Toro TIMECUTTER 50" Zero Turn - A Good Choice For A Homeowner? 

Yes ! I bought the standard time cutter 42 pressed steel.. and I took it right back and upgraded to this unit and I am so happy I feel like it holds it value

Nice video, I have had this exact mower for about a year and have just busted my first deck belt. Ordered online so waiting for them to turn up!

Nice! 👏🏼 Twice a week?! I’m lucky to do it twice a month. 🤦🏻‍♀️🌲 Good job on your new ride. 👍🏼

Congrats Don, nice looking Zero-turn plus with the My-Ride 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂

I have that same mower but it is a 2011 model and doesn't have "My Ride" I love mine. The oil stick is clean and it does not smoke. In 12 years the only maintenance problem I have had to perform is a new solenoid, which was easy. and cheap. Did it myself.

I bought the My Ride 50 in July. Traded up from the Toro 42". This is a fantastic machine. ♥️👍🏾💯

Thanks for the video. I'm looking to buy a zero turn ( for residential use) and will be looking at this model this week. I don't know how much this Toro model is compared to others makes but I'll find out this week. A year ago I purchased new the 21 in walk behind (Toro) and have had problems with the engine (briggs & Statton). Been in the repair shop twice now in the past 2 months.

Deck is easy to slide out (3 cotter pins) to work on. You'll get handy at driving it, one handed after a dozen or so sessions. I had a 2012 Husqvarna 42" deck before I got my Timecutter last summer, the difference is dramatic. I mow for my homeowners association (around 1&1/4 acres) that is a 3/4 mile long strip of road frontage, the Timecutter does a fantastic job!

Nice mower

good vid don

If you compare the drives, engines, and all the other specs you could have gone with one of the smaller Bad Boys and been at about the same level machine for a lot less than 6000. I almost bought the Toro myself until my brother made me paranoid and I started doing some research. It probably would have worked just fine, but after comparing specs I went with something else.

FYI After running at full throttle it's best to allow it to idle for a minute or so. Check owners manual. That's why they have "cool down" laps in racing. Pertains to most motors as well.

No problem with hoisting the front up as high as possible. I do that all the time with my KAW 23hp, never even one puff of smoke. If you're still uncomfortable, then just wait 10 minutes before starting it.

Regarding the electric brake failing in 10 years or so, it does seem like a guy could fab a linkage system to engage them manually. The brake system looks uber simple.

Watch the front tires- they tend to not hold pressure well. I ended up cleaning tire bead and rim, then coat both edges with a "tire stop leak product like slime" . Had little problem in year since.

Good morning, I have just purchased the small version, a lot cheaper I presume, It doesn’t have the comfy seat on it I’ve noticed, it has been a big learning curve. How to control it, I have some steep soaps which go down to the river, and yes, I’ve actually parked it in the river took me two hours to remove it with electric winch, luckily I did not do any damage, But I think I should’ve gone for a ride on with a steering wheel, I have around about 7000 m² of land. I might be a bit more. , I was impressed with the, especially as some of my grass is nearly 3 feet high stinging nettles and brambles, as it hasn’t been cut for nearly 3 years properly, Stay safe keep up the great work , if you get this, let me know how you get on with your steering and how was the bagger? Did you get the grass collector box for it?, France.

They hold up good if you take care of them, it’s all up to the owner 😢😢😢

Get you a cheap 12v booster/ power bank that has the lead to boost car batteries, found one on Amazon for $20. That should activate the brake. The 2024 model addresses a lot of these concerns?. Just saw a video on yt.

The 2024 model has gone back to non electronic brake and the height goes to 5-inches now.

I’d put an hour meter on it. I negotiated that into the deal when buying at the dealer.

I just purchased the same mower and my question to you is why the bagger @ $900 vs the recycle kit (mulching kit) # $311.

Hello! Don. Is the black car you have up on the platform a Chevy Corvette? If so what year model is it looks really nice?

Just purchased a new Bad Boy Avenger a couple of weeks ago at tractor supply, $4700, not 6K.

How turr is the timecutter

How much time to cut 2 flat acres, without obstacles with that 50"? Thanks in advance!

You need to build a bigger shed now.😢

Does it state 4.5 INCHES?or,is it merely a reference number? That's what I'm finding on mine.

No our machine I don’t buy they don’t put in our meter in it I don’t buy it

My wife likes to pump the choke button like 5 or 6 times when she starts the mower. I do it the way you are in this video. Yesterday, my wife and I could not start the mower so we left it overnight and were able to restart it in the morning. Do you know if pumping the choke can flood the engine?
