My only complaint about living in East Texas is the sand dirt. No matter how well you maintain your lawn you still make dust especially during the summer. The only way around it is to spray the yard and mow to keep the dust down. I wished Toro would have put a throttle control lever on this model especially to run at lower rpm through areas that have small patches of grass. I have one in layaway and I'm going to remove the foam in the gas tank to regain some gas volume since this tank is small. Someone told me this was a work around for a leaking gas cap,I know the earlier model had that issue but Toro could have fixed that with a deeper threaded cap. Dust or not I'm getting one to cut down on my mowing time because I get wore down edging and trimming due to bad back and neuropathy especially if I have to double cut yards. Gator makes really good blades for these Toro 30 inch.
They do save time for sure. But I wouldn’t remove that sponge because the mower is at more risk of vapor locking but I have seen people remove it. I can cut about 20,000 square feet (1/2 acre) on one tank of gas. Thanks for watching 👊🏼💯
Running some on my 50 Cub Cadet and I'm very pleased at the results✔👍
I will find out more once I take them on all my properties. But they did pretty good on my lawn. My only concern so far is they are a little heavier than the OEM blades. Not sure if that’s gonna help or hurt them. Maybe less nick’s in the blades?
@@TheLawnFellas Yes they seem to way a ton! I think you'll be well pleased 💯💪🏽
@@bigsonslawncare I like the extra tooth on them but time will tell for sure. Hope they last longer than the OEM blades do after 20 lawns I get a lot of nicks from some sticks.
How long did they last???
Rookie. Never blow grass on the street always blow the grass inward!
Rookie 😂😂😂 who says you can’t?? That’s why they make big boy blowers. But your right I don’t do this on a customer property. I do try to avoid this at all cost. Sometimes it’s unavoidable. 👍🏼
Talll Graaaass! What's up, "Fellaaaa?" I'm likin' those blades, Bro'! Definitely something to keep in mind. They look a lot more substantial than the standard blades.
Diggin' the music too! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!
Louuuuuuu Yes they definitely feel stronger and a bit heavier. Holding them being heavy doesn’t hurt the cut we will find out. Good so far though. And The LawnFellas glad you like it👍🏼💯
Those Ripper blades look impressive! Being we run our timemasters on most of our yards, I’m curious how well the Rippers hold up compared to the OEM’s. Please give us an update from time to time. For the price, I would consider getting a set of blades to test on one of our mowers.
For sure they are really heavy duty just feeling them. Not sure if that’s good or bad with them being a little more heavier. I will definitely give some updates along the way. Got a few to do this weekend. Thanks for watching 👍🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas Well from a residential Toro 30 owner I can say the heavier blades while cutting good do a lot of wear and tear on the mower. Might not as much on the commercial versions. However I noticed belts going faster and more frequent oil changes over a period of 1 yr using them. I eventually went back to the OEM which seemed to resolve those issues. I think there are some things the Residential was not meant to use in terms of heavier blades. But I say it is your equipment , use and abuse it how you see fit.
@@mrgreen2769 couldn’t agree more. The OEM to me on any mower residential or commercial is better than after market. Just my opinion but I tend to believe they test these things for a Reason!!
@@TheLawnFellas I don't doubt they test them but they can't test them under every condition. Varies from grass type, cut height, type of soil, weather even age of your mower. I live in Texas and right about this time we have high humidity which is hard on anyone. I don't tend to mow wet grass, that alone was alot of stress on the belts and engine with heavier blades so I have to mow in 100 degree weather with low humidity usually after 2pm. Heat wise it is still a stress on the mower. Luckily I have yards with good shade so I am not directly out in the sun. I went back to the OEM to hit early in the morning regardless of how wet the lawn was. Don't have anymore struggle on the blades which is fine.
@@mrgreen2769 I only use OEM. I made an update video about these blades. They are commercial blades like you said. I actually weigh them. I honestly think that Ballard made an error and put the TimeMaster and Turfmaster in the same category!!
I will try a set next time
Let me know if you like them Phillip.

@@Puggy124 not sure what that means
Thanks for the vid. How are they on mulching?
