Ryan, I love your editing my brother. And you know I love that mower too! Great job my friend.
Thank you! With your yard the size it is now maybe you should look at getting one!!!
ryanknorr that's what I said! :)
The Lawn Care Nut
hey nut
how are u
I love mine! Had one when they first came out (had a little side business mowing), sold it and got last years model for the house. These are awesome little mowers
I've got the 2016 residential model and I love it. It looks like the 2017 stripes better, but it could have been the grass laying down better because it was wet. We will have to see when your lawn dries up, may make me want a new mower!
My 2016 model striped pretty much the same as this one but either way, both models striped well. More videos and test to come!
Wow.... she's a beauty ! The lawn, and Machine... tear runs down.... good on you! Nice to see love from "The Lawn Care Nut" big fan of both you gentleman.
Your aerial views show some lawn domination(lawn care nut)
not over the top, straight forward, good editing.......you got another subscriber! I find myself watching alot of your vids...great stuff!!
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Nice Video, you can really see the domination on the yard compared to the neighbours, keep it up.
Definitely. In their defense, most people aren't as crazy as me, so there's that. :)
Can you do a pov video of you making those stripes on your lawn they look amazing
Great aerial views Ryan. The striping is on point!.
Thanks!
Great tutorial, great job thinking of picking one up from the local dealer this weekend. Thanks!
Awesome...enjoy the new machine.
2:20 dog takes a piss, priceless...
Ryan, what do you think if I get a used Toro proline 32 (same money as a used timemaster) for my hilly 1/3rd acre lawn? Would it be too much (overkill) for my needs?
Like the drone shots as well bro looking good
Thanks!
Love your videos man! Keep them coming. I'm interested in seeing how the lawn comes along through spring.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I love your stripes on the lawn! I also love that mower!
Thanks!
drone footage is sick man, nice video!
Thanks!
Nice vid. Glad the new mower is working out for you. Finally time to mow!!
Definitely felt good to be back out there.
Nice lines/stripes! Way to be conscious of keeping a consistent line, great video, can’t wait for mine to arrive...
My 2017 Timemaster was in the shop only after it's 3rd mow.The cylinder head had to be replaced. Im disappointed in the quality since I paid a grand for it. I agree with your assessment of it, I'm always going to wonder if it's going to start every time I mow.
Sorry to hear that. I know quality control doesn't seem to be what it used to be.
+Marc R You're not the only one...read the reviews. QC is pretty bad, you either get a good one....or..not.

Great mower, I want one! Great music too! :-)
I want one of these mowers! Awesome review, I have been looking forward to seeing it in action
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Go Vikings! Nice video...I'm going to buy that as well
NICE drone shot Ryan knorr
Thank you!
Great video content love my 33 inch cub Cadet but the toro looks like it is a quality mower as well
I used to have a Troy Bilt 33 which I believe is pretty much just like the cub cadet. I did like it as well but the self propel system on my toro is what really sold me on it. Very easy to use and you don't have to muscle the machine around at all.
Excellent drone shots. keep the videos coming. Have you done your 1st Milo application yet?
No Fertilizer yet. I am waiting for just a little bit warmer temps for Milo.
Mower seem to work very well
So far so good. Thanks for watching.
Love the videos bro..thinking about starting some myself on my own yard, as i have really taken up this hobby too.
I also mow about 11 yards per week on the side. Normally on the weekend. They are all only about 1/4 acre though, so relatively small.
Just curious..what is your day job? Do you only do videos on the weekend, or after work too?
Thanks for checking out the videos! I work evenings so I have mornings to do my lawn stuff and videos of it.
You bring the Dodge back home yet?? More eager to get the first mow with the new toy, or "clean the carbon" out of the Dodge? Getting my first mow on tomorrow I think. Keep em coming!!
Haha! The Dodge is still hibernating but I hope to bring it back this weekend. Sometimes I forget I have it!
Love the black wheels! I have the 2015 model and love it. I have to say it was great to hear some good tunes behind the video. Would like to know who it was if you can share. Thanks and good job!

