- In 1951, Toro markets its first snow thrower, the Snow Boy, an industrial unit that reportedly “takes the place of 50 men” clearing streets by hand.
- In 1962, Toro introduces the Snow Pup, the first lightweight consumer snow-thrower.
- In 1986, Toro introduces a major innovation in snow-thrower performance – the Toro CCR 2000 (Chuted Curved Rotor) technology that re-defines single-stage performance.