I don’t want to bash the blade I just feel like the OEM Blade is better. If you were cutting your own properly and getting it cut 5-7 days it might look nice. I just think it’s definitely a heavier blade and will last longer than the OEM Blade.
Thoughts so far on these? I got a set of the Hi Rise blades and they’re ok. Cut 3-4 times with them so far. Lot of suction and vacuum..enough to pull up dead clippings sitting down in the turf. But might be a little too much for this mower as far as weight and vacuum. Jury is still out.
Yes the ripper blades are heavier so on nice manicure lawns they work well on overgrown properties and my biweekly lawns not so good. I am gonna probably put them back on for when it dries up and leaf season because I am side discharging now so I think they will be great for mulching considering that’s what they are made for. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Do you think they cut better than the OEMs? Like a noticeable difference?
@@CB57 no not right now maybe leaf clean ups and when it’s dry out and I mulch m more they will be better, but we will find out. 👍🏼💯
thanks! when you put the blades back on the timemaster, how do you make sure they don't bang into each other? I had that problem prior and Toro fixed it but I want to sharpen the blades again and don't want to make the same mistake.
If they are banging then your timed belt slipped. As long as you put the adapters in the right place the. You won’t have an issue at all. Check out my latest video on difference between commercial and residential blade change 👍🏼
Question, are those Ballard blades mulching blades or just cutting blades?Thanks
They can be used for both. I am gonna do a follow up video this week sometime. 👍🏼
Grass grows like nobody's business when you don't pick it up, all your doing is fertilizing the lawn so you end up needing to do twice as much cuts in a year which is not handy unless you have nothing better to do.
It’s actually good for the soil. But I also Dethatch ,aerate, and overseed my lawn which helps it. If you don’t dethatch and aerate you should probably want to bag it more often than not.
Do you have the link or part number for these blades?
Unfortunately I do not. Usually blades are based of each mower. So if you type in toro TimeMaster those blades should come up.
Side discharge makes a mess.
Under normal circumstances it doesn’t. This mower with OEM blades disperses the grass really well.
🔥🔥
👊🏼💯
How well do those rippers mulch?
Well I put them on and it cut my yard pretty good. But for a biweekly cut I thought they didn’t do so well. I was side discharging with them and I feel like they are a tad heavier than OEM blade. I am gonna put them back on when things slow down and give them a try with mulching leaves
I like them Ripper blades. That cuts pretty good and the deck wasn't bad at all especially when the grass is wet. Oh can't wait to see the new trimmer brother 👊
So far so good we will see when I cut other lawns. New trimmer is awesome it definitely saves time for sure. Thanks Bill for watching 👍🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas Yea if they work good for you I might get some. I can't wait to see the new trimmer. Your very welcome Tony 👊💯
@@wildbillslawncare5901 👊🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas 👊💪💯
So I bought a set of these and just put them on last night. Do you need to sharpen these out of the box? The have an edge on them but the tip of the edge is a little blunt compared to when I sharpen my OEM blades. What are our thoughts after a week of running them?
No they come sharpened. My thoughts are they are great on weekly lawns and the edge is definitely stronger than OEM but the OEM is better on my bi weekly cuts for some reason. My guess is that the OEM are a tad lighter. Just my opinion on them so far. Thanks for watching 👊🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas Good to know! Thanks for the reply 👊
@@zalatx7436 f🙃No Problem!! they are definitely made strong for sure. 👊🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas I use the Ballard high lifts in the fall for bagging and love them (great vacuum/suction), but I got much better results after sharpening them even brand new. For mulching I get a better cut with the Toro Atomic blades (low lift in spring / high lift in summer) than any other blades I've tried and I've been mowing for 10 years now with my Timemaster. (It's been repowered with the Kohler CV224). I never side discharge as I have planting beds all over the yard.
@@mellowjammer yes I started to mulch a lot more on the few lawns I have to use it on. But to me the OEM blades are the best same with my grandstand 👍🏼 thanks for watching appreciate it 💯
I notice the pro guys(I am just a homeowner with a Timemaster) side discharge. Would that benefit my lawn or should I stick to cutting at 3.25" using mulching?
