    Love the Toro Myride. Bought one in April 2022. But I am afraid to wash it. It as an electronic parking brake controller that costs $150 to replace. The brake control module has a lot of electrical connections to it. It is not water or rain proof. I washed my mower with a regular hose sprayer not a pressure washer. You guessed it. It got water in this module. The result was an intermittent short that would not allow the mower to start. The repair facility said that the part was not covered under warranty because there was water in it. A really poor design on an "outdoor" machine. I am sure there is a warranty clause if you do not do regular cleaning. I am switching to Bad Boy.

    I have a brand spanking new Bad Boy 42" MZ Rambler. The BB replaced a 27 year old Deere STX46. What I like about Main ST. Mower is, he may be biased but he does what most other reviewers do not...He shows the mowers actually cutting grass. I got tired of others doing walk around telling us how strong and durable the machine they're showing is. I REALLY liked when he stressed tested both on that super tall grass. He's the only one I've seen who has done anything like that. Very impressive! Thank you! You get a big thumbs up from me.

It rained today and the grass was wet it was about the same height as the grass you was mowing and damn it cut it pretty good on the first pass that i just left it like that. And the engine was just powering through it effortlessly . Its a powerful machine for sure.

  • @horsingnaturally2244
    @horsingnaturally2244 Рік тому +6

    The noise you heard were the blade spindle bearings going bad. This tends to happen when people cut something else other than grass, or they drag the decks too low to the ground. Plus there was a small batch of bearings that did not get lubrication. And Bad Boy has since upgraded the bearings to another part number. The bearings should have black rubber seals on top and bottom. If the bearing only has one rubber seal, and the other seal is metalic, then that is part of the bad batch that tends to get very noisy after about 20 hours. Warranty covers replacement of these bearings....

    I had a timecutter with my ride suspension system . It favored riding up against one side of the rails instead of setting in the center of the platform. At 30 hours had both hydros go out so I was told by dealer. Had a belt snap as well in that time frame. That was my last toro experience and dealer told me they wouldn't honor the warranty if the hydros went out again so once it was fixed I sold it for pay off and bought a spartan rt pro and never looked back . Toros are nice mowers for some but my experience wasn't the greatest after what I thought was a upgrade From my old husqvarna zero turn which only ever needed oil changes and blade sharpening...

      You must have had a ZT Avenger or smaller. The Elite's and above have swivel suspensions on front, and some upper tiers have rear suspension. If yours is bouncing a lot, you might want to consider leveling your yard because all solid frame mowers are going to bounce you out of the seat unless you own an Elite or larger.

That said, I happen to really like the new Toro with the Kawasaki engine. The 50" deck cuts beautifully. I don't let my lawn get to the point where the grass is knee high, so I'm not concerned with the Bad Boy cutting the tall stuff better. I will say that the Toro has gone up in price to nearly $4000 from the time this video was made. Inflation sucks!

    Something to consider with this test and the cut quality--- A wider mower, like the 60" Bad Boy in this video, will always cut taller grass better than a narrower 50" Toro. The blades on the Bad Boy are ~3.3" longer.

    @alanatimmons765 2 роки тому +6

    Coming from a lawnmower dealership and a small engine mechanic shop, we deal with both of these mower brands everyday. Hands down, Bad Boy is the better mower. First, the deck on every residential Bad Boy is commercial 7 gauge steel, even on the smallest $3,000 bad boy. The Toro deck is only 10 gauge steel which is thinner so it can't take as much wear and tear. Second, you are comparing a Kawasaki vs Kohler. Of course the engine is going to sound different, but when you started those blades on the Bad Boy, that sounds like you've got some kind of issue going on under that deck you might want to check out. Bad Boy does not sound like that on a normal basis. It would be interesting to see what you have under those decks. Blades and baffles make a difference with how far the grass is thrown and how much grass is being cut off at a time. Nothing against Toro, but Bad Boy is the better option when it comes to the overall simplicity of design which makes Bad Boy much easier to work on when repairs are needed, because lets be honest, it's a mower and sometimes things need to be repaired or replaced. Also, with Bad Boy the fuel capacity is greater so you get more mowing done with each tank of gas, the steel frame is tougher for more durability, the list goes on...Not to mention, the Bad Boy just looks good.

    I've used both. Time master trashed out after 4 months of use on 15 lawns a week. I had a bad boy elite for 2 seasons and sold it for over half of what I paid. Guy I sold it too still has it 4 yrs later. Timecutters are trash unless your doing one lawn a week. But maybe I had a lemon, who knows.

