2020 Toro Timecutter MyRide Lawn Mower Review 

If you are interested in this machine Home Depot & Tractor Supply both have good prices on these. Thank you for watching please *LIKE* and *SUBSCRIBE*

MyRide is a lifesaver. My old property was 10 acres but only 2 of it actually needed to be mowed. I bought a new property with a full 5 acres that needed to be mowed. I tried doing it with the old Deere tractor and my back was destroyed after. Broke down and bought the 52 in time cutter with MyRide and I'm so glad I did. Makes all the difference.

Toro has the most innovation on the residential side by far. They created the first wide-cut mower at 30" that's set up like a conventional 21" mower for compact mowing but with a 40% wider cut called a TimeMaster 30, which is an amazing machine. Copied by MTD but not even close. I've owned a TimeMaster. Amazing. Can't go back to a 21" mower. They created the Personal Pace self-propelled system that cannot be touched in the industry. They began the stowing system that they call stow and go or something like that for walk behinds where one can store it upright in a garage. They brought the blade stop feature to the residential walk behind customer. They and Honda popularized the electric start option for walk behinds for a reasonable premium. Toro found a way to get around the cartel of Briggs and Stratton, Kawasaki and Kohler and licensed a company to build spec'd out engines for them, so they could give us more bang for the buck (Note: MTD has done this as well but not with the same quality and reputation outcome as Toro). They have the first walk-behind, cordless or corded electric that is a full size walk behind mower with a 22" blade and 60 volt capacity. They keep adding innovative features and up'ing the game while staying price competitive. In previous years, this has mostly been with respect to walk behinds; but now they are coming alive with ZTRs and making the competition squirm. The 2020 TimeCutter series has many, many improvements and optional features for a competitive price that goes way beyond what they offered for 2019. Can't go wrong with Toro. I mean, it is possible for them to make a lemon; but all-in-all, they are the best at the residential at giving customers value and standing behind their products.

Great review. One thing that always cracks me up about these machines is the beer holder cup shown at 8:12 As if your beer is not going to be flat or completely exploded from the can after 2 minutes of mowing 😂 Other than that, I really like just about everything about this mower. Even the visible level of fuel, means no parts to break, as it would with a traditional gas gauge. Thanks so much for the great review, once again. Happy mowing everyone! 😊

I always hate the other review channels your channel explains a lot more and breaks it down you deserve more subscribers

I saw one of these at a dealer and I decided to sit on the seat, and the seat was terrific, and that myride system really works!!

Just bought myself a 54 inch Toro Timecutter, I LOVE it! Great review brother!

This is a great review--very comprehensive and excellent at highlighting features that I wouldn't even have thought about but realize are very important (oil change process is genius!). Thanks for this!

We sold 2 of our older machines this week, our new Toro MyRide 54" will be at our Toro dealership soon. Can't wait!

Just bought one today from Home Depot for $3599. It'll be a backup mower for my lawn care business. Im excited to pick er up!

Your cons on this mower is unwarranted. It’s a awesome machine

Just bought a Toro myride 50" from my local home depot and they had it priced wrong at $2399, so I snatched it up real quick. Thanks Home Depot! LOL

Here’s a few things I wished you have mentioned. 1. Tool-less belt covers. This is a great feature that makes belt changes a breeze. 2. Smart Speed transmission. This allows the user to go as slow or as fast as desired WHILE maintaining full throttle blade tip speed. This is huge for folks who are new to zero turns or maybe ladies or older folks who don’t want or feel comfortable with going high speed but don’t want to lose cut performance by throttling down to keep the mower speed slower. 3. It comes with a 3 year, unlimited hour warranty. That’s fantastic. Their engines are great. Hope this helps!

I've recently been thinking about this toro, thanks for the critique!

My Toro 42" Zero Turn Mower with grass catcher (model 74360) is now 11 years old and it has preformed perfectly. If you are thinking about a zero turn you might check out Toros. No, I don't work for Toro, but believe me when I tell you how happy I am that I have one. Best of Luck, FR

Very nice review. Toro has been building great mowers for many years. Seems like this fits the bill for many.

This mower actually looks pretty good for still being a residential grade mower

Great review and you really do a great job. My wife and I love all your videos. My wife also says you have a very relaxing voice. Keep up the great work and reviews. Thank you

Good review I end up buying the cub cadet Ultima ZT2 54 great machine and the bagging system works really well easy to take of n put back on n the prices are similar I paid 3900 for the zero turn with a reinforced deck n 600 for the bagging system and a 3 year warranty unlimited miles electronic n engine that sealed the deal for me the best warranty on lawns on the market today the Toro looks really good to 👍🏽

Great review, just bought one today almost identical to yours. I skipped the bagger but will most likely get it here in a few months. I'll more then likely get the light kit add on and plow at some point as well. Hopefully it lives up to the hype and the price tag ($4399 pretax for the 50in w/ MyRide). Thanks for the in depth review!

