      one Preferred Share Purchase Right pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated

The
      number of shares of Common Stock stated above represents an increase in
      the total number of shares reserved for issuance under The Toro Company

      addition, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
      under the Plan is subject to adjustment in accordance with certain
      provisions of the Plan.  Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 416 under
      the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to the
      extent additional shares of Common Stock may be issued or issuable as a
      result of a stock split or other distribution declared at any time by the
      Board of Directors while this Registration Statement is in effect, this
      Registration Statement is hereby deemed to cover all such additional
      shares of Common Stock.

STATEMENT
UNDER GENERAL INSTRUCTION E—
REGISTRATION
OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
This
Registration Statement is filed by The Toro Company (the "Registrant") pursuant
to General Instruction E of Form S-8 and relates to the Registrant's earlier
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-39052), filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 12, 2000, as amended by the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-89262), filed with the
Commission on May 28, 2002, by the Registrant's Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
to Form S-8 (333-89262), filed with the Commission on June 2, 2003, and by the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-135033), filed with the
Commission on June 15, 2006.  Under those three earlier Registration
Statements, the Registrant registered shares of its common stock, par value
$1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), and related Preferred Share Purchase
Rights, to be offered and sold in connection with The Toro Company 2000 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan").  Following a 2-for-1 stock split with a
record date of April 1, 2003, and a second 2-for-1 stock split with a record
date of March 28, 2005, and the increase in shares by Registration Statement No.
333-135033, the total number of shares, on an after-split basis, authorized to
be offered and sold in connection with the Plan was 6,400,000.  The
contents of Registrant's Registration Statements Nos. 333-89262 and 333-39052,
as amended by Registrant's Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, and Registration
Statement No. 33-135033 are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
Amendment
to Increase Authorized Shares
On March
11, 2008, the shareholders of the Registrant approved an amendment to the Plan
to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under
the Plan by 800,000 from an aggregate of 6,400,000 to an aggregate of 7,200,000,
subject to adjustment to reflect changes in the corporate or capital structure
of Registrant, including but not limited to stock splits, stock dividends or
similar transactions.