  • @panchovillaxx7
    @panchovillaxx7 4 роки тому +14

    Yes and no,I own both mowers and let me tell you, a bad boy from 2007 still rides,cuts,turns,silent blades just like the 2020 time cutter,the only thing the toro differs from the bad boy is the fuel economy,it is a gas zip machine,I recommend both,or if you just a house wife and wants no trouble servicing this things,get the toro time cutter,ride and mow for years to come with only putting gas and changing oil.
    P.S toro costumer service sucks.

    I have an opportunity to buy a toro time cutter model 75748 for about $2800 at home depot. I wish they offered more options like the one your testing. Bigger deck and kawasaki motor. The one they have has a briggs and 42" deck. Is this still a good mower ? Worth buying?
    Thanks

    • @mainstreetmower
      @mainstreetmower  7 місяців тому

      The 42" briggs is a good unit however I suggest shopping at a Lawn mower dealer other than big box stores like home depot. By shopping at a local dealer, not only do you get personal customer care but also get many more mower options to pick from.

  • @TheImageDoctor
    @TheImageDoctor 3 місяці тому

    Here's a courteous and honest RANT about the Toro Timecutter mower...
    I bought a brand new Toro Timecutter mower 2 years ago (in 2022) specifically for the My Ride system, because I have an acre to mow and it's really uneven in places. The My Ride system is a great idea and works pretty well, but needs seriously stronger springs. I weight 215 and it bottoms out all the time - but its better than no suspension at all.
    HOWEVER... the Toro Timecutter DECK is the real problem with this mower for at least TWO reasons...
    (1) DECK PULLEYS: I'm already on my third deck belt in only 2 seasons because of a serious design flaw where the LAST idler pulley on the belt path (in the "pulling" direction) does not have the small retainer to keep the belt on the pulley. For this reason, even though there is a strong tensioner pulley to keep the belt tight on the pulleys, the belt obviously softens and stretches slightly after mowing for a while; and sometimes its just enough stretch to slip OFF of that last pulley. When THAT happens, the instant you engage the cutting deck, the belt is violently yanked up under the last pulley, where it gets jammed in place and cannot be extracted without removing the entire pulley - at which point it has probably shredded the belt and burnt down or thru in places. It's a ridiculous oversight that will cost you a new deck belt every single time it happens, so you must carefully inspect your deck belt routing EVERY time before you mow to be sure it's still on all the pulleys.
    (2) DECK DESIGN: The actual underside design of the deck is horrible. Even slightly wet grass, dirt and debris will collect and cake-up so badly that in only a few uses the deck cannot even cut the grass because literally the only "open space" is where the blades are actually turning. At that point, nothing comes out of the discharge chute, and the blades begin bending the grass instead of cutting it. Deck washing can help but has its own issues and does NOT solve the problem. No matter how diligent you are about deck washing, you too will soon spend hours chiseling out debris that is caked on like cement, or your mower simply will not cut. And you will have to do this again... and again... and again... all because the deck underside is SO badly designed. Literally this deck is made to cut nothing except absolutely 100% dry grass, and it must still be completely washed out after every use. In my situation, that's completely unrealistic - thus I have a regular cuss-fest-session chiseling out this deck 3-4 times each season.
    As for Toro being responsive to dealers and customers... ehhh, that depends on where you live. I live in SW Colorado and bought my Toro at Tractor Supply; only to find out the nearest "authorized" dealer for parts and repairs is nearly 2 hours away. So when the mower breaks in THAT situation, you got problems. Knock on wood, I'm grateful that my mower engine (Kohler) runs well, and so far nothing has broken beyond what I can handle myself, so I'm able to mow what I need to mow. But damn it is a major a-whip just about every time I mow with this Toro TC.
    Otherwise, believe it or not, I really DO like the mower !!! :-)

From what I saw $1k more money for the Bad Boy is a bargain at twice the price for a clearly better machine.I've been on the fence about getting the ZT Elite over a cheaper (Timecutter) machine and you helped make up my mind.

    The hi grass test may have been more of an exhibition of power and potentially durability.
    Aside from that, the quality of the cut there (as expected, poor on first pass) would depend a good deal on how sharp the blade is and its speed. The SHAPE of that blade also would be more effective if flatter. A mulching blade would just ball up.
    So again, not a good test for residential because the blades are less critical in the neighborhood. I like speed when it comes to a clean smooth residential cut and I like a thorough mulching. Mulching and smoothness of cut will depend greatly on what kind of grass you are cutting. St Augustine, fortunately, is not sinewy (not like those green beans with strings you can't chew well and spit out, haha). Bermuda and tiff have less water mass and so need a sharper fast blade.
    The test grass needs a very fast and sharp flat blade and a dang turbine powered brush hog!!! Not something made for a yard or nice tall Bermuda type grazing grass.
