I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. kzbin.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

I can’t thank you enough for the upfront pricing, model numbers and clear guide to each category of mowers well done sir!

[@JLawL]

I bought my Timecutter the second year that MyRide had come out, and it's probably just one of those "hidden inflation" deals, but almost all of the stuff you're talking about that the Titan has is sitting on my Timecutter. The hour meter, battery over the wheel, chain holding up the deck, the deck pedal and quick deck height select, and even the way you select the suspension of the seat, are all the same as the Titan. Mine also came with the 26 horsepower Kawasaki. If I had to buy one today, I'd definitely go Titan, but I've been cutting a very rough 27 acre field for years and I've never had any issues at all. So much so that the tractor I spent more for the mower deck than the entire Timecutter got sold because I couldn't be bothered to use it. Definitely love my Toro!

[@howeequipment]

They used to have Timecutter hd and Titan hds that are now re-branded as Titans and z masters. The most important thing to know to look at is the Transmissions and they will tell you what level it is equivalent to right now.

[@raisinghogsfromharleys878]

I'm here in South Dakota.......I purchased my 6000 from him in Michigan. They delivered it! The entire experience was perfect. Thanks Matt

[@harolddenton6031]

Dang covid and supply chain issues sure have jacked up prices on 4000 to 6000 series mowers. Almost 20k is a ridiculous price for that 6000 series my ride mower. Just 3 years ago you could have gotten that 6000 series mower fot around 15 grand.

[@Dave-co1cv]

I just bought my first ZTR mower last week. I went with the 50" My-Ride unit. It is definitely the most comfortable ride I have ever experienced mowing grass. Today I installed a mulch kit. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

[@casey197930]

They don't offer armrests at all for the 2000. I just picked mine up today. Also, my 2000 has a Toro motor. It DOES have a fully serviceable transmission. It had a filler neck and filter. I'm not sure why your model doesn't, but they apparently do offer one because here mine sets. You absolutely don't throttle up when shutting off the Toro on the 2000. Just the opposite according to the dealer and manual. The throttle up is on some of the Time Cutters only. Thanks for the video. This really helped me narrow some things down. 🍻

[@howeequipment]

Glad it helped thanks for the additional info!

I am going with a Titan. I wish I had seen this vid weeks ago. It would have saved some time. The power bagger on the Titan is way better than the bagger on the Timecutter.

[@michaelbradley770]

The 2800 trans if serviceable hydro gear makes a serving kit for the ones not equipped with a reservoir

[@austiny528]

There should be a way to service that 3400 on the 2000 series. May not be a reservoir but there should be an accessible fill port at least. A reservoir makes it easier, but just because it doesnt have one doesnt mean its not serviceable. The 2800 on the Titan is also technically serviceable but the place to fill it is a pain to get to and the transmission should last the life of the machine anyway. We have been Toro dealers for 20+ years and we are still waiting on our 2023 2000 series models to come in to really study them. Will also say we've sold a buttload of those Toro motors over the years and aside from the oil drain hose issue we've seen very few issues. Especially the models with the heavy duty filter.

[@howeequipment]

Thanks, and I appreciate it. There is plenty I still have to learn as I’ve only been a dealer for 1.5 years! Really appreciate that insight. Are you out of Ohio?

Just started this season with 2 new 4000 series 35hp Kawasaki’s and zt5400 transmission they are good so far only about 60hours on mine. Hope it holds up like the old 3000s and 5000s also won’t be buying another kohler engine.

[@johnlowe1061]

Out of curiosity, did you have any issues out of your kohler engines or do you just prefer the kawasaki engine? I thought Kohler made good engines is why I ask.

[@freedomisntfree_44]

@@johnlowe1061 never had any failures with them but the efi gave us a little trouble on them. Little service light would flash and it’d lose power every once in a while….if not for the emissions on them I think they’d do better but Was just aggravating. Also just didn’t have the pick up and torque like the Kawasaki’s. But put over 1000 hours on 2 kohlers with that being the only issue

[@mikalpechota770]

Ordered the Z2000 back in 2021. I wanted the DFS bagger system. Had to get the Z5000 because the engineers didnt make something or make the DFS work with the lower models. Glad i got the 5000 but had to upgrade just to get that bagger. Im down by Kzoo. I’ll have to checkout your dealership.

Hey, just wanted to say that I love the channel, I think I’ve watched this one episode like five or six times already. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Still trying to figure out exactly what I want and how much I actually want to spend.

Also, I hate to ask, but can you do a video with just the havoc additions side-by-side comparison? Thanks!👍🏻

Are tweels available for toro model 75316?

I see the new Toro Timecutter and Titans only have the single shock MyRide system. Is it a downgrade from the previous 3 shock MyRide system? And is a good suspension seat just as good as the single shock MyRide system?

I like the stand on mower. I like the Grandstands.. but I am taller (6' 4") and just wonder if those controls are too low for me .. I hate to have to stoop over while trying to mower my yards. Be nice if that whole dashboard and controls would be adjustable to move up or down a bit. I saw you step up on the Grandstand in this video.. just curious how tall you are so I can kinda compare your height to my height. Thanks for the info..

Is it possible to change the seat mechanism on the 75750 to one that doesn't move around all the time? I'm constantly adjusting that piece of junk flawed design! Can I buy the seat adjustment mechanism from a better model and will it fit the 75750?

[@kdr1048]

@howeequipment we ran deere z997r for years. Nice machine but at 3100 lbs it was very heavy and had to be very careful on not making any turf damage. With these new toro's it is a massive improvement for what we cut. Big difference. Nice video here on the different models. That titan max is pretty awesome! I agree with you, serviceable hydro is a major deal-breaker.

How does your Toro 4000 or 5000 or 6000 compared to the Spartan XD lawn mowers? It seems like the Spartan lawn mowers give you more for the money.

[@ericdolby1622]

Is the 2100 transmission the same thing I see other brands calling it EZT (ie John Deere Z330R)?

[@pementerprises7706]

The EZT has a 10cc stick piston pump and 10 cc stick piston motor that gives 215 ft-lbs of max torque. A top of the line ZT5400 that is in a 4000 series will have closer to 700 ft-lbs of max torque

@@howeequipment the ZT is the model name the CCs is simply cubic centimeters which is the volume displacement of the pump inside the transmission.

Isn’t the ZT-2800 serviceable?

[@howeequipment]

They make some that are and some that are not.

[@RoadieWingZZ]

ZT2800’s are all servicable in that they have exteral spin on/off filter and fill port, but not all are “conveniently “ servicable. That means some have external reservoirs for monitoring and filling, while some don’t and you have to fill via hard to reach fill ports. Toro chose not to use external reservoirs on the 2800’s which is a deal killer for many since lots of competitors do provide them.

[@SiR2Dean]

If they'd made the transmissions serviceable, it'd negate the need to sell new items.. its simple business 101 I fully appreciate you're endorsed by toro, but come on man, call a spade a spade! Adding an oil port wouldn't cost more, it'd just mean they'd last longer, so it wouldn't make sense for ppl to buy the newer model.. Great video though thanks, I'm in the market for a new zero turn and you've made me think.
