I think we all appreciate the upfrontness about being compensated for this review. Also I think it speaks volumes that a company as big and well established as Toro values Taryl's input enough to through him some money for his very well informed opinion. I hope 2020 has good things in store for Taryl and the gang! Great job as always!

This is the BEST Riding Mower review that I have EVER seen!!! You did an OUTSTANDING job on giving us the information that really matters BEFORE we spend our hard earned money on a unit. Thanks so much! I love your channel, but now I love it even more.

This...is exactly how a product review should be. Folks actually get to see the machine in use. The strong points....well, sorta strong points...were pointed out and the negatives were revealed as well. I wouldn't buy one of them...but a lot of folks probably will. To me, it's neither fish nor fowl. It's obviously not a commercial machine as pointed out, nor is it a tin can sold at Walmart. You did a fine job Taryl. Toro ought to give you a contract and a mower! The hat and bumper sticker ain't enough!

I've had a 42 in. toro z turn now for about 7 yrs ( time cutter ) and have had zero problems with the machine, so I gave it to my daughter and now I am waiting on delivery of this new 42 in My Ride mower. Purchase price $3500. Thanks Taryl for a great video.

I bought a Z turn Toro in 2004. It is still running. Gave to my nephew and he flogged it, did $300 work on it, and he gave it to a small church. I think it is good for a few more years. Like tractors, the suspension is in the seat on that one...I like that.

I bought one, and you're 100% correct. The deck belt is crap and burned out in one season. I bought an aftermarket 5/8" replacement that fits perfectly and is a huge improvement. Outside of that, it's been a solid mower on my acre lot.

Thank you for being honest about the sponsored review by Toro. I wish all KZfaqrs were so forthcoming.

I've had just about every brand mower there is & so far I'm happiest with my Toro.

Just bought the same 50” model after seeing this video & others. Love it! Thx for your videos!

Glad to hear you’re comments on their engine love my toro very good mower for the money but haven’t heard anything about their engine thanks

I have the older version of this mower. It features a cracked engine block, a massive oil leak (has a 2 foot diameter puddle in its parking spot), a fuel leak that drips on the muffler, a dead charging system, and a flat front tire that makes it bounce up and down when you mow... Somehow it's still running, and I cut 5 acres of field with it all the time. It's a trooper!

Happy New Year Taryl probably one of the best not commercial mowers out there Happy New Year to your son and slippers for me take care buddy

Great review and constructive criticism, and good to know about the tough motor. Would like to see more of this👍

Great review. My husband always has loved Toro and we found this one and we’re debating on getting it but after this review I think it’s a ✅.

Happy New year to the Taryl clan. Thank you for letting us know that Toro sponsored the video.

Looks like a nice machine. Thanks for the review,Taryl. Happy new year. Tell Jr and slippers too.,

Thanks Taryl for sharing your demo ...

That is a nice zero turn mower. Love the channel Taryl. Great Video.

I got one last spring a 2019 SS4200, I really like it, I use the mulching function when I mow. The Smart Speed is great, how it works is when you push the bars all the way forward the max speed is determined by the Smart Speed setting. On mine the three speeds are Trim (slowest) Tow (middle) and Cut (fast) The middle speed is recommended when you're mulching, fast is for side discharge.

Thanks, Taryl for the review, I looked at this same mower at Tractor Supply here in Texas and sat on that ride system and wondered about its quality. Your review is great. I have a 2006 Toro 50 in Timesaver, looking to upgrade.

I have a 2023 non my ride & I really like it! Excellent cut and discharge.

Hi Taryl, Great vid as always. I have been using a Dixon 17 38 (17.5 HP 38” cut “tractor type) It’s a residential mower but I have been using it for lawn maintenance. It’s recently passed 950 hours of use, yes it has the issues you have been pointing out (Krohler engine) it looks it’s age but it has been a good mower. Here in Australia people like their lawn cut low unlike in US I found the height settings a lot ( with only 6 ) options so I drilled and ground out extra height notches to give me 11 different settings. It looks a bit like your teeth😝 but it has helped me a lot. Hey, 900+hrs for residential mower, not bad.! “There’s ma dinner!!!” Ian.

