Timemaster still hanging in there💪🏽I like how you swapped out the pulleys. The tips were awesome finds

I’m starting up my own solo residential lawn care business and all I need is a good push mower. After watching your tips and tricks I can honestly say I’m getting this mower today. Most videos on KZfaq you won’t find in depth reviews on a mower like you. Appreciate it

Your video is very educational. I'm a very handy man and maintenance of my mower myself is definitely the go to. I don't buy warranty in most cases. Thanks for showing the way and how to do it.

I love the way mine mulches and bags.

Best video on KZfaq for timemaster, by far.. thanks.

Great video, didn't know about the commercial grade spindles.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video

Thank you Sir for this video and all of the tips! Much appreciated

Great Video, thanks for the tips.

Another great review of an OPE product!

I just picked one up today .. Great video 👍🏼🇺🇸

Very good video extremely informative!!! I'm looking at buying one of these for residential use only. I normally cut twice a week Turf type tall fescue at 4". You just got a new sub. Thanks

Brilliant upgrade moving the position of the pull start.

Thank you for the fantastic review. I mow 10 lawns on weekends as a part time job. I'm currently using a commercial Toro 21". I've debated getting the Timemaster but I'm not sure after watching your video. It seems like the Timemaster can save you upwards of 40% of your time on a lawn. Typically, it takes me 30 minutes just to do the mowing portion of my client's lawns. Trimming and blowing are extra. Theoretically, I could save 40% of the time with The Timemaster and bring it down to 12 minutes per lawn savings in time. Over 10 lawns, that would be 120 minutes or 2 hours. That's pretty good but now I have to consider the fact that most people have stated that the Timemaster doesn't do well in thick wet grass which is what I often encounter, especially in the spring. There also appears to be increased maintenance over the 21" commercial, less durable parts, higher fuel consumption, smaller fuel tank requiring more refills than the large 3.8 litre tank on my Toro, and less reliability compared to the commercial 21". Now, that time savings seems to quite a bit less than advertised by Toro. For these reasons, I've stuck with my commercial 21" units for now. What's really perplexing to me is the fact that Toro introduced this model in 2012. 10 years later, many of the reliability and performance issues are still there. Seems as with most large corporations, the focus in on profits and making disposable items instead of quality.

New Subscriber! Awesome Video! We are big fans of the timemaster. We run them until the wheels fall off Twice! Literally! Try to get 500 hours run time before purchasing a new one.

Thanks for this review. 😊

Nice job!

Thank for the video I did those adjustments to mines that you suggested.

Just bought a new Timemaster… love it with one exception. I am having an issue with the real wheel adjuster popping out of the setting and dropping the deck to the f setting. Any suggestions?

Awesome video, now you got me thinking 🤔

Thank-you so much.

Good Video, Love The Colors Of This Machine ( Very Nice ) You Can Use A Old Stocking As A Pre- Filter For The Air cleaner. Tip For Everyone, If You Are Blowing The Air Filters Out Never Blow The Air filters from The Outside in, Because You Are Blowing Micro Particals Of Dust Into The Filter, Always Blow Outwards From The Centre Of The Air Filter OUT.

what a great review

Awesome video. I love the TimeMaster I used it for two years on 20 yards a week and luckily never had a belt break yet knock on wood 😂😂😂

Thanks for the maintenance tips. Great vid.

Great video to make your own repairs

Do you have a link for the upgraded pulleys?

Thank you man, absolutely terrific video, I'm gonna incorporate your suggestions with rotating the rope pull, installing commercial spindles and taping the blade activator. Two questions for you that you didn't touch on in the video: The flippy floppy debris guard, what have you done with that? In two months of fairly light commercial use, I've already gone through two. About ready to take it off and leave it off. Then for cleaning, by far the biggest pain in the ass area for me, is in the nooks and crannies inside of the rear height depths..do you just let those clippings build up?

Long Time Timemaster owner with a few repairs as well under the belt! I had the 190cc Motor and I just swapped in a 223cc Motor and what an improvement! Turfmaster Pulleys are a must! Every year I find myself replacing the blade timing belt. How often do you adjust yours? TORO BLADES SUCK! I run Gator Blades but Ballard finally came out with blades. I just installed the Rippers and VERY HAPPY! Nothing cuts and stripes better!

you did a nice job on the vid

Brilliant thank you for thinking of buying this for commercial use instead of a ride on any advice welcome 😁

Great video man appreciate it

Good video ,I just have it ,thank you

Where the front wheel adjustment wears you should put some kind of grease or quality dry lube it will slow down the wear a lot. Love your videos

good video for sure. do you have a link for the pulley you swapped out on your old one?

Great video. From factory, are there any changes to the 2022 model vs older?

Had water in my fuel one morning on startup. Managed to get the float bowl off, emptied out and put back on with just my pliers for snipper cord. 3minutes and we were going. Come to think of it I better go check that it's tight.

