Pros of the Toro Groundsmaster 4700-D:
- Wide cutting width (150 inches / 3.8 m), allowing faster mowing of large areas.
- Suitable for large-scale use such as golf courses, municipal, or industrial properties (50+ acres).
- Adjustable mow speed settings (50%, 75%, 100%) for efficiency.
- Auto Idle feature helps reduce fuel use when not actively mowing.

Cons of the Toro Groundsmaster 4700-D:
- Large size and weight make it unsuitable for small or residential properties (under 7 acres).
- May be difficult to maneuver in tight or uneven spaces.
- Likely high cost and maintenance needs due to its commercial-grade build.
