Toro TimeCutter® Zero Turn Lawn Mower Rubber Floor Mat

I just got my Toro Z4200 mower last week and thought this would be a nice accessory to reduce slippage when getting on and off the mower. I also wanted to protect the floor pan from getting scratched up and rusted.

I ordered this on a Saturday and it was delivered to my home on Tuesday with standard shipping! Great customer service from Mowers Direct!

As for the floor mat itself, I wanted to write this review because the pictures and description do not do justice to the quality of the product.

It is made of heavy gauge rubber and appears to be 2 layers bonded together. The bottom layer has circular cutouts to fit over the raised areas in the metal floor pan of the mower.

The top layer has a raised "hash" pattern to enhance traction. Also not mentioned in the descriptions of this product, both here at MD and at Toro.com, is that that the mat has an adhesive backing to mount it to the floor pan.

It seems to be a very strong adhesive and I imagine it is a one-shot deal to get it mounted straight. I peeled the backing off only at the front at first, got that lined up, and then rolled it back a little at a time. It worked for me.

Once mounted to the floor pan, the mat looks like it came with the mower instead of being an add-on. I had originally thought of getting some kind of rubber mat at the local home center but this product is so much better than anything else I could have found.

If you are thinking of buying this, hesitate no more!

I’ve owned this mower for three weeks.

If you’re picky about your lawn, would probably cut your lawn more often if it weren’t such a pain, and would love professional-like results, you’ve got to step up and buy this mower.

It will cut your mower time in half and the results are amazing.

The design of the Z5035 is sturdy and simplistic, so much so that it has a guy like me planning on doing all of the regularly scheduled maintenance and installing the recycler kit on my own.

Everything is “right there” easy to get to and keep clean. With my retired lawn tractor, I always farmed out the maintenance.

My only caution is this: If you have any sloped area that has a sharp turn involved (especially during wetter spring-time conditions) you have to be careful not to let the thing get away from you.

Because of the handling characteristics of hydrostatic drives and the weight distribution, some of the mower control can momentarily slip away. Think it through, you should be fine.

The fun part: I have a neighbor across the street that just purchased one of those expensive “tight-turning” bright green lawn tractors. Seeing him try to keep up is a scream.

The faster he tries to get the job done, the worse his lawn looks. When it comes to efficiency and quality of the cut, it’s not even close.