Do you have any issues using this for commercial use?

Where do find those comercial pulleys ?

I find it amazing that you can get away with changing the oil only once a year ! ...I generally do it every week . If they guess I may be overdoing it a bit ? Your videos are very helpful . I'm buying one tomorrow

Cool video.is there an oil filter? Ive owned a half a dozen turfmasters.im thinking about switching to these.have you used the turfmasters at all?

Where do you find those pulleys? Do you have a link?

Can you replace the muffler? Thank you?

Nice. I just picked mine up. Our serial numbers are only 21 units.

Great review. When I get the $ im getting this mower

It's too bad the price went up 300 bucks. I still have mine from 2015.

Also, I’m surprised you don’t swap out the gas tank for a bigger one like I see I many other videos.

🔥

How about draining the oil? Terrific video. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic video. After all the scary videos on these I was hesitant, now I feel more confident. I just wonder why, if you’re cutting that many lawns, you don’t buy the commercial version?

Are these decks made any better than the ones on the 21 inch unit? Mine rusted through so I am thinking if I get this mower, I will put an extra clear coat on top and rhino line underneath. Thoughts?

I watched too many video, but no one go to detail like you bro, love it your video I'm looking my self lawn mover which one best Toro or Honda..? 30 inch

Toro Timemaster or Honda HRX217HYA? I have a 5,317 SF yard. Mowing thick Bermuda in Oklahoma.

I'm new to the channel

Do you have to cut your grass year round in Oregon?

I've tried taken that sponge out and it kills after 10 mins of pushing. Looked and noticed the fuel filter was empty so I put blue sponge back in and don't have that problem. But I did cut the heck out of it. But you do get vapor lock without the blue in there. Don't know why but that's how my timemaster does me when I take it out. Sucks

Do you recommend using the time master as a commercial lawn mower??

Hell yeah you chop it cut it mulch it.

Are there no grease fittings?

where is the oil filter and what type is it?

Have you ever had to replace a transmission?

I watched the whole thing. And I don't even have a lawn !

I have this same mower it’s over a year old and nothing but issues belt pulley have broken cable ingaugement has broken the engine is very under powered if the grass is a little tall and wet she can’t handle it my Honda HRX217 is 6 years old and it can handle wet grass tall grass with no issues at all and the only issue this Honda has given me after 5 years of commercial use was the transmission that had to be replaced that is it now she is back in my truck and I’m selling the Timemaster 30 was very happy with it the first few months until problems started happening and I’m not confident with this mower like my HRX217 that has been extremely reliable.

This is a hard comparison they did do alot of upgrades in the 2 years. The commercial unit has upgraded pullys belts and so on

The only time I use my time master is on ditches…. I use scags for everything

Why take out the sponge? The manual specifically states to not remove it.

Before mowing wet grass spray your deck with wd 40. It will help wet grass dissipate faster. If you are trying to mulch tall wet grass instead of side discharge then all you are doing is plugging the deck taking away its efficiency.

Looking for a back yard and small yard mowers I guess I found it

Hey I need that discharge chute if you aren't going to use it lol

They don't make a timemaster commercial, they do make a commercial 30 inch that isn't a personal pace and has a 1 gallon tank. If they did make a commercial version identical to the residential it isn't sold everywhere but I don't believe they do make one. The only difference between the new version and the older version is the older has a 196cc engine while the new version has the 223cc engine. Also the belt spindles hasn't changed. I don't believe that taking the sponge out will void the warranty, it's main use is just to make it easier to not over fill your gas tank. 3 things the sponge will cause issues. 1. Water and moisture if your tank is below half. 2. Overtime the sponge will begin to deteriorate and clog your gas tank and carburetor. 3. Reduce your gas volume .

Why do you use this mower for commercial use and not the commercial version toro turf master?

2 years old? Was it used 24/7/365? Looks like 20 years old. Rode hard and put up wet.

I don't think I'm cleaning mower decks this year. I'm going to use pam. So if folks smell me cooking grass they will know what's up. I'm going to be smarter than the mower this season.😁

My dealer told me Change every 50 hrs

Well dirt is pretty expensive these days.

I would already replace those cheap residential pulleys with commercial grade

【from HIPA】Would you like to test my parts for your equipment?thank you.

Bruce want free lawn mower bagger fixed it

I wonder how much money you have made with that old toro.

Engine oli

The sponge is there for a reason. The engineer designed it for a purpose. Research it. Why take it out ?

Bru

Didn’t want to hear about taking it apart and stuff, just how it works!

those mowers are crap..

My 2014 model toro timemaster has been nothing but problems. Vapor locks every 15 mins. Have to spray carb and fuel lines with cold water to get it to restart. No ethanol fuel ever.
