This 2005 Toro Reelmaster 5200 - D is a great lawn - mowing machine. To use it, first make sure the engine is in good condition. Start the Kubota 28hp engine following the standard procedures. Then you can drive it around your lawn to mow. When using, avoid driving over large obstacles as it may damage the machine. As for maintenance, check the engine oil regularly. After each use, clean the mower to remove grass clippings and dirt. Also, inspect the blades periodically. If they are dull, it's time to sharpen or replace them. Remember, this item is used, so you might encounter some normal wear - and - tear issues. It's only available for local pickup at the MSU Surplus Store.
