Toro Workman Maximum Load bearing (or equivalent proposed unit) needs to be a minimum of 2785 pounds to accommodate the amount of sand and topsoil needed to complete interment and reduce the amount of times entering the gravesite section, thus reducing wear tear of turf and possible headstone marker damage.

Cargo bed square footage must not be smaller than 21 square feet for stability to haul larger sheets of plywood needed for interments.

Proposed model has rugged heavy duty I beam axle that s stronger then tubular design and provides stability and strength along with dual independent leaf spring and shock absorbers.

With the specified 4-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, there is significantly better control and stopping power. Based on grounds experience hydraulic disc brakes safer. Cemetery operations entail commuting and navigating tight work areas/spaces such as between headstones. Inability to have such control could result in the damage of Government property ranging from sod, to markers and headstones.

Submitted documentation suggests or demonstrates that the standard warranty is two full years for parts and labor.

Electronic Fuel-injection (EFI) engine with a 15 to 20% increase in fuel economy, instant cold weather start to aide in northern winter conditions.
