Updates: I incorrectly said that the Titan Max is available in 54" & 48". Toro has many other mowers in those sizes but the Titan Max is only available in the 60" shown. The front tires are also pneumatic not semi-pneumatic as I thought, the cool black rims blended in too well I think for my aging eyes! Just wanted to clarify these points!

Great video as always!!
Guess you could say your lawn was" Beast Mowed".
@@rickfromthecape3135 yes!!! 🤣
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_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.
You should review those "Darn Tough" socks you're always wearing! I love those!
Great video. This would have been a great choice for me. But I just purchased one of their 4000 series. I just love TORO. Dependable and their machines are just getting better. Nice new design as well. Love your channel.
Here's my review - I just bought one of these two weeks ago, this thing is badass.
I love my Titan. I have already cut my 5 1/2 acres twice. The cut is beautiful. So much speed.
Great video as always, I love Toro stuff and I run the Grandstand and a few commercial push mowers. New to the fleet is my brand new Toro Z Master series 5000 mower. I cant wait to use it. Right now we have snow, but as soon as I get to there will be a video! lol Thanks for the content!
Bought mine last spring, wow! I cut 7-8 acres and it mows like a champ.
I have a Titan My ride and absolutely love it. Getting the light kit for it soon but this machine as you say is a beast and mows my 2.5 acres in about 45 min.
Just got the havoc edition shipped today to my golf range and you’d think I just bought the new corvette the amount of compliments the first day from customers was almost overwhelming talking about it over and over again but i already have 3.7 hrs on it and love the cut of it upgraded from a 2001 toro smasher 253 and it’s a much better cut and really stands up to commercial grading .. so far very happy just not used to the roll bar yet under branches lol
Looks awesome. I'm looking at maybe the 42" My Ride (non-Titan Toro).
Great review as usual
Curious for your opinion: Bought a house that has an acre yard with TONS of landscaping that is intricately laid out. Lots of snaking sections and regular sized ride ons are too big. I currently have a 30 inch ride on, but hate it. Thoughts? You're the man!
I looked at those this spring but went with the Bad Boy instead. Front independent and rear suspension, suspension seat, fully adjustable lap bars, dial deck height, same motor, deck and hydros for $500 less out the door. Toro makes a great machine that's been around forever; you'll never go wrong with them but I figured a better ride and a couple of years worth of gas was a better deal. Best to change the break in oil around 2-3 hours too. Smell it and it will have gas in it; normal but change it out anyway. You just spent $6k for it so take care of it.
This is funny, I ordered one of these the second week of Jan., I was told that I would have it in April, well I didn't get it, dealer and Toro told me that production was stopped on this machine and many others due to a parts shortage. Wound up getting a Titan 2500 series, and now that I have used it I think the one I got was a better choice
This is a great mower. I would love to test one out on a good sized lawn.
I am pretty happy with my 50" Timecutter (Model 75750). It is beefier then most residential zero turns at this price level.
Except for the Hydros. They could of installed a more stout one.
Great video. Now... I REALLY want to backfill a hill on the property so that a ZT is usable. Even still, however, even the TORO TimeCutter 4200 is probably more than I would spend. I do love my TORO Super Recyclers though.
Great video. Toro makes a nice mower. Was wondering if you ever reviewed a Bad Boy zero turn mower ?
That thing looks amazing!
Great review 👍
Pays to buy good tools, I have an old bobcat zt219, that thing is built like a tank and I love it. Great vid and cheers from NH
Those old Bobcats were very nice, I think they even made a rear discharge for a while too.
I have the 50” toro my ride, I love it! Not as commercial but the suspension is a big plus for me.
I tested one of the my rides last year and it was very good, nice mower for sure, rides like a cadillac.
What an amazing machine!
