Property maintenance is year-round. And so are the capabilities of Toro’s GrandStand MULTI FORCE.

Nolan Bangert, director of marketing for the Toro Company, recently showcased the innovative GrandStand MULTI FORCE.

This versatile piece of equipment is designed to handle various tasks throughout the year.

Unlike typical mowers, the GrandStand MULTI FORCE starts as a mowing machine but offers much more functionality through its various attachments.

It features a MULTI FORCE dump bed, which allows you to collect and hydraulically dump materials.

Additionally, the machine can be equipped with a Boss snowplow for clearing laneways in winter and other attachments like a power broom and leaf rake for year-round grounds maintenance.

The power behind the GrandStand MULTI FORCE is a 26.5 horsepower Kohler EFI engine.

The equipment also comes with a choice of a 52-inch or 60-inch mowing deck.

Toro stands firmly behind this product with a five-year, 1200-hour warranty, alongside a two-year unlimited warranty, ensuring peace of mind regardless of how extensively the equipment is used.

The GrandStand MULTI FORCE presents a reliable and efficient solution for versatile, high-performance outdoor machinery.

Video: Why Invest in Canada’s Seed Future? | On The Brink: Episode 3

Darcy Unger just invested millions to build a brand-new seed plant on his farm in Stonewall, Manitoba so when it’s time for his sons to take over, they have the tools they need to succeed.

Right now, 95% of the genetics they’ll be growing come from Canadian plant breeders.

That number matters.

When fusarium hit Western Canada in the late 90s, it was Canadian breeders who responded, because they understood Canadian conditions. That ability to react quickly to what’s happening on Canadian farms is exactly what’s at risk when breeding programs lose funding.

For farmers like Darcy, who have made generational investments based on the assumption that better genetics will keep coming, the stakes are direct and personal.

We’re on the brink of decisions that will shape our agricultural future for not only our generation, but also the ones to come.

What direction will we choose?

On The Brink is a year-long video series traveling across Canada to meet the researchers, breeders, farmers, seed companies, and policymakers shaping the future of Canadian plant breeding. Each week, a new story. Each story, a piece of the bigger picture.
