Toro Introduces the All-New
Groundsmaster® 5900 and 5910 Rotary Mowers
The Toro Company introduces the next generation in the industry’s leading line of 16-foot area rotary mowers – the Toro® Groundsmaster® 5900 and 5910.
All new from the ground up, the Groundsmaster 5900 series delivers industry leading power, precise maneuverability, four-wheel drive capability, increased operator comfort, and reduced noise levels to benefit both the operator and the surrounding environment.
A fleet manager in the Denver area was more than impressed with the power and maneuverability of the Groundsmaster 5900 series. Working in Colorado’s rolling hills and high altitudes can present challenges, but the Groundsmaster 5900 series is able to overcome these obstacles. The fleet manager commented that on several hill sites the Groundsmaster 5900 provided excellent traction and plenty of power to handle the high altitude.
Equipped with a 99-horsepower (hp) Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine, the Groundsmaster 5900 series can mow an acre in less than five minutes, or more than 13 acres an hour.
The Groundsmaster 5900 series gets the job done quickly with optimal operator comfort. The mowers come standard with a four-way adjustable seat plus an air ride suspension. The seat-mounted ControlHub™ offers easy fingertip actuation of controls.
An equipment manager from Seattle enjoyed the comfort that resulted from the electronic controls coupled with the seating position, and said that it helps make his job much easier. For additional comfort, the Groundsmaster 5910 offers a factory integrated climate-controlled cab which includes air conditioning and heating, as well as 360 degrees of visibility.
In addition to providing customers with quality comfort, Toro has ensured that the Groundsmaster 5900 series stays in good health with the onboard InfoCenter™ diagnostics. The InfoCenter display provides critical operating information for machine management, system protection, trouble-shooting and safety. Standard on the Groundsmaster 5900 and 5910 rotary mowers, InfoCenter provides clear and simple information on calibration, diagnostics and systems alerts for the operator and technician.

Atlas Copco Construction Tools Introduces CC 2500 Hydraulic Demolition Attachment
 Atlas Copco Construction Tools LLC introduces the CC 2500 to its line of Combi Cutter hydraulic demolition attachments. The new attachment offers faster jaw replacement, enhanced stability and shorter cycle times.
For optimum application versatility, both universal jaws and steel-cutting jaws are available for the CC 2500. Opening to a width of 34.6 inches, the universal jaws are ideal for heavily reinforced concrete demolition, building demolition, secondary reduction and material separation. The steel-cutting jaws open 16.8 inches wide and are suited for steel structure demolition, secondary reduction and material separation. Both jaws deliver a maximum cutting force of 330 tons.
The CC 2500 features a single pin jaw retention design that improves tool visibility for the operator, decreases the total weight of the unit, and drastically reduces the time required to switch between the different sets of cutting jaws. To further increase the convenience of on-site jaw replacement, the CC 2500 comes with a coupling and positioning system (CAPS) that keeps each set of jaws connected after they have been removed and facilitates refitting through a special guide system.
An advanced speed valve, along with enlarged cross sections of the hydraulic lines that improve oil flow, combine to allow shorter cycle times — opening and closing in under 6 seconds — for increased jobsite production. The configuration of a single jaw passing through a double jaw maximizes stability even under extreme loads. With a maximum operating pressure of 5,075 psi, the CC 2500 is suitable for carriers in the 22 to 35 metric ton weight class.
Engineered for optimum durability and performance, the CC 2500 offers separate hydraulic cylinders for each of the moving jaws. This proven system ensures consistently high shearing force throughout the entire cylinder cycle and allows the jaws to be moved independently, which prevents damaging reaction forces from being transferred to the cutter or its carrier. The unit hydraulically rotates 360 degrees, allowing for more efficient operation, and a built-in rotation protection system reduces wear and tear on the carrier.
The CC 2500 comes with easy-to-replace wear parts — including reversible blades that provide longer service life — and a host of other features designed to increase the durability and performance of the machine.
