Average Rating: 5.0 of 5.0 Mowers Direct Recommendation By Mowers Direct   Toro offers several versions of the TimeCutter zero turn lawn mower. Basically, the smaller 42" version is better suited for smaller yards with more obstacles. Since it's narrower than the 50" version, it also performs better on hilly surfaces. If you need to mow a football field instead, the Toro TimeCutter 50" zero turn is a better option. It features three blades -- instead of two -- allowing you to cut a wider swath of grass in less time. The video does a good job explaining the difference between the two. Written May 23, 2009 Grass Eating Machine By Gerry Bedore Jr from (Winder, GA) I got my Z5030 50" mower last week. I now have my 38" tractor mower on the curb, for sale. My lawn is over 2 acres and the Z5030 made grass cutting fun again. It is fast, turns easy, and makes cutting heavy grass a joke. It cut my mowing time by 23's. My neighbor wants to run it on his yard next week. I told him to go for it but beware, you make never want to run your tractor mower again. The Toro is a Grass Eating Machine. It is a blast to cut the lawn. 30 minutes on a Z5030 and life is good! :-) Thx, Dr. G Written April 04, 2009 A Zero Turn Really Is A Time Saver By Fred Fowler from (Pleasanton, TX) I purchased my Toro Z5030 on 31 March 2009. It came off the delivery truck, we put some gas in the tank' and away I went. It took a little over 45 minutes to cut my acre and a quarter lot. It would have taken 2 1/2 hours with my dead John Deere riding mower. With a little practice at a much slower speed, I learned how to drive the Z5030. I guess I was operating at approximately 12 speed for 15 minutes and then I opened up the throttle and was cutting my lot PDQ!!! I haven't had my new zero turn for long, however, it's one fine machine!