Your lawn looks amazing!

Very good video, satisfying voice over

great looking zero!

Nice machine. At 5k+ I don't expect any DIY stuff, but works for my needs overall

Well done my man. Just got mine today with a Kawasaki engine and it rides like a dream.

Nice machine. All I need now is a big lawn.

Great review! And I like the darn tough socks! I have the same pair!

Thanks for the review. This will make choosing a zero turn much easier

That looks like an amazing mower.

Hey, man. I couldn’t help but notice something. The Lawn Care Nut claims he bought the first 2020 Timecutter in the US, but, his video came out a month after you posted yours😅 maybe you should get the certificate of authenticity saying you bought the very first one. Lmao, love the videos! Can’t wait for the next one(:

5:58 I have the same thing in my life. :)

Wow, this is nice and a fraction of the price of the other commercial mowers that can bag. Thanks for the review.

I would like to see your review on the Toro Titan 2020 60inch cut when you get a chance. Good video.

Really enjoyed your video thank you

Great video and review. Thank you.

I have a 50in my ride with a Kawasaki engine, love mine.

Great review. I really appreciate all your videos, they are concise accurate and helpful. If you could choose any similar zero turn mower and price was not a consideration, which would you choose?

I'm actually looking at getting one of these mowers in the near future

After owning one for 2 months the only down sides I've found are no electronic fuel gauge, doesn't come with an hr meter and the first time you change the oil, the hose is dry fit and if your not careful you'll break the plastic part off. Bought the mulch kit and the thing work amazing, but it soooo ugly. Bought some 1/8" steel sheet and fabricated a chute cover. Overall, super awesome machine.

That's a nice deck. Lot homeowner mowers have 14 gauge stamped steel decks. The thicker deck is a must in areas with sandy soil. The separate wheel motors are nice. I would like to see a screw on automotive type filter on the hydraulic system

love your contact man

Just bought a new toro time cutter 50in with the kawi engine, it makes a squeaky noise when I’m turning or moving the levers, is that normal or should I look swap it out for different one from Home Depot?

Great video , thank you for reassuring my choice I really like it , works well .

Good review of the. Machine

Good video! I have one. Titan Z. Looking at the new ones.

Toro is my Number one brand the best

You can change the oil in the hydro's. I totally do this every season. I have also installed zerc fittings on the spindles after the bearings went out after 8-9 months, regular cutting intervals.

That is a really nice machine. I like everything about it except the hydros. I think that machine has the hydro gear 2200 hydros that are entry level non serviceable units. I have a 2 year old toro mx5050 which is now discontinued. It has the same engine, the same deck but in a 50 inch. It dose not have the my ride but it has the hydro gear 2800 units that are beefier and fully serviceable. My mx5050 has been a beast and I love it. I just don't like that toro took away the better hydros and gave you a gimmicky suspension system with the new units. At this price point if I were shopping for a zero turn today I'd look at the cub cadet zt2 or the bobcat crz. They are the same price point and you get the better transmissions.

Do you know who manufacturers the engine? Looks like a nice zero turn. Side note: love the P21S total auto wash you recommended. Great stuff !!

I agree with Rich Gordon that the machine is pricey for one that's running the 2200 hydros. Cub Cadet ZT2 comes in at $3699 with the 2800 serviceable hydros and a Kawasaki engine. Toro has created a more comfortable and user friendly machine though.

What’s your opinion of a bagger vs. a lawn sweeper?

Love the mower

ok review. should have talked a little more about the V twin Toro engine. is it available for the 42in. unit? Some retailers no nothing about the Toro V twin eng. Nothing wrong with the bagger tie-down strap, the air filter was designed nicely so easy to change the filter and replace it and you can't go wrong in placing it. I would like to see how well the grass chute works, will it plug up? how does it handle the moist grass? how many gls to fill the tank? How about the speed control? How does one steer it? does it have brakes? how does one clean the underside of the deck? how do you start it? where is the battery? Does it shut off when you get off the unit?

Hello, I also have the bag system on my toro my ride MX4275, but it clogs almost immediately in the lower tube, even when the grass is not very wet. Do you have the same problem ? It only collects when the grass previously cut, the day before, has dried. Which means doing twice the work What cutting height do you recommend to avoid this problem? Thank you for your feedback.

Not sure what type of grass you have but it’s nice. Looks like the edge of a putting green with the length. If I go below 3.5” mine starts turning brown. Irrigation is always a big plus but is expensive and NOT maintenance free.

