Toro TimeCutter Hourmeter Kit (SS Series Models)

I purchased this mower from Mowers Direct and it was delivered very quickly on a sturdy wooden crate. I paid extra for the lift gate option (Unless you have a forklift truck). It weighs about 580 lbs. crated. I purchased the hour meter and the recycle kit. It took me approximately three hours to un-crate it and set it up with the recycle kit. I removed the deck to install the recycle kit which was a little hard to do for the first time.

I downloaded the manuals to my computer a couple of days earlier and read them from front to back. This made the initial setup much easier. I even removed the two front wheels to grease and inflate to the proper air pressure (It was too hard to do that with the tires installed.) I checked the oil and poured in the gas and adjusted the seat. The mower started right up and I took it for a spin around the yard at slow speed.

It takes a little time to get used to the steering controls. I took my time going through my chain link gates and made it look easy. I like how it cleans the deck with a garden hose. Overall the mower is great and the instructions are well written. It is well built and should last a very long time. If you plan to store it in a shed make some room. This mower is about six feet long.