On a smaller scale, I still love my Toro timemaster 30" walk behind. Solid mower
100% agree, I reviewed that last year and still use that machine weekly on parts of my lot. Awesome machine, only gripe is it has a small tank but fortunately it's easy to work around. ua-cam.com/video/Nd8J1iwqpzE/v-deo.html
Yup, I saw that review and 100% agree. It's perfect for my quarter acre and getting better stripes than a 21" or 22".
Damn! You make me wish I had a bigger yard (and bank account). Definitely an awesome machine! But, I do very nicely with my John Deere D110 😃 Thank you for another great video! I do wonder what your occupation is (not looking for the answer), your property and house are beautiful 🤩
The ZT3100 transmissions are VERY LOUD and yes I did purge the air out of the transmissions!! STILL WAS LOUD!!!!!
If you're impressed with this Toro you need to check out Spartan! 7ga steel deck, push-button key pad for start-up, and it even has a 12V plug for a cell phone charger.
I have a Toro Timemaster SS5000 with a 50 inch deck, 2 things I hate about it: PITA to take the deck off to clean underneath and change the blades, and the worst, it's leaving a line of relatively uncut grass on the left side, forcing me to go over everything twice if I want an even cut, and my mild OCD demands that I do. This seems to be a not uncommon problem with the Toro and I can't figure out why it's doing it. If I was to buy another ZTR it would be the EGO electric.
If you had a choice between this and the cub that you reviewed in the other video, which one would you go with? Found the cub on sale for about the same price as the Toro.
Will this mower tow a lawn roller or any other tow behind attachments?
CAN HARDLY WAIT TO THAT DAY.....
THX
MIAMI FL
Can you pull the pins out on the roll-bar by hand? I just got a new one and they're so tight I had to drive them out with a hammer. Toro says this is "normal."
Would you recommend this model for a large yard that is extremely bumpy (some of which is due to the lay of the land and tree roots but also the destruction caused by female dog urine that has left big gaping dead spots everywhere that even when dirt filled are uneven with the surrounding grass)? I've been through three different mowers - one zero turn and two riders - and have ruined all of them. I need something that is tougher than my lawn and I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks.
Awesome, I'm sold.
It's similar to the Scag Cheetah but working on the deck belts looks easy on this but I don't like the one side fuel tank or the Kohler engine
Would you take this or your current rider?
I bought a Red Max O turn 54" 2 Years ago...Great machine! Looks as if Toro copied their design cuz alot of these features are on my machine that's already almost 3 years old!
Great review. the tires are nice and the deck adjustment system is too. otherwise, the rest of the features are pretty much the same as my 20-year-old 60" Exmark Lazer Z xs. The Lazer is indeed a full-on commercial mower, but the hydraulic drive system on mine looks to be a lot heavier duty than this model. Perhaps your point is that most of the features on this machine are amazing for a residential unit?
Exmarks have been really great machines since day 1. I’m not surprised to see this. People skip that brand a lot and they are some of the toughest machines out there
It would have been very nice to see and hear the machine working in real time.
Now that is a very nice machine! Toro seems like a really great company with great products. I’ve been looking at their battery lineup.
I liked how well built this was, its certainly not cheap at $5999 but this was comparable to similar cub cadets I tested that were almost double the price.
@@SilverCymbal did this model have the My Ride suspension system?
@@TheLawngineer No, no suspension on the seat. Had a lot of padding, I feel like they stuck to basics with this one, but extremely solidly built. Probably a very good choice for very long term ownership but missing some of those extras on their other models, suspensions seat, autochoke, headlights.
@@SilverCymbal it’s a solid machine. Wish I had more land to mow with... currently sitting on 4,000 SF of mowable area. But might be moving in the near future... hoping to get something with a bit more land.
@@TheLawngineer My yard even feels small with this one. There are a lot of fields near me and I can see this doing very well there and cutting super fast. Their walk behind time cutter at 30" is still a great choice too.
