Average Rating: 4.0 of 5.0 Written October 26, 2009 Very satisfied By John from (Fort Walton Beach, FL) I have had my Toro Z4200 since April 09 and have been more than satisfied. This machine has worked better than I expected, considering I gave up my lawn service guy and do it myself now in the Florida humidity. I have less than half an acre with a lot of trees and this machine is very agile. The recycle kit (mulching kit) is great. Take your time and there's no need for a second pass- it beats bagging or side discharge. I can't think of anything I don't like about this Toro after using it for 7 months. Now you have to make an excuse to go mow the lawn. Written September 12, 2009 Great Zero Turn By csxhogger@msn.com Alexander Herring from (Palm Harbor, FL) I purchased the Toro Zero turn Z4200 in June 2009. I had tried an Ariens Zoom 38" Zero turn but was not satisfied with it- it just did not have enough oomph on hilly terrain. It handles my hilly terrain without a whimper of engine strain. I did have a low battery when I got it, and I had to recharge it to get it going; but since then I have not had a problem. Man, once I got used to it, this baby cuts my yard SO fast. Now I do not cut as fast so I can enjoy the machine- Arr-Arrrr! I love my Z4200- so far so good! Written July 25, 2009 Nice Mower By Harold Cutlip from (Bluefield, WV) I purchased one of these mowers and it has done a great job on my lawn. Others may have had their problems- but none here, just a good cutting mower. Written June 10, 2009 Darn thing won't start By Victor Hansford from (Cedaredge, CO) I received a brand new Z4200 on May 21st from Home Depot. It wouldn't start. I hooked a battery charger to it, and after charging for a couple hours, I got it started, and mowed with it for approximately 2 hours. It worked fine. 2 days ago, I tried starting it again. No go. I hear a relay click, but the motor won't turn over. While troubleshooting, I found battery acid everywhere! There was lots of corrosion. The brand new battery apparently has a crack, and was leaking acid. I cleaned everything up with baking soda and water, and got a new battery from Walmart. Guess what - click - it still won't turn over. GRRR. So, I called Toro. They said - take it to nearest authorized repair shop. That's 65 miles from me!! But I called the repair shop - they said they're hopelessly backed up - and IF they took it (which they won't), I wouldn't expect to see it for at least 2 months! And, they said they don't do warranty work - especially since it was purchased at Home Depot. So I called Home Depot, where it was purchased. The Garden dept manager was SUPER!! He said bring it back, he'd give me a brand new one. Yesterday I took it to Home Depot, and as expected, he gave me a no-hassle exchange of a brand new one from the floor. I took it home, and tried it out. Guess What!! Click - won't turn over. So I put a battery charger on it overnite - and tried it again today. CLICK - won't turn over!! ARGHH!!! What now??? For my money, this brand new Z4200 is worthless!! MD RESPONDS: For warranty assistance, please contact Toro directly at 800-348-2424; or select the Contact tab at www.toro.com. Written June 03, 2009 PTO switch (to engage blade). By dalton pierce from (Thomasville, NC) I purchased this mower last September at Home Depot. I had used it a total of about 7 hours and mowed the yard 4 times when the blades quit engaging when I pulled PTO switch. I called Home Depot and their solution was to bring it to them and they would send it back to the factory, sorta like it was a toaster. They said would take about a month. Since this was definitely not acceptable I called the factory and they gave me the name of some local dealers that may, or may not, do warranty service work. I finally found one that would do the work but it would be at least 2 to3 weeks. Now I have to hire someone to mow my yard with a practically new $2500.00 mower sitting in the repair shop. Needless to say I am not exactly satisfied with the performance or the service of my Toro Z4200 when I see my neighbors $800.00 Murray working fine. Written May 02, 2009 Awesome Mower By Brent Gentry from (Carterville, IL) I have severe allergies and have taken shots for a long time- I have not mowed in almost 20 years. I found a mask that would allow me to work outside, so decided I wanted to buy a mower. I went on Consumer Reports and saw this model had a very high rating. All you are getting with a John Deere is green paint and the name. This mower was less money and there is really nothing complicated about it once you learn to drive a zero turn. If I can do it anyone can! I would not know how to run any other mower after this one. I am thinking about going out to try to trade this one in for a 50 " cut this week. I like it so much I want to mow the fields beside me as well. I HIGHLY recommend it!
