Q: Todd, Just bought Toro Z4235 42" 20HP zero turn; is there a mulch kit out there for this mower? I noticed the two kits on your site do not fit the Zseries or the one that fits the Z series does not include the 2011 model. by Dave Marino from Ohio on May 04, 2011
A: Dave - there is no 2011 model for the TimeCutter Z4235. You may have bought your mower this year brand new, but this is a 2010 or earlier model. Toro stopped manufacturing the Z4235 in September of 2010. All 2011 Toro TimeCutters are the new SS series. The mulch kit that fits the TimeCutter Z4235 zero turn mower is the Toro 79311. by Todd, Product Expert
Q: Will this mulch kit, Model 79018, with 3 blades, fit on a Toro Model SS4235, which only has two blades? The picture caption states this kit contains only 2 mulch blades. If so, how is it different from the other mulch kit Model 79311? by Paul Sabec from Wyoming on April 25, 2011
A: This would be the mulch kit for your model mower as long as it is a SS4235. The 79311 would be the mulching kit for last year and later model TimeCutter mowers.
This kit would be different in the way it would fit on the deck. You would not be looking at drastic differences, but they are two different mulch kits.
I have had 2 top of the line Toro Super Recycler mulching mowers that really mulched well. When I finally splurged and got the Toro Timecutter 42" for my new yard I was influenced in my mower choice by my prior experience with the Toro mulching mowers and the fact that the Timecutter had this mulching accessory available. Overall I am quite disappointed at the results. It seems to work if going in a *straight line*, at medium to slow speed, on bone-dry grass, cutting off less than an inch. Other than that you get lots of big clumps left on the lawn - especially when changing directions. At every turn I get clumps so big I wonder if a cow visited my lawn. I have ended up raking the clumps off the lawn after every mowing. This mulching kit does a POOR job of mulching the grass - It is not even close to the Super Recycler mulching mowers mulching. I do NOT recommend this at all.

I purchased a new Toro SS4235 (42") mower on 5-20-2011, and due to an unusual drought, I was not able to use it till today 6-20 2011 exactly a month later. I am impressed at how much time the Toro saved me, compared to my previous riding mower. So far I am very satisfied with my purchase, and would recommend Mowers Direct to anyone looking to buy a mower. Their sales staff are professional and courteous. The mower arrived on time and neatly crated with no damage. The Toro looks and feels like a very well made US product, and I expect many years of service from it.

My First ZTR Mower
I have really loved my new mower. It has cut the mowing time for my lawn by at least a third, if not a half. My only complaint is that with the mulching kit I seem to have a lot more clippings on my lawn when I am done than I used to have with my Craftsmen Lawn Tractor.

Great place to buy
I bought one from someone else but after 3 weeks I keep calling to hear "sorry not in stock." So i found Mowers Direct, called and got one in 5 days.
Great staff, and I plan to buy more stuff here. The mower is great. THANK YOU.

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but may as well get someone posting a review.
Mowers Direct was tied with the best price I found anywhere, but when you factor in no tax charged and free shipping +$50 for the lift gate service, it was no contest. The mower arrived at the local terminal quickly. Too bad those guys forgot to put it on the truck the day we had a delivery appointment. But when they got it here a day late, the driver was very friendly and professional.
Set-up was pretty easy, though I could have gotten it off of the pallet much quicker with another person's help. The mower doesn't roll off of the packaging crate quite as easy as the instructions would imply. The seat and handles are pretty easily adjustable to get a good fit (and I'm a small guy).
As for cut quality, I have only used the mulching kit, but it was smooth and even. Still haven't tested it on wet or extra long grass yet. The controls are very easy and intuitive. The select a speed option or whatever they call it is very handy for getting around landscaping and edges. At the Hi speed setting, precision steering requires a little too much precision coordination for me. But over all, it took about 20 minutes for my 110x175 lot.
I was pleasantly surprised at the sound level. It wasn't nearly as loud as I would have expected.
The mulching kit was not too hard to install, but some of the instructions could stand to be revised for a little more precision description. The most difficult part about that installation was the fear associated with torquing on bolts with the 600lb mower up on cinder blocks.
Overall, though I've only used it a couple of times, I think I'll be happy in the long term. Nothing about the obvious build quality worries me.
And this is at least the 3rd purchase I've made with the (insertyouproduct)Direct family of companies and have always been happy with the price, quality, and delivery time.
