Toro's system is called power steering, but it's not a differential as with Ariens, nor Easy Turn as with Simplicity. Power steering works simply by squeezing the left trigger to turn left and the right trigger to turn right. To turn left, the left wheel stops turning to allow only the right wheel to give you turn-to-the-left power. To turn right, the right wheel stops turning to allow only the left wheel to give you turn-to-the right power.
At my school job, I have used a Husqvarna blower with power steering. It does exactly as I have stated above, so the Toro is the same thing. It's a pretty cool set-up. It's the next best thing to an Ariens differential, which I have also used at work with an early 90s Ariens ST1032 tank.
We can use machines to suit our circumstances. Each to his own.