Great review, Cuz! Looks like Toro has stepped up their game and you know what that means, don't ya? All the other manufacturers will be coming out with something new to attract buyers. I love it when the manufacturers are at war with each other because the consumer is the winner. I'm looking forward to what 2020 has to offer in the way of improvements to outdoor power equipment. Happy New Year to all. JJD

That is a sweet home mower, always liked Toro and this one looks like a winner. It looks very user friendly. Nice Review Taryl.

Taryl, Awesome job I learned a ton from your review. Thanks for putting a fun spin on it. You are the man....

I bought a Toro MX 5075 last year. I love it. Good power, great ride. I had the shop put on a mulch kit this fall. My dealer matched the Home Depot price and delivered it as well.

First I’ll mention I value a mechanic’s review above some salesman that never turned a wrench. It would be interesting to follow up on how long the 1/2” belt served you as well as the no-grease spindles. I liked engine accessibility as you pointed out and the though oil changes never are much of a problem the quick change feature was unique and well over due. Always nice to see rear mounted carbs. that don’t require needless time to remove. Good to see R.O.P. as an option because in our part of the country consumers leave them folded down as you couldn’t roll one if you tried. Great dinner Taryl, thanks

Great video! You went over everything! I agree with your conclusions...would you install grease zerks, if you owned one?

Great video, Happy New Year

I have the same exact model. BEAST OF A MACHINE!

That Toro brand engine looks pretty nice. I like the quick oil change idea.

Thank you so much Taryl !!! Great review Taryl !!!

Thanks for your continued info! I have a 2019 52"r. Been a good one for me.

I like the belt access covers. My John Deere would fill with leaves on every use. I had to take a leaf blower to it after use. I would spend a fair amount of time changing angles trying to get the debris out of it. A friend of mine melted his cover on a Craftsman. He let the material build up and didn’t clean it and a fire started due to belt friction.

Love the added spring ride, driving on a yard with mole trails make the yards bumpy and bounces around with normal mower. Love the spring action saves on the back. Rich mowers and blowers outdone.

Very Nice video Taryl!!! Lovin your vids...

Nice review as always you do a great job ! The wife loves this mower as do I with the my ride, I call it the Rockin chair mower lol! btw those grease fittins are called zerks!(pretty close to jerks just need to come up with a better off name for em myself). Zerks were invented in Kenosha Wisconsin by a poor fella named Oscar U Zerk! Wikipedia has a good write-up about em. Keep up the good work Taryl, watching your channel always makes me laugh, sometimes the wife laughs too!.Whoooo-Hoooo

I was looking at TORO ZTR mowers a couple of years ago. Almost bought the "My Ride" 50"....but at $3200 plus tax....I decided on the SS5000 Timecutter. Same mower without the "My Ride" system. Paid $2750 plus tax for it. Going into the 3rd season with it. Only problems I've had was 1 deck belt last year, and a couple of flat tires from mesquite thorns. I put "Slime" in all 4 tires and it's been going since. Oil and filter change takes about 5 minutes with the drain setup on the engine. The oil filter is the same filter used on several Toyota cars so it's cheap and readily available. I use WIX filters on it, they cost about $7 at NAPA. Oh, the belt was available at Home Depot...cost...$21 and change. I can't argue with the quality...it's the best mower I've ever bought!

Nice machine and a well balanced review. I think they should have made the my ride platform either a darker gray or black. I’m sure it’s pricey but you get what you pay for. Wishing a Happy/Healthy New Year to you and your crew.

Oh yea I love toro I got a toro grandstand and a 21” toro self perpelled and I love them !!

Another Great Video, Toro Has Come Out With Some Great Ideas There. Very Functional Ideas. I Like The My Ride System, Nice and Comfy 😉Just Like a Arm chair , Great Feature. However I Agree With You On not Having Grease Points On Certain Parts. Very Nice Looking Mower And The Engine Was STRONG. I Didn't Hear The Revs Change Very Much When You Lowered The Mower and Cutting through The Leaves. I Hate Getting Bounced Around On The Older Style Mowers, No Good If You Have a Bad Back Like Myself. Wish I Had One of These BEAUTIES . 👍👍👍👍👍 To TORO For Innovation

best mower review. Happy New Year.

