Cricket World Cup venues across Australia are using Toro's Greensmaster Flex walk mowers for the preparations of cricket pitches, Reelmaster mowers to maintain the outfields, and Workman MDX or HDX utility vehicles to transport equipment and materials around their facilities. Several stadiums also use ProCore aerators, Multi Pro sprayers and Toro irrigation systems in their turf care routine.
