i run two exmark 30's with the kawi engines. Had them since the Ex 30's came out. My tip for you is this: turn the fuel off at the end of each lawn and run them out of gas. At next stop, turn them back on and restart. That has solved MOST of the carb issues for me. By doing that, I have prevented most of the flooding issues, and because fuel is off at the end of each day, it also prevents issues with gummy carbs when they sit for any length of time between mowings.

Absolutely awesome review on these mowers. Fabulous job sir.

Can't wait for the one, two and three year reviews. I want to know how they hold up in the long run when crews are using them.

Good review and on point in regard to the Time master. I was looking at an HDX with Kohler but ended up going with the Kawasaki. My dealer commented that a lot of what they're seeing in the shop most often now are Kohler powered units. If I need more power than the Kawasaki can deliver, I do have the Gravely PT 452 on the trailer. The 52 will handle just about any lawn I throw at it aside from gates and fenced yards. On an overgrown lawn, the 52 does the first pass and the 30 HDX does the finish. Works well for me and very efficient as a solo operator. Very little I wouldn't or couldn't tackle efficiently with this combination. Also, when it comes to dealers, I find they'll tell you whatever necessary to steer you in the direction of the machine they want to move at that moment in time (surplus inventory, dated inventory, etc). Better to check reviews online in independent forums.

Thanks for reviews. I own Teacher’s Grass, Garden and Grounds, llc in Louisiana and lost my 32” proline and and looking to purchase a 30” cutter. I’m glad to hear your professional information about the all 3 levels. Thanks again.

I've been running Timemaster's since they came out. I had a helper bought a second one for them. 60" cutting small lawns is just awesome. I'm completely solo now. I've made some videos about Timemaster's and early issues etc. I run equipment for high hours. If I had a crew or multiple crews, I wouldn't trust them with the Timemaster. Employees will rag equipment out. Just a fact. Those mowers will give you less trouble. I've done demos with them. I like the Timemaster weight, handle adjustment and height. I truly have no issues going up hills. I drive mine up ramps to my Chevy 2500 that seats high. I've had cables ware out. Usually after a season and half. As far as bogging down. The original 190cc I had to make adjustments and it did ok. When I wore that engine out, I put the B&S 223cc on it and never have issues at all. Also during thick grass season low lift mulching blades are night and day. I'm excited about Ballard coming out with the dual blades for the mowers soon. Mulching will go to a whole new level. This is a great video. Good information. Thanks for taking the time share and show the difference between models and engines...

Great video. I currently use the emark 30 for some residential, but mostly commercial. I am still looking into the fw15 . Good to see you are doing really well with your business

Those timemaster i have been using mine for over a year commercially and its been great we only use it on 5 lawns a week where our big mowers don't fit.

Great video!

Good video thanks you

Great video

Good video man.

Good video..I've heard of lawn care companies up grading their timemaster from turf Master parts was still cheaper

I've had great luck with Kohler engines and of course I'd rather have the Turfmaster over the Timemaster. I only cut my own yard though I've cut commercially in the past. You get used to overbuilt, and it's hard to go back.

I had the exmark 30 since they came out and sold them this year as they we’re getting old. Loved the Exmark besides the high maintenance requirements. This year switched to toro turfmaster and don’t like how they drive. Transmission if either too soft or too jerky…tried messing around with cable adjustment but can’t find an easy drive speed modulation. One more reason to get off the truck 😝

Great video with great insight into these mowers. I’m a residential homeowner with a small yard and I’ve had a 21 inch on a push mower for years. I can get a used turf master with a Kohler engine that is two years old for 1499 the same price as a new time master. Any advice on which way to go for a residential user?

No Toro for me

What happened on the FW 15? No go? I looked hard at them but really couldn't get any good feedback. I'm going to the turf from the time also.

Great video Freddie....have you been using your stump grinder attachment? Wondering if it’s worth the investment

Any power difference between Kohler Kawasaki on Turfmaster I have a Turfmaster been nearly 3 months for parts for the Kawasaki the starter

I haven’t had any issues with the Kawasaki carb.

Is a toro time master good for me a solo operator. Every week i do 5 lawns that are about 7,000 sq/ft each?

Is it good for residential?

hey you still spraying lawns? show the setup

so how are they holding up? Do you think they are worth their current price today?

No difference bro.