Great review thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🇦🇺🚜

As usual Taryl you explain the task at hand to near perfection. That was a great video. I love Toro mowers. I have owned 3 over the 55 years I have been cutting my lawn. The only reason I bought new ones is for newer features. Mine have been tanks - all I did was run good gas in them, keep the oil clean, the air filters changed regularly and the blades new/sharpened. I also kept them under a shed. I know you are a man who gives an honest highly experienced opinion. Toro was smart to think of you to review this mower. Now on another note I hope you and the boys (young men now) had a great Christmas and new year. I am looking forward to more videos in 2020. (we are already 20 years into the new century how time RACES along) I along with thousands I believe are thoroughly entertained by y'alls videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Sincerely. LC

As always another great video! Thank you!

I have a toro 522xi with a 60 inch deck & 22 horsepower kohler command. One of the best mowers I've ever had.

If I was looking for a mower, this unit looks great!

Helpful review Taryl. Happy New Year grass rats.

I have the my ride 42” mower with mulch kit and it’s 2 years old now . I had one problem with front wheel grease fitting that was stripped out . I popped off the wheel , brought it in , and it was fixed under warranty . I previously had a 54”cub cadet mower that was too big for my property ,and it would get stuck in the culvert if you weren’t careful. It takes less time to cut the lawn with the Toro simply because it is more maneuverable.

Happy NewYear. I agree on your likes and dislikes. It’s nice having a better deck but skimping on non greasable spindles and smaller belt. I’ve worked on residential models being used commercially. I guess that’s why their cheaper. Excellent video

Happy New year Dr taryl!! Can't wait to see you back in 2020!! Hope your well!! Glad to see your still helping people!! Thank you sir!!

Got mine a week ago and couldn’t be more impressed. Well, I could be… the knob on the MyRide lever came off on the first use and the key fell out on the second use. Lever knob was just shoddy servicing at dealer, but the key should NOT be able to fall out while riding. Other than that, super mower.

My 54" is coming Wednesday with the Toro engine. I found it hard to beat the features for the money. The accessibility to maintenance areas is impressive. A mower designed for the user and not just the assembly line.

Bought same mower this season love it.i wash and wax and blow of air filter and box after every use changed oil after 4th use because it's new its breaking in .wish it had grease fittings

That deck cut-out for the bagger looks like it turned the mower deck into a serious ankle chopper. Most folks I know ditch that chute as soon as they get the mower so it fits on trailers and through the garage door better.

When you showed the blades, I was surprised the spindle holes weren’t keyed... I’m assuming that the torquing of the spindle nut keeps them from spinning?

Just bought a Ferris 3300 with suspension on each wheel plus suspension seat. The deck adjusts to the bumps so the cut is flat. My kubota was trusty for 12 years on my 5 acres but I just had a fusion of two discs in my back earlier this year. It was time to treat myself to a better ride. The Ferris is amazing so far. Night and day difference.

Taryl, very good review nice mower I really like it. I plan to purchase a residential zero turn. Since it is such a big investment could you provide some advice on which zero turn you would recommend. I'm cutting approximately 2 uneven acres with a good amount of surface tree roots. Thank you

Can you do a review on the 2020 toro titan residential? Just curious if they have serviceable hydros or sealed

Taryl, I liked the review. It is nice to see the equipment up close and also a review made by someone who services equipment. It was good to hear something on Toro's new engine. I was curious as to whether the new Toro engine will be comparable to the old Suzuki. Also your video shows people why it may be wise to spend a little more on something like a Toro when it comes to buying lawn equipment.

wow like the comment s on the toro hahhaha ... happy new year taryl and all .. †

Hey taryl I was wondering could u do something on how to stop a zero turn from creeping foward. When U start it up and with out being on the mower? And also could u also how to get the lap bars even with each other ty Johnny😁

I've seen these come up at auction fairly inexpensive compared to new. I've never owned or worked on one. Great review!

Good show joe ,thanks

Cool, Great review, thank you big help.

If I had the means, I would buy one of them and upgrade the belt/pulleys to 5/8". Yes, zerks are a must. HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody.

Happy New Year!Will water collect/bottom mower/blower gas tank even w/used all year?I use Stabil/at least 89 octane gas,upstate N.Y.thanks.

Toro always made good stuff. I got a ground master 223 diesil love it.

Thank you for a awesome review. I'm considering a Timecutter model 75742 with a 42" deck. Any thoughts? Thank.