SC...you get a thumbs up before I even watch the video
I appreciate that
Very cool machine. I wish I had a yard big enough to justify one. This mower could probably cut my yard in 5 min lol
How much does it cost to buy one curiously
Bought a Titan 60 with MyRide last year. No comparison to the regular spring seat. Ride the wave.
The myride was really exceptional. Looking at it. you think they were nuts for making it. Then you get on it and its like you are riding in a landspeeder or cadillac. Very well done, I think with this model they were going for very solid old school features, maybe to compete with other particular models or something
@@SilverCymbal At age 70 this year my body thanks me. Cut down the time by a couple hrs and not riding a bucking bronc.
@@fredhinck9685 I hear yea! I purchased a Toro Z Master series 5000 it has air ride. Gonna be ez on the back!
Have you ever consider an electric mower like the Cub Cadet ZT1 42e?
Yes very much so I would like to try that one and the Ryobi as well.
Changing oil? What is this, 2020?!
Not that it's a bad machine, but you can get a Gravely mower for about the same price.
Where are the open beverage holders?
It's got one cup holder, I should have included this! Required equipment!
Does it have a beer holder?
It does! 1 cup holder
@@SilverCymbal sold
Toro is handing these mowers out to every content creator. They must be hurting for sale.
Just looked at one today6600 cash ???????
How much is this model?
Retail is $5,999
My mower goes 13 mph and has a 1000cc 35 horsepower kawasaki engine and holds 13 gallons of gas.
Mean Green ELECTRIC mowers are the way to fly, as well as EGO ELECTRIC weed eaters and pack blowers, on many levels!
Toro was able to get the price down total of the machine because the most important part of it. They cheapened out and put a kohler engine on it where they should’ve stuck a Kawasaki or Honda or vanguard engine on it. Everything is commercial except for the engine sadly.
Hmm, good point there. I love the Kawasaki engines. I believe Cub Cadet is still using them on larger commercial mowers.
I don't think $6000 is a bad price for what you re getting.
Couldn't give me a Kohler. If its not a kawasaki, its not an engine. Check out hustler. They invented the zero turn mower back in 1964.
I’ll stick with my Deere. The reviews I’ve seen online are between 3-3.5 stars. Sorry, but for a $6K++ machine...no thank you. Nice plug for Toro, though.
If you like your Deere that fine but lets not just spread fake news. John Deere has not done well in the past few years with many of their mowers, they lost the hold the used to have, even their signature insanely priced x745 which I have owned has 3.6 stars review. Yet a quick search at tractor supply has almost every Toro at 4.5 stars or above with hundreds of reviews. Remembering the JD of the old days is like what Mercedes used to be. There is no single brand that is a winner, it's all model to model, no one should ever be blindly loyal to a brand, they aren't to you.
Front tires DO TAKE air !!!!
The deck is not deep enough
Looks like a red john deere
When i win the lottery, i will buy acreage property and get away from yahoo's. and buy this mower!!!
It's bad because don't have a lawn box
Just spent $8000 on the Titan max have it edition and it is a total piece of crap from loose screws during assembly to the belt coming off 11 different times in less than four hours of use. When I called Touro for assistance they refused to give me a corporate contact number insisted. I had to write a letter and told me the only option was to take to a repair center that can’t even diagnose it until sometime in early October and this is my livelihood. I make my living mowing grass, total disgrace, and terrible customer service from Toro.
FIRST!
Only for the 1%
It's definitely not the best not by a long shot
Max only comes in a 60” deck your video is inaccurate
Toro had told me the other sizes were coming, I guess it never happened
Same features and performance as my 15 yr old+ Gravely 260Z. Even the price! Jk
I think they were trying to go for the tried and true features of the older days. Heavy steel, good engine. Probably not a bad idea, like yours those older machines are still going strong
Kohler=junk. Should of got a Kawasaki. Coming from a commercial lawn care guy
I worked in lawn care for years take it from me Toro mowers are garbage and cheaply made!!!
