                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




The Plan Administrator
The Toro Company Matching Stock Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Toro Company Matching Stock Plan (the Plan) as of July 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of July 31,
1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for
each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                      THE TORO COMPANY MATCHING STOCK PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             July 31, 1995 and 1994


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF STATEMENT PRESENTATION

       The accompanying financial statements of the Toro Company Matching Stock
          Plan (the Plan) are presented in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principles.

       Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
          current year presentation.

     INVESTMENTS

       Currently, The Toro Company (the Company) maintains one fund within the
          master trust agreement for seven profit sharing and retirement plans
          which are sponsored by the Company. Prior to May 1, 1995, the Company
          maintained three separate funds within the master trust agreement for
          the seven plans. The seven plans include the Toro Company Profit
          Sharing Plan and Trust Agreement for Office Employees, the Toro
          Company Profit Sharing Plan and Trust Agreement for Minneapolis
          Factory Employees, the Toro Company Profit Sharing Plan and Trust
          Agreement for Windom Factory Employees, the Toro Company Profit
          Sharing Plan and Trust Agreement for Hourly Employees, the Toro
          Company Profit Sharing Plan and Trust Agreement for Plymouth Union
          Employees, the Toro Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust
          Agreement, and the Toro Company Matching Stock Plan.

       On May 1, 1995, investments in the master trust and the Toro Company
          Common Stock were transferred from First Trust National
          Association to Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company. The purpose of the
          master trust is to pool investment transactions and achieve uniform
          rates of return on comparable funds under all plans.

       At Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (Putnam or the trustee), plan
          investments are invested in the following investment funds
          in addition to the Toro Company Common Stock:

           The Toro Stable Value Fund, which prior to May 1, 1995 was referred
               to as the Toro Investment Fund A, is invested in
               investment contracts with insurance companies, major banks, and
               other financial institutions. The fund's holdings may also
               include U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, AAA-
               rated asset-backed securities, high-quality debt securities, and
               money market investments.

           The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income is invested in common stock of
               companies with current income and capital growth.

       As of July 31, 1995, the Plan's investments were held by Putnam
          Fiduciary Trust Company. Financial information on the
          investment funds is presented in note 6.

                      THE TORO COMPANY MATCHING STOCK PLAN


       At Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company, the current trustee of the plan, the
          seven plans deposit funds in the Toro Stable Value Fund, of
          which each plan owns an individual interest in the net assets of the
          fund based upon its equity ownership in the fund. Prior to May 1,
          1995, the trustee was First Trust National Association, and the seven
          plans deposited funds in the Toro Investment Funds A, B, and C and
          each owned an undivided interest in the net assets of the funds based
          on its equity ownership in the respective funds. Toro Investment Fund
          A was invested primarily in fixed income securities, including
          contracts guaranteeing a fixed return for a specific period of time.
          Toro Investment Fund B was a general investment fund and holds, in
          addition to other investments, the Toro Company common stock. Toro
          Investment Fund C was invested in a combination of Standard and
          Poor's, small capitalization, and international funds.

       The Plan's share of net investment income from the investment funds is
          determined by the trustee based on the ratio of the fair
          value of the Plan's equity in the investment funds to the total net
          assets of the investment fund at the beginning of the plan year.

       The investment securities of the First Trust and Putnam investment funds
          are stated at market values based upon published quotations or, in the
          absence of available quotations, at fair values determined by the
          trustees. The short term securities of the Toro Stable Value Fund and
          the Toro Investment Funds are stated at cost, which approximates
          market. Guaranteed investment contracts included in the Toro Stable
          Value Fund and Toro Investment Fund A are stated at contract value
          (cost plus accrued interest). Purchases and sales of securities are
          recorded on a trade-date basis.

(2)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

       The Plan became effective as of August 1, 1988. The purpose of the Plan
          is to provide certain eligible employees of the Toro Company and its
          participating subsidiaries (referred to together as the Company) with
          an opportunity to save part of their compensation on a pre-tax basis
          (and, if an employee so elects, on an after-tax basis) and to have
          those savings accumulate in a tax-deferred investment account which is
          invested in the common stock of the Company and distributed after
          termination of active employment. The Company, as administrator of the
          Plan, absorbs the major portion of the administrative costs and
          trustee fees of the Plan.

       Participants may agree to have their salaries reduced on a pre-tax
          basis, after-tax basis, or a combination thereof at rates
          ranging up to 4% of annual compensation through an automatic payroll
          deduction each payroll period, provided that such deductions may not
          exceed $2,400 in any plan year.

       The Company will make contributions to the Plan on behalf of each
          participant who makes pre-tax or after-tax contributions to
          the Plan. These Company matching contributions consist of basic
          matching contributions and performance-based matching contributions,
          as described below.

