Cheers Paul, I was very lucky on 3 fronts firstly thanks to Arrowfield for letting me film there and secondly thanks to Toro for allowing me to try their new toy and to Scone Outdoors for getting hold of the mower. Glad you enjoyed the vid 🤟
Thanks Brendan, Yeah I love the idea of being able to film at lots of different locations. Arrowfield is like a postcard even this time of year its remarkable.
First Ben and now you. Then I wander out to the shed and see the Hayter looking all forlorn. I think you blokes are trying to tell me something, I better get cracking 😉 Seems a good option for striping high cut turf, without the maintenance cost of cylinder and bed knife grinding. I wondered how defined the striping would be, looks good.
Hi Phil Ohh you have a Hayter? I have a feeling this things roots come from Hayter but not 💯 on that! I think its a really good option as you say for low maintenance stripes. It feels like it will last for years and years. I was very lucky to be able to try it esp out at Arrowfield stud
@@theaussielawn yes, Toro now own Hayter and the Prostripe is based off the Hayter Pro. The domestic Hayter line now have the choice of the same 60v drive system as the Toro Recycler you recently tested. Mine is an ‘87 Harrier 48, single speed drive. Doesn’t have a split roller, has a threaded rod for the height adjuster so is infinitely variable between 13-57mm hoc but will give you RSI turning the adjuster. Should be fun to use, once I get it cleaned up.
@@theaussielawn Thanks Brenton for that. Its harder than what it looks to talk infront of a camera. Making entertaining vids is a whole other story haha. Slowly but surely. Got some super exciting news coming on the channel soon as well.
I would love one of these for the fall to pick up all the leaves. I use my Honda rotary before I reel mow but I hate how it leaves tire marks. If only they were more common in the states then I'd try and pick one up.
Hey mate, Yeah it was a really impressive mower and has great vacuuming ability, Maybe just keep an eye open on all of your usual for sale web pages you never know what might turn up. Thats actually how I found my greens master 1000. Right place at the right time sorta stuff...
Awesome mower and vid. Does the rye blend well with Kikuyu? Thinking of overseeding next year but worried it will make the lawn look patchy esp in summer when the rye starts to struggle
Thanks mate 😎 Yeah kikuyu and rye go pretty well together esp when the kikuyu is left a little longer (the rye and kikuyu blend is pretty common around the horse industries, most race tracks also have the kik and rye blend.
Thanks mate its a magic spot I was so fortunate to be able to film there, Sounds like you have had some bad experiences with Toro, perhaps Ben from Scone Outdoors could help? Might be worth a try?
What’s the go with Toro and Honda only giving 2 year warranty on their mowers ? I’d consider them a more premium mower then Victa etc but they offer 5-7 year warranty. Kinda puts me off buying their stuff for my lawn
Oh really? I didn’t realise victa is now 7yrs, that being said I know what I’d still rather own long term and apart from my little victa scalping mower it’s not a victa well maybe one their “professional alloy deck mowers “ but not the domestic stuff , but that’s only a personal opinion
@@theaussielawn I’m gonna go either a Toro or a Honda, but really only because of the 21-22 inch deck. Aussie companies seem to only do 19 inch decks for domestic mowers. The warranty is also 3 years for the same product in the states 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah they are expensive for the home owners, But not much more than a new cylinder mower so if you had a lawn that striped up well and wanted low maintenance mowing it would be hard to beat.
Gday James the grass type is a warm season grass called Kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum) in this instance it has also been oversown with perennial rye grass for the winter months
Yeah thats right mate I have Austrian connections within my family and you're right nothing beats a good schnitzel, But this horses name was actually Snitzel 😎
@@theaussielawn that’s correct. Hayter have been making roller mowers since just after the war. Toro took over around 2005. This prostripe is a Hayter 56 (56cm cut) with added features for sports clubs.

The ole Rykuyu striped up a treat. 👍
It does a great job hey!
What an beaut property 😮 those stripes looked great! Another great vid mate.
Thank you kind sir 🤟
Beautiful setting to review another innovative product from Toro thanks Brenton well done.