Just one thing I was wondering. Where is the battery located and is it easy to remove for winter charging. I’ll own one of these some day I hope 😁

I know this question is alittle off beat but what is the soap mix that you use on the mower Once again thank you for your time and effort in these informative videos DC

Very nice I am purchasing a mower just like this one and considering purchasing a bagger one question how does the bagger do with a little taller grass ? Did it clogged the shoot easily? Thanks

42 inch at Home Depot for 2790. Just went up 200 bucks from 2590. My first zero turn. This is a great mower. Why did I wait so long!

I bought s 54" with My Ride 2 months ago and I am thrilled. I don't understand your comment about the premium price. I got mine directly from the Toro website. It was priced and just under $4000 but they had a $300 special. Mine was shipped to the best dealer in my area. Totally assembled, setup and delivered for just under $4K tax included. Nothing comes close for a residential zero turn with that quality and features. My only complaints are that for the price, there is no hour meter or decent gas gauge. They want $100 for lame hour meter. I am not sure they had a good option for the gas gauge because of the shape of the gas tank. I think the bagger is $100 less now but still overpriced. I also wish it was designed for solid canisters so I could put a 40 gal. trash bag in it. If your thinking of buying a zero turn. Give this model a look vs others. It comes with the same "Toro" engine as their next line and pro line. It also has a good reliability record. I will say the duel carb can suck down the fuel. They say it gets better over time time but that is backwards to most engines. I hoped this helped.

Nice review. Eyeing one of these myself but for me the lack of grease fittings (sealed) is a big negative. I get that it's easier but not good for longevity imho.

Did you say Toro gave you the mower? For keeps or just so you could review it??

Does that stripe like a commercial zero turn?

Could you do the video on cleaning your mowers? There's a mix of opinions wether you can pressure spray engine or not. It seems on this video that you have your way of doing it

What did you spray on the mower when cleaning it? P21S?

You think this model changes spec from country to country ?? I've seen some with the Kawasaki FR691V which is 23 HP. I hope the Toro having 24.5 HP is actually stronger in the real sense and not just some numbers. Also, what hydro units does this have ? ZT -2100 ??

Do you think this would be good for commercial use for about 12 yards that's less than a half an acre each?

I've never had the bagger top come off. I suggest you keep the top secured rather than leave it unsecured.

My Aries Icon x has all the same features and does it better and I’m not biased, I wanted the time cutter and thought it was perfect but then I found out about the icon x it has all the same features and does them better I can stand on the deck and it won’t budge! But if you have a good toro dealer but a bad Ariens one then get the toro. Also NEVER buy equipment from Home Depot,Lowe’s, or any other big box store!

How much is the price for full options?

What is the black accessory you have bolted to the front?

👌

What would be your actual choice: this Toro or the Walker you presented in an earlier video?

Nice, but if you want a 'beefy and cool looking' ztr at that price point, look up Spartan Mowers.

I have a new 50 inch toro and front wheel and tire are 11x6x5 need a spare for work and come to find out toro don't have any and can not tell me when there ever going to get any. Now if I have a problem with a tire I will have to load mower on the trailer and go fix it. day shot. Wish the dealer had told me this before I spent 3300. Part number is 139-5843 could not find one anywhere.

Would love to see a video on how you script and film your videos. Being a gardener myself I really do love your videos and are always very impressed with the detail that goes into them.

Where is the link to buy the bagger

How does it cut at 4.5”

What model is this?

Where do you get the bagging system?

Can the 50" tow?

In the UK the price ranges around £6,500 = $7.950 😲

Very good the Toro but the only problem I had was the belt cut off by the sweet gum seed from trees got stuck in the pulley and that’s it ruins my day be careful with those seeds shells

I had an older ss5000 and it was ok for the price (I think it was 2899). No way I would pay anywhere near 4k for one.

Son muy muy eficientes poderosos y el corte es casi perfecto, pero cuando hay mucho pasto se tapa el tubo recolector 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ y eso va para todos los modelos de cortadoras

Price tag?

makes me wonder why the stander style mowers are double in price of these....

I have a 42" tractor. I wonder if my wife would buy the idea that I need this machine ?

Is this not rated Comercial?

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ru-vid.comUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

Is it it commercial!

Does not mean you should stand on the deck otherwise you will bend it

rear tires to small tires spin a lot and gets stuck

The motor is 'Loncin' with a toro badge, (not that that's a bad thing) fyi

I was hoping for a give away at the end of the video. 🙁

4:04 my mower actually doesn't hava manul choke.

If it had the Kawasaki engine, then it would be worth the “premium-price”...🤘

That rear bag latch. THEY SHOULD have used, a stronger piece of square tubing coming to the back. Then, using a levered cam-lock, lock the bags on. ...oh well, modern toy engineers, all need to ' grow up '. Build things, better than your toy drills, etc....

Did he really complain about heavy bags full of clippings...

What's model number ?