As a homeowner Rick I cut at 4 inches and I do both. If I can cut it 3 times a week I prefer to mulch it. But I am sometimes a busy guy so if I let it go a little side discharge sometimes double cut it also. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
As a homeowner with a timemaster that cuts twice a week I could easily mulch instead of side discharge. But I like the cleaner overall cut that side discharge gives, and I hardly have to scrape my deck at all. I did notice a better cut/better vacuum making an OCDC with a bungee cord rather than using the oem discharge chute
@@CB57 and the side discharge spreads it way more with the bungee!! Only issue is be aware of surroundings the side discharge chute stops rocks and other debris from flying out. The bungee does not. Be safe and thanks for watching 👊🏼💯
It just makes it easier and time is money
For sure but gotta make sure it’s quality at the same time. I have bagged yards that I think are too high. And it actually saves time to bag it rather than triple cut it.
My only complaint was the schiddy music.
Yea some like it some don’t. I understand. At least you liked the video or at least hope ya did 👍🏼
@@TheLawnFellas The video was good. The music…it’s the kind of music that my daughter would accuse me of playing to act “cool”. And, it’s not Merle Haggard.
@@tavolo22 😂😂😂. Well thanks for the kind words and feedback on the music.
His Timemaster isnt going to last very long if he's in the habit of cutting grass that high with the machine set to "E". My everyday height this time of year is "C", with an ocassional "D". But what do I know, I've only been in business since 1974.
Your absolutely correct C is 3.25 my normal cut for most lawns and with my grandstand I don’t cut anything below 3.25. But for this purpose I wanted to show these blades in extreme cutting conditions on the side lawn. I cut my front at a different height. But this timemaster actually has 250 hours on it and had the same belts, fuel filter, etc…. Maybe you should watch a few of my other TimeMaster videos where I show how to make this mower last. 250 hours is about 15-20 years for a homeowner
@@TheLawnFellas I will watch your other videos. And will subscribe too! Didnt mean to sound snotty with my reply brother, keep up the good work! With my Timemaster, I find replacing the blade brake cable once a year a good practice. It gets water in the cable and rusts and breaks where the cable bends near the engine. Replaced my belts this year for the first time in 4 years. Dont do many accounts anymore, having been doing this since I was 17, and am now 66, and working alone. Keeps you in shape though!
@@jeffreylombardo782 wow man that is awesome. You didn’t sound snotty. I love the feedback and your feedback was definitely correct based off the video. That’s why I wanted you to check out a few more videos 👍🏼. I love the TimeMaster just got a brand new one but try not to take on many push mowing accounts. Thanks for subscribing appreciate it 💪🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas HaHa, Ok man. I wish you well and good business forever! Its not an easy business, being dependent upon the weather, etc. But its a gratifying one. I started at 17, working for someone else, back in the day when lawn maintenance was a luxury for the few. And went out on my own in 1980. In 1974, we didnt have line trimmers, or backpack blowers. When we finished cutting with the mowers(bag only!) , we all picked up hand grass trimmers, and finished up with 2 men on brooms to clean the walkways. Can you imagine.......no line trimmers and no blowers? Yep thats how it was. 66 years old now, and when people ask me when I'll retire, I tell them all the same thing.....when I drop dead on the job. But I somehow did OK, and paid off 2 mortgages, ahead of time, and raised 3 beautiful and respectful daughters. How I got started on this...I dont know. Take care of yourself now!
Wow man that’s a great story for sure. Times have definitely changed to make things easier. I couldn’t imagine doing trimming by hand. I do this on the side. I am a teacher. Needed something to do in the summer time and make couple extra dollars. I have 4 boys gotta feed them. Take care Jeffrey hope to see you back on my channel. You sound like a great man!!
Like your content but the music don't match the man.🇺🇸👍
Thanks Kenneth unfortunately I don’t have that many choices of music. I just use the UA-cam music they give me. But thanks for watching appreciate it 👍🏼
You’ll need wild heard of sheep there and fish more
Little confused with your comment can you explain?? Thanks
Lose the music
Yea It was a bad choice maybe I can change it somehow!! Gotta figure it out
Stopped watching with silly songs being played
Yea sometimes that happens. My newer videos I don’t use music as much unless it’s a background 👍🏼.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Terrible, why the music,
Not sure exactly 👍🏼