Looks like a nice mower.... I do appreciate your integrity, and disclosure that this is a compensated review. Still pretty honest though.... If you want some cold hard truth, the average homeowner is never greasing it anyways, so they may as well skip it.... I also really like that the oil change was simple.... It was like, designed, so that someone could change the oil. that's a real pet peeve of mine, when it's super hard to do routine maintenance.... Now, full disclosure, my sister's husband's younger brother, works at Toro in Minnesota. Some of the stuff he has brought over, for them to play with, is really cool. Some of their "homeowner" stuff, feels like entry-level commercial to me... It's not a joke. It's pretty legit.... And you figure, these are demo units, that people are beating on at shows & stuff.... and they seem really nice. Anyways, nice job...

Great review. In Australia, anybody who is serious about cutting grass be it turf farms, sports fields or golf courses use Toro. Cheers

If I had a big lawn I would look at buying one , I do like Toro product my snowblower is 15 years old and never let me down

Love the suspension

What a treat a Taryl video on New Years Day! Getting my dinner early!

DANG ! A great review

Just bought one of these. No my ride, it’s a 50” with Kawasaki engine. I gotta say I am impressed with the side discharge. I was cutting long wet thick grass and it didn’t clog. I’ve used commercial mowers that clog way easier. I think that notch in the top really helps.

Happy New Year - here's you supper. LOL 😆

The only problem I had with my toro timecutter was th3 battery died. I found the battery bolts were installed backwards and not making good contact with the leads and not charging the battery. Thank God taryl told us to never jump start a mower with a electronic blade clutch

Nice thanks man I was trying to decide between this Mower and a Gravely zero-turn and was looking at Bad Boy Mowers think the Toro is going to be what I get if you think I shouldn't let me know

Greasing the front end should be a must have, especially in aluminium. And changing the oil in the hydro units is important.

At work we have the 2015 Toro Timecutter SWX5050 zero turn with the steering wheel. Haven't had any engine problems and it has the same 24.5 hp unit as this one which after doing some research I discovered it's a chinese made Loncin engine. I too wish there were more greaseable parts and the manual steering is difficult but doable...most our problems have been with the deck bouncing off the hangers which we rigged to not happen again and most recently the bar that the deck hangs from somehow popped out of it's holding block on the left side allowing the left side to drop lower and make it rub the frame preventing raising the deck. We got it back in place again. My coworkers say if it catches on fire, don't put it out just run away! This version looks nice though.

Wide open and full speed love it lol

-even if it had grease fittings, most of them wouldn't get grease

I think the spindles have sealed ball bearings. Looks very similar to the zero turn cub cadet.

Happy New year 🎉 taryl Love you new lawn mower How many horsepower the engines have

Last year I bought a new 22 inch TORO with the push assist feature. It was to make my life easier maintaining 1 acre home. I liked the fold and store feature a lot. The finish is very good. Not so fond of the personal pace locking up so to move it you have to start the motor or flat spot the tires dragging it. The blade sits low in the deck and sprays debries ( small rocks /grit ) accross the yard. The air filter is placed so it is exposed to all the grit and clogges up quickly. Toro chose not to opt for the fifteen cent foam outer filter so the paper filter was cloggrd and a poor fit so it sucked grit into the NEW MOTOR. The spark plug loosened in the first hour. Just an awfull mower experience. So now you have a Toro mower that seems kinda nice with the fabbed deck and suspended seat. Wanna trade in ?

I’ve tried my neighbors TORO TIMECUTTER and I really liked it

Good review, how does the timekeeper differ from the titan

I like the my ride suspension in my opinion probably the best thing about the whole mower

I have a Toro Time-cutter 5000 - 2009 and love it ! I see the battery is relocated , mine is hard to get to ! Can the new deck be used on my machine ? And the ride system , will that fit my machine ? I have the bagger and counter weights and I understand they make a snow plow for it also ! When I buy a new mower it WILL be a TORO !

Does the the rear wheels (rear axle) now have bearings. Toro used to just have bushing for the rear wheels/axle.?

that soft cushy rides nice...looks like a well made mower..

