2026 Toro 5000 Series Rear Discharge 60 in. (152 cm) 26.5 hp EFI 747cc

Overview

Z Master Professional 5000 Series mowers offer rear discharge decks for increased productivity in taller grass. These EFI models also use up to 25% less fuel than equivalent non-EFI mowers. The rear discharge design allows operators to trim on either side of the deck — no need to change direction to avoid discharging debris on roadways, sidewalks or flowerbeds. Clippings are dropped within the path of the mower, saving time and cleanup.

• Our TURBO FORCE deck features heat-treated steel blades and our patented adjustable discharge chute, nothing cuts as fast or as well
• Unitized pump and wheel motor uses proven commercial hydraulic components while eliminating hoses and other potential leak points
• Deluxe suspension seat features thick cushions, large bolsters, fully adjustable to match operator comfort
• Tweel Turf Tires - No air pressure to maintain, no flat tires, no compromises. Extra long wear life two to three times that of a pneumatic tire at equal tread depth.
• Horizon360® Business Management Software. Work More Efficiently. Run More Profitably.

Exclusive TURBO FORCE Deck

High-capacity TURBO FORCE decks deliver unsurpassed strength, a superior cut, and increased productivity in extreme mowing conditions. Equipped with a patented adjustable baffle, TURBO FORCE decks can be fine-tuned in order to conquer changing turf conditions.

7-Gauge, High-Strength Steel

The TURBO FORCE deck is constructed of 7-gauge, high-strength steel which is 33% thicker and 32% higher in yield strength than ordinary 10-gauge commercial steel used in 7/10 decks. The combined effect is 75% stronger, so it easily handles the most demanding conditions and resists damage from impacts and abrasion.

A Flat Crisp Cut with Precision Blades

(.250) thick precision blades resist flexing to provide a flat, crisp cut. High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel survives impacts and provides resistance to the rapid wear commonly associated with abrasive conditions. Options include Recycler® and Atomic® mulching blades, medium sail Bahai blades, and low sail sand blades.

Folding Rollover Protection System ROPS

A Rollover Protection System (ROPS), complete with seat belt, comes standard for operator protection in the case of accidental rollovers and tipovers. In situations where sufficient vertical clearance is not available, such as loading on an enclosed trailer, the ROPS can be temporarily unlocked and folded down.

Patented Adjustable Baffle

Allows operator to achieve maximum cutting performance by fine-tuning deck to conquer changing conditions, unique job sites or different times of the season. In extreme conditions, the baffle can be opened in order to conserve power and achieve faster mowing speeds. In less demanding conditions, the baffle can be closed to yield micro-sized particles and maximize discharge velocity.

Smooth, Powerful Response

The new unitized pump and wheel motor use proven commercial hydraulic components while eliminating hoses and other potential leak points. You'll get a smoother, faster response while enjoying an even more reliable machine.

Smarter design in a bull-nose bumper

7-gauge bull-nose bumper not only protects against frontal impacts, but also contains an integral underskirt to minimize blowout of debris and dust. The bottom, leading edge of the deck is raised 1/4" (6 mm), allowing grass to stand more upright when entering the cutting chamber, ensuring a level cut. Leaf "plowing" during spring and fall clean-up also is significantly reduced.

Operator Information Center

The instrument panel includes a digital hour meter, fuel gauge, and voltage meter, as well as diagnostic indicators for the safety interlock system.

Deluxe Suspension Seat

Deluxe suspension seat features thick cushions, large bolsters and 3-D isolator mounts that absorb bumps and vibrations to reduce operator fatigue.

Michelin® X® Tweel® Turf Tires

No air pressure to maintain, no flat tires, no compromises. Get extra long wear life two to three times that of a pneumatic tire at equal tread depth.