Brilliant demonstration in a beautiful setting. Loved the bronze statues too.
Thanks for that, Its really a great location and the mower was amazing
Last Aussie 😁. Stripes nicely. Great video. Great review. 😎👍👍
bahaha but are you if I reply?
Thoes stripes were super phat, awesome video
Cheers Dan!
@@theaussielawn Not that straight though haha Better than me though
Great vid mate! Loving your content throughput your channel. Gotta send that massive stallion to Ben's house to show him who's boss
Hahaha 😝 🤣 🤪
Love the variety of filming location. Can only do what’s available, but sometimes the same old setting can become a bit stale. Great stuff 👍
Thanks Brendan, Yeah I love the idea of being able to film at lots of different locations. Arrowfield is like a postcard even this time of year its remarkable.
that property is stunning ! nice vid mate
Thanks mate it was a awesome location to do a video hey
That horse did well to stay still during that video.
Dad joke
I promised it a carrot if he didnt move LOL
@@ylilycam bahaha
@@theaussielawn prob got scared of the Toro
@@MOWJOBS hahah hmm you might be right
I'm picking up a rotary mower with heavy rear roller, as my winter return project. If it works half as well as that will be pleased.
If its similar im sure it will give you great results Andy I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend mate

Great editing and shots too

You're making me want one even more lol. I'll def keep an eye out. That's how I got my GM1000 and where it all started!
That place looks mint.
Some of them good area would look even better cut with a reel/cylinder style mower with good stripes
Imagine it mown with something like a reelsmaster 3100d sidewinder 😍
Nice one mate
Thanks mate, It does a great job hey!

great video and what a beautiful place . just a shame toro cant provide the backup service and parts to their commercial and government buyers .
Thanks mate its a magic spot I was so fortunate to be able to film there, Sounds like you have had some bad experiences with Toro, perhaps Ben from Scone Outdoors could help? Might be worth a try?
Reely enjoyed that 😉
hahaha I see what you did there
I wanna see how this lays stripes in my cool season yard.
In a 100% cool season lawn the stripes will be outta this world mate
@@theaussielawn Kinda what I was thinking! Someday....

@@MattHew-dy1wl Dont forget our rights under the ACCC consumer laws mate, Should there be an issue you can always go down that route too
There’s another new one in aus , WEIBANG make a self propelled rear roller mower also . About $1400 . Would be keen to see review in that
Ah true? Ill have to see if Scone Outdoors have access to them.
@@theaussielawn they should do, Weibang Aust is a spin-off from Hansa.
@@philrichmond5919 Thanks for that info too
Love that mower but they seem expensive like most Toro mowers one day maybe 👍
Yeah they are expensive for the home owners, But not much more than a new cylinder mower so if you had a lawn that striped up well and wanted low maintenance mowing it would be hard to beat.
there is hardly any grass to cut? do you really cut the grass when there is so little?
A place such as Arrowfield will mow weekly in the off season even if it’s just to pick up one leaf off the tree 🌲
3 or 4 mowing height in the USA? Only the neighbors who don’t mow.
Haha Honestly we all have it in our heads here that the US guys love it long as a rule of thumb everyone talks up the 3" +
@@theaussielawn Really it’s just like you guys, your grass height determines your height.
Whats the grass at the property?
Gday James the grass type is a warm season grass called Kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum) in this instance it has also been oversown with perennial rye grass for the winter months
@@theaussielawn thanks sir for your reply 👍🏽
👌
Thanks mate hope your well 😎
Its called "Schnitzel" not Snitzel ;) and it is the favorite food of the austrians
Yeah thats right mate I have Austrian connections within my family and you're right nothing beats a good schnitzel, But this horses name was actually Snitzel 😎
Its a hayter mower in red its english
English excellence that mower.
Yes there is I noticed it was built in the UK I believe the Hayter (I think thats the spelling) factory is responsible ?

Thanks Jase, Yeah its a magic spot and stoked that Toro lent me the mower
