Toro TimeCutter® Zero Turn Lawn Mower Hitch Kit

We love our new Toro Zero Turn Mower. Delivery was exactly as promised.

When we unpacked the mower the back right tire was flat. The mower had moved from the wooden packing frame and the tires were stuck inside the frame, rather than on the frame. We inflated the tire and removed it from the packing. The next morning the tire was flat again. We again inflated it. It was flat in 15 minutes.

We inflated it again and poured soapy water over it. There was a hole in the tire. We called Mower's Direct and they instructed us to buy a new tire and send them the invoice. We did so. Within a few days our reimbursement check was in the mail.

Mowers Direct is a company we will do business with in the future. They stand behind their products and service. That is rare in this day and time

First I must say that writing a review is a very cumbersome event.

So I bought my mower a 42" Time cutter model #74360 at a local big box store. It was a close out and whom ever put it together overtightened a screw and cracked the plastic so it was discounted even more.

Got it home and I had some issues getting it to run. That little lever in the back has to be in the middle. No big deal. Ran it for a couple weeks and I love it. I have roughly 12 acre of grass and I can do it after work and still sit down for dinner before dark.

I can get very close to the fence and trees thus making weed eating even less of a chore. I found the lack of a bag a big deal so I ordered one and the process was easy as can be.

Got the bagger part #79324, the hitch #79318, cover 490-7516, mat 79315, and HOC 79313.

So lets start with the bagger. Absolutely love the ease it goes on. It picks up everything. Only complaints I have is 1) there is no gauge window so I don't know how full it is. 2) The fact that the 42" and 50" mowers use all the same parts but the first piece and the kit comes with both. Seems like a lot of waste.

The hitch I have yet to use and I do not think I will as you cannot use it with the bagger on. Taking the bagger on and off each time I want to tow a trailer is not for me. I guess I will have to make my own.

Cover is on my mower but it only covers a chunk of it as it is not made to go over the bagger. I think its better than nothing. It does cover the motor, seat and all that which is important. It is of heavy material and I suspect it will last a very long time.

The mat I absolutely love. I live in Oregon and it is wet. The mat makes getting on and off the mower a lot safer. Also makes cleaning the unit a whole lot easier.

The HOC, is a foot control that raises and lowers the deck. My yard has trees in it and as such branches. Also with kids, who knows what's in the yard.

The HOC makes it a breeze to raise the deck and keep your hands on the controls. What I like best is the HOC just picks the deck up to full height but doesn't mess with the height when you let go. So if you have it set on 2 and you use the foot control it raises the deck and as soon as you release it, it goes back to 2. Very nice feature.

Only thing I wish Toro made was an affordable hour meter. I know they make one but for the cost I can buy 4 aftermarket ones.

Also would love a light kit. I am now getting home around 5-6pm and its getting dark. Definetly be a great thing to have.

Best Mower I've ever owned or used.

If you have several obstacles, hills, trees, and other areas to make several turns and moves while mowing, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET THE 4235 IN LIEU OF THE 5035. I have about 1 Acre though, and it is perfect.

I clear just over an acre in about 40 minutes. I have a pool, play area, numerous trees, and one 45 degree steep hill. The 4235 with the Kawasaki V-twin 22 HP engine is PERFECT.

I added the Mulcher kit, hour meter, and Hitch kit. With the powerful Kawasaki engine, along with the hitch kit, I have pulled a 48" poly Yard Roller filled with water (up and down the hill), a 42" Thatcher and 42" Aerator.

I also purchased a pull-behind spreader (best decision I made after the mower and hitch), as well as an 8 cubic ft poly utility trailer. This mower does it all for what I need.

Oil change is very easy for the most basic do-it-yourselfer.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I highly recommend this model and mower to anyone. Toro hit a homerun with this one.

Hope this helps and enjoy.
