order parts in one central hub. 

Parts ordering within Intelli360 uses a new single-cart model that allows users to seamlessly add genuine Toro parts and non-OEM parts to a single order. 

An integrated shopping list feature also allows for rapid re-ordering of common items like filters and blades. Staff can also build “shopping lists” of needed components for supervisor review and approval before an order is finalized. Technicians can identify a maintenance need, add repair parts to a shopping list, and managers can complete the parts order in just a few clicks.

As part of the Intelli360 roadmap, Toro plans to introduce integrated parts inventory management, which will allow for automated alerts when stock drops below user-defined thresholds. Additionally, future updates include fault code notifications that will provide initial steps needed to diagnose and address the fault.

Toro unveils the electric GreensPro e1700 greens roller

This heavy-duty, all-electric greens roller is engineered to deliver exceptionally smooth, consistent golf greens while boosting operator efficiency and productivity — powered by Toro’s advanced HyperCell lithium-ion battery technology. The standard two-battery configuration is capable of providing enough runtime to easily roll more than 18 holes. 

The GreensPro e1700 is designed for maximum coverage and consistency. A 69-inch (175 cm) rolling width allows teams to cover more surface area in a single pass. Operator comfort and control are enhanced through new intuitive joystick controls, which allow users of any experience level to easily manage speed and direction with point-and-go steering. These controls also include an advanced pass alignment function that ensures uniform, repeatable results with the push of a button.

A three-roller configuration ensures the GreensPro e1700 provides optimal surface coverage and consistent ground contact across the entire rolling width. Each drum is driven by an independent electric motor that allows for automatic speed adjustments during turns and stops. This feature actively prevents green scuffing and scrubbing that causes visible turf damage. 

The SmartHitch Integrated Trailer replaces traditional separate trailers or pull-over drawbars, improving the speed and ease of transport. The simple drive-up system allows the GreensPro e1700 to efficiently connect to a transport vehicle without the operator exiting the machine. This system eliminates downtime spent positioning lift bars and maneuvering separate trailers, reducing physical strain on operators and improving overall safety.

“When it comes to productivity, superintendents are going to see a significant increase in what they can achieve with the GreensPro e1700,” said Nate Fisher, product marketing manager at Toro. “From the wider rolling width to the SmartHitch transport, it’s designed for maximum efficiency and helping teams cover more ground faster. The virtually silent operation is also a game changer for those essential early morning rolling shifts.” 

The GreensPro e1700 will be available for purchase in 2026.