       The Company's basic matching contribution will be equal to 25% of the
          sum of the amounts contributed by a participant to the Plan.

                      THE TORO COMPANY MATCHING STOCK PLAN


       If the Company meets certain financial goals as defined by its Board of
          Directors, the Company may make performance based matching
          contributions to the Plan. If the specified financial goals are
          achieved, the performance-based matching contribution may be equal to
          an additional 25% of a participant's fiscal year contributions to the
          Plan.

       A participant is eligible to receive a performance-based matching
          contribution only if enrolled in the Plan on the last day of the plan
          year.

       Company matching contributions and performance-based matching
          contributions, together with income attributable thereto,
          will vest at the rate of 20% after two years of vesting service, with
          an additional 20% being accumulated annually thereafter until the
          employee is 100% vested. Plan earnings are allocated to participants
          based on individual account balances. Forfeitures are applied towards
          future Company contributions.

       Contributions and benefit payments are made under control of the plan
          administrator.

       Unallocated represents contributions receivable which have not yet been
          allocated to the above-mentioned funds in the participants'
          predetermined allocation percentages. The allocation of the
          participants' and Company contributions to these investment funds
          is selected by the participants.

(3)  FUNDING POLICY

       The Company's funding policy is to make monthly basic contributions and
          annual performance-based matching contributions to the Plan up to
          amounts allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The performance-based
          contribution is determined by the Board of Directors of the Toro
          Company and is based on the specified financial goals.

       The employee contributions consist of salary reduction elections under
          401(k) plan, as well as after-tax contributions.

(4)  PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

       Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company and The First Trust National Association
          (trustees) are parties-in-interest with respect to the Plan. In the
          opinion of the Plan's legal counsel, transactions between the Plan,
          the trustees, and the Toro Company are exempt from being considered as
          prohibited transactions under the Employee Retirement Income
          Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) Section 408(b).

(5)  PLAN TERMINATION

       The Toro Company has voluntarily agreed to make contributions to the
          Plan. Although the Company has not expressed any intent to
          terminate the Plan, it may do so at any time. Upon the termination of
          the Plan, the interest of the participants in the trust fund shall
          fully vest. The trustee shall liquidate the trust fund, distributing
          benefits to the participants or their beneficiaries. The trustee shall
          reserve amounts as may be required to pay any expenses of termination,
          liquidation, and distribution and shall then segregate each
          participant's trust fund share in a special account.

                      THE TORO COMPANY MATCHING STOCK PLAN


       The Company merged the Plan with the Toro profit sharing plans,
          effective August 1, 1995. Vesting policies for the merged
          plan are consistent with those under the current Plan.

(6)  INVESTMENTS

       Under the terms of the trust agreement, the trustees manage investment
          funds on behalf of the Plan. The trustees have been granted
          discretionary authority concerning the purchases and sales of the
          investments of the investment funds. In accordance with the trust
          agreement, certain assets of the Plan are held together with assets
          of other plans sponsored by the Company in the master trust.

       Guaranteed investment contracts of the Toro Stable Value Fund of
          $2,134,493 issued by Confederation Life Insurance Company
          (CL) were held at July 31, 1995. On August 12, 1994, CL was placed
          under court supervised rehabilitation. Since the date CL was placed in
          rehabilitation to July 31, 1995, payments to plan participants (or
          their beneficiaries) from the Plan included 100% of the interests of
          plan participants in the annuity contracts based on the valuation of
          the CL annuity contracts as of August 11, 1994.

       Beginning August 1, 1995, payments from the CL annuity contracts have
          been suspended pending further court action until such time
          as the fair market value of the CL annuity contracts can be
          determined. The action suspending distributions was consistent with
          procedures published by the Internal Revenue Service. Effective August
          1, 1995, a loan agreement has been established between the Company and
          the Plan providing the Company to fund payments to plan participants
          (or their beneficiaries) for 100% of the interests of plan
          participants in the CL annuity contracts based on the valuation of the
          CL annuity contracts as of August 11, 1994.

       The CL annuity contracts are recorded in the accompanying financial
          statements and schedules at cost plus accrued interest as of August
          11, 1994. No earnings have been accrued in the Plan's financial
          statements since August 11, 1994.

       As of the date of this report, the Company is not aware of any principal
          loss associated with these investments. Accordingly, no provision for
          loss on the CL annuity contracts has been recognized in the
          accompanying financial statements.

       The net assets available for benefits of the master trust at July 31,
          1995 were as follows:

          to the Plan are qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
          Code and that the trust created under the Plan is exempt from federal
          income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code. The plan administrator
