Q: Can you get a bigger bagger or some kind of power vac for the timecutter SS4250. I live in a woods and use a pull behind now. I was hoping to get a zero turn mower with a larger vac by Mike Ridgway from Indiana on July 24, 2015
A: Mike - sorry, but there is neither a larger capacity bagger nor a power assisted blower available for any of the Toro TimeCutter series zero turn mowers. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Several of the Toro Zero Turn mowers have 23 or 24HP engines. That seems very high for a riding mower - more like a Kubota (or similar) tractor. Are these suitable for towing big loads or adding attachments? Is there a PTO? by Kyle from Connecticut on May 20, 2015
A: Kyle - the Toro TimeCutter zero turn mowers are not designed to tow heavy loads. Towing capacity will vary by model, but for the most part, these mowers will not tow more than about 200 to 250 lbs total payload. And none of the zero turns that we sell have a PTO that would power any sort of attachment. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: HOW HARD IS IT TO CHANGE THE OIL? by Ed Mclain from Ohio on May 12, 2015
A: Ed - The new Toro V-Twin engine on this mower allows for tool-free oil changes with less mess, so you don't have to be a mechanic to keep on top of your own maintenance. All you have to do is pull the long drain hose out of its holder to let the oil drain, then replace it when you're finished. Tools aren't necessary! The length of the drain hose helps make for less mess, allowing you to aim where you want the used oil to go. by Jose, Product Expert

Nice Upgrade And Fun
I upgraded after years of a John Deere tractor. The purchase was great. Delivery took two days longer but not an issue except delaying my excitement. Took only minutes to hook up battery and connect the lap bars. Getting it off the pallet was easy enough as you turn the front and lift up on rear and it slide off.
It does take time to get use to making turns as it is faster by far.
Going around Mulch area it hard but I need to cut an edge and then it will be easier. Actually better on slight slopes than I thought. I got the bagger Instructions where easy to follow putting on the 3 pieces(bracket,weights, bags) and took about 45 minutes.
After practice, I have now cut the lawn twice, and I'm smiling all the time.

Much Needed
I have 1.5 acres with the front yard being on a pretty severe grade. The ZT mower allows me to cut at an angle or side to side with little to no slipping, although it is not recommended from the manufacturer.
Good build and easy to maintain. Worth the extra money from the 4200 or 4235 to have the bigger back, hour meter as well as the stronger engine.

A Gift Of Love For Father's Day June 20, 2015
My John Deere is 20 years old and is very slow by today's standards and the plastic hood is only a memory and replacing it is expensive to boot. My princess of many years made the John Deere sitting in the shed a reality by the purchase of the Toro Zero Turn machine. Instead of three hours of mowing a flat hour is the improvement. Thus more time to enjoy the weekend. Today it was more fun than work to cut the grass. I don't care if it uses more gas because it takes less time and does a hell of a lot better job . Love that Kohler 22 hp v-twin.

"Great except Hour meter that was installed by Toro dose not work,and they will do nothing...
Take it to a authorized dealer,which is 50 miles away with not way to transport it.Very dissatisfied"
We've had a zero turn Toro mower for over 7 years and had very little trouble with it and i worked it really hard at times. We have 2 acres that we mow and it has a lot of hours on it. We decided to buy another one because this one was getting old. We gave it to our son and bought a new one from mowers direct.
I couldn't believe how fast we got it.in 5 days I had my mower. I checked with other dealers and it was going to take me 3-4 weeks to get one. i love this one just as much as my first one. I highly recommend going through Mowers Direct for your next mower.

Not So Great
Purchased the Time Cutter 4250 with a mulching deck on 10/17/15. The hour meter was not connected and it did not track. The dealer corrected both problems. The battery died on 11/11/15 (tested as a weak battery).
The dealer provided a new battery. Would not start on 11/12/15, had to deliver to the dealer for warranty work. The dealer has not yet determined the problem.
This mower has many nice features and appears to be very sturdy. It mows very fast and mulches very well. I am, however, disappointed with reliability. Additionally, it is very hard to start.

Needs Warranty Work.
Mowers Direct has this mower at a great price. Shipped on time, and the freight carrier was great.
Once I got it unloaded, I followed the instructions to get the mower set up out of the crate. It really isn't to bad. Checked oil, added fresh gas. The Mower would not start. This ended up being a dead battery, so I installed a trickle charger. I started the mower up two times after, just to have it run. It took forever to start, and ran very rough. On the third time, it doesn't even turn over. I have yet to use this mower, and It will now longer start.
I contacted MD, and they forwarded me to Toro's customer service. Pretty much everything is automated and generic from Toro, and they essentially tells you to take it to a dealer for service.
I'm sure I will love this mower once I get it functioning, but my first impression is not very good. I received a bad unit, and CS from Toro is missing. We will wait to see how the warranty work goes.

New Toro
Really like the new mower but it came with a right rear flat tire. I have to keep putting air in it every couple days. I am thinking it is a problem with the wheel and not the tire itself. Also, the hour meter is not working. Other that that the mower seems to perform great.
