Converting a Toro Hydraulic Controller to Electric

Toro Freestyle 8 Hydraulic to Electric Conversion

An older Toro Freestyle 8 hydraulic controller uses 1/4-inch tubing. The owner wants to adapt it to a modern electronic controller without replacing all valves and running new wires.

Toro Conversion Kit

Toro offers a conversion kit (model EHC-01-12 for 12 stations) that interfaces hydraulic tubing with electric solenoids. It works with both normally-open and pin-type systems. The kit costs more than the controller itself but avoids extensive excavation and rewiring.

Sourcing and Installation

Check with a local Toro dealer or John Deere Landscapes (nationwide). Installation is straightforward; the owner can reply for step-by-step guidance.