Do you have a video to adjust the tracking on the 2020 toro zero turn? Mine goes to the left as soon as I disengage the parking brake

Had a 42 timecutter that turned out to be an awesome machine I gave $400 for it, was used commercially and had a hard starting "problem" , their "mechanic" replaced the starter and solenoid and battery lol I adjusted the valves in about 15 minutes and changed the oil and blades and voila, fixed! Lol Never had a single issue with it and I learned to buy the right size mower, it was easy to mow ditches with but my parents hustler commercial 54 was too big to do some ditches

I have the 54” after my Deere died horrifically cutting 6’ grass. The time cutter is a beast never loses power even on high cuts. The my ride makes it so my multi hour cuts 8acrs don’t have my back hurting like the jd. only problem I have with the system is your so separated from the mower you can get the front off the ground when doing steeper slopes with out relishing it

Wish they ran a serviceable transmission. I’m fine with no zerks, as long as they designed it with sealed bearings that are common and can be replaced with standard tools.

I have a roughly 2008 34" timecutter with the grenade like kohler courage. That $110 parking brake safety thing that is built to fail (holds water and electricaly rots away if it ever gets wet) is unfortunately bypassed but everything else is good.

I thought that was a great review Taryl. I like that you went to features that really make a difference to me when deciding on a mower. If you noticed that the Kawie engine on the JD x350 has 18.5 Horsepower, but the transmission transmits 25% more power than the the ones on lower models that JD sells. Would that compensate for the lack of engine power when compared to the Toro in this review? I like the space around the engine for maintenance and moving the My Ride comfortability adjuster to the side instead of having it behind the seat as they did in last year's models, though it is fun hopping off and on the mower quickly just to be doing more than just sitting on the mower. However, I cut thicker and taller grass and much steeper hills than you did in your demonstrations. I would like to see you test the Toro you showed us in this video to see how hot the Toro engine runs after running full throttle in those conditions, you know, tall thick grass and steep hills. Thanks again for your review and as you say, "There's your dinner!"

I absolutely love my Toro.Easy ride 50 inch cut mower.This is the start of my second year. I DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH MY MOWER ON MY 1ST YEAR WHAT SO EVER . the 1st cuts of 2nd year/ The mower Started up with no Problem. LUV IT, LUV IT, LUV IT!!!! MY KNEES ARE HURTING AND THIS IS AS FUN AS RIDING THE BUMPER CARS AT THE AMUSEMENT PARK. I SPRAY PAINTED THE BLACK PART ON THE SEAT -WHITE / AND ON MY TRAILER/ BECAUSE BLACK IS TO HOT IN 100* HEAT. I MADE A BIGGER TOW BRACKET ON BACK,AND ON MY TRAILER/ IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS MY MOWER IS SECURED TO MY TRAILER/ I ALSO MADE A BRACKET ON MY TRAILER THAT IS 2' WIDE with 15 HOLES EVENLY STAGGERED N SPACED/ DROP N MY PIN N I'M GONE/ ALSO HAVE 2 X 6 IN FRONT N BACK OF THE BACK WHEELS ( KIND OF IN THE GROOVE) ALSO , ONCE YOU GET OFF OF THE MOWER (turn it off) THEN TURN KEY ON N MOVE ONE CONTROL ARM UP, THEN YOU CAN wiggle/fine tune the position of the mower) THEN PUT CONTROL ARM BACK N TURN KEY OFF. I SUGGEST THAT YOU START PRACTICING YOUR TURNS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR YARD/ NOT LIKE I DID. MADE MY 1ST TURN ON THE CURB N DROVE 1/2 OFF CURB WITH BLADES STILL ENGAGED. Shut it off immediately/ LESSON LEARNED. BE CAREFUL ON HILLS. ONCE IT STARTS GOING FOR THE DITCH/ IT'S GONE/ ALMOST WENT OVER THE HANDLE BARS/ control arms,HAD TO PULL IT OUT WITH 2nd PERSON AND MY 4 X 4 with TOW STRAP. BUT I LUV, LUV, LUV, MY 50" EASY RIDE TIME CUTTER. I ATTACHED A BUNGEE CORD with HOOK ON RIGHT SIDE FOR THE DISCHARGE CHUTE/ MADE SMALL HOLE FOR THE HOOK n PAINTED THE HOLE with WHITE PAINT FOR QUICKLY LOCATING