Thanks! Ethan Meixsell - Sea of Sand is the music
Excellent video! Stay true, brother!
Thanks!
Awesome video man! I'm in the market and this one is leading the pack now. 2 questions: is there a noticeable difference between the 190cc and the 223cc? I have found a few used ones and if I can save $400 on craigslist, I will. And on one side my backyard has a pretty steep hill I have to cut. Any reason why this mower wouldn't be the right tool for that job?
Hello! So far you can tell it's a stronger motor but by how much??? Well, it's hard to say. I honestly never had much of an issue with my old one (190cc) other than I couldn't really mulch thick grass with it. I still am not sure if that is more of a deck design issue though than a motor issue. So if you can get a good used one I wouldn't rule that out. As for hills I have a pretty steep one in the back of my yard. It's not too bad but I will say the older one had a little more bit more of an advantage here as well because it was lighter. The new one is a little bit heavier. Still, either one still works on the hill but you do have to muscle it a little more than a typical small push mower. Hope that helps and good luck!
Can you do an updated review of the toro timemaster?
looks great!
Thank you!
Dominating!
Always trying my best!
i am 60 and i wonder if this would be a great choice to start a small one operation lawn care for some extra money??? also can you ct as fast as you want? like 5-6 mph if you wanted to? does mower go that fast ? thax
Love the channel. Keep it up. I just picked up the 2017 Timemaster 30. How do the letters relate to the height of cut? Looks like G is the highest at 4.25 and A is the lowest at 1.25 My guess is A= 1.25 B=1.75 C=2.25 D=2.75 E=3.25 F=3.75 G=4.25 What level do you cut at in the middle of Summer? I also ordered the Hardline Hour/Tach meter that you had. Is it just simply wrapping it around the spark plug wire and taping off with electrical tape? Thanks .
Yep you're exactly right on those letters and the cut heights you mentioned. I'm cutting on C or 3.25" - Yes it's just wrapping it around the spark plug wire and they actually give you a zip tie so you can tighten it to the wire itself.
how long does it take you to mow your lawn, eg mulching or bagging - without all the extras, just mowing and cleanup :)
You should move to central Ohio. I've already mowed 5 times. 😉
Did your dog pop a squat at 2:20?
I wondered if anyone would catch that. Haha
Yes, she wanted to be in the video apparently.
Looking great!
Thanks!
Nice lawn, dominating for sure. Any specific reason why you like to side discharge and not just mulch?
Not really I guess I just feel like I get a slightly cleaner cut when side discharging.
ryanknorr nice ! I'm going to give it a try. I've always mulched so this is new to me.
Cool. Just make sure you don't let the grass get too long or you'll end up with a layer of clippings on top of the grass and you don't want that.
ryanknorr yeah good point. Thank you for the advice, I'm currently checking out your shampoo application videos. I'm looking for a thick green lawn so I'm doing the best I can for that. I will be applying milo this weekend as well.
Nice Drone video!!
Thanks!
I have a toro time master and I saw yours put down the stripes BUT you are not using a striping system kit at least not from the video I was watching. How did you do it? Thanks
No striping kit, you're correct. I just have a super thick yard and mow it pretty tall. That's basically it!
Another great video Ryan.."
Thank you
I'm pretty sure these mowers only use about 60-70% of the available power and that you can adjust some things to get a lot more power out of it. I would go with high lift blades too. I'm prob going to be getting one of these soon. Did you get yours from homedepot? Was thinking of getting it there becaus of the no hastle return etc...
I just bought a tach for it so I'll be able to see what rpm the motor is running here very soon. It comes with high lift blades and they seem to work fine. I got mine from a local dealer.
Do you prefer using side chute rather than mulching?
That is a great mower Ryan. I honestly don't know how you get the quality stripes without a striping it or something weighing down a guard of some kind on the back of the mower. How are the dead spots in the backyard coming in?
oh, I meant to ask you, can you remind me what specific seed you used last year? what company was it from and what was it called?
Worked on a video today more about those dead spots so that will be coming out soon. Seed was from Seed Superstore and it was called SS9000 Perennial Rye Blend
How many sq’ is your yard and how long does it take with the TimeMaster? I have 12k and deciding on mowers.
are anti rust coatings worth putting on a time master deck or are those more of a gimmick?
You said you gonna try out the mulching with the new power on the engine what’s going on
Hi,that mower is good for do 5 yards a week,,let me know thanks
So after using the mower in tall wet grass, does it still have the same problem as the 2016 ones in older?
Additionally, would you recommend this mower.
My old one could cut through wet tall grass fine as long as was side discharging. This one feels a little stronger motor wise so I think it would be ok but I haven't tried it personally. I'd recommend it if you are looking for something around that price point.
What’s a good price for a used 2017 timemaster is good working condition?
Love my TimeMaster, I subbed, going to check out your other videos.
Glad to have you. I think you'll find some other videos you enjoy.
Why did you upgrade to the newer timemaster? Any issues with your previous mower? I want to buy one but and want to make sure it lasts a long time. Thanks!
No issue...just wanted to try the newer one
had toro upgraded the mowers problems
You can almost tell where your yard stops and the neighbors yard begins.
If you had a choice over the new 2017 timemaster vs the turfmaster which would take. Price point is about the same at local pawn shop for a used turfmaster but a don't know the history or hours. Any advice??
Turfmaster is supposed to be beefier since it's made with commercial use in mind. Without knowing hours or maintenance it's really hard to say which one I would choose.
ryanknorr alright thanks
Great video and nice striping! Good work.
Thank you!
hey Ryan, how's the timemaster now? I'm planning to get one too but after reading reviews it's making me think twice on getting one. Thanks
I have seen some poor reviews as well. So far I had one issue with my pull cord and the dealer took it apart and restrung the cord, but other than that, no issues.
Would you recommend getting it thru a dealer rather than from a big box store?
dannaclarin absolutely and if you have one that you can work with easily that's even better. You can get warranty work done at dealer but when you purchase from them they normally put you more on a priority list. That's my experience at least.

what's your lawn sgft? How time do you think it takes to cut it with the timemaster? I have 10,000sgft and it would take me 1hr to do everything, with a 21" push mower.
Mine is about 11,000 sq ft and I'd say it probably takes me around 45 minutes or a little less.
Do you cut on A,B,C,D or E
do you have any problems starting the mower,have red some reviews saying they had trouble starting
Personally I have not. I read some mixed reviews as well but so far so good for me.
Usually for the first cut of the year you wanna mow lower. How high did you cut?
2.75" - my yard can't go much lower or I have areas that start to scalp.
Thank you buddy
I still had lots of leave before the winter on my lawn, so last weekend it finally warmed up here and I went to rake it, but my grass almost looks very compacted and white, I tried raking and just ripped out whatever I touched. what should I do?
Sounds like maybe snow mold but I can't say for sure. Definitely see if you can remove the leaves without causing too much damage and then might have to put some seed down.
ryanknorr well I ended up ripping up most of my grass trying to rake up the leaves and maple tree seeds, I think leaving my grass so long and getting the big snowfalls made the grass get so compacted, I'll just buy seed and start over i guess
Unfortunately sometimes it's the best option.
Which one is better hrx or this one?
I've never used an hrx so can't comment on that but I'm sure someone might be able to chime in.
ryanknorr ok thanks
Does it bag well? I had the older version, sold it because it was always clogging. Info please
I've never had problems with either one bagging but this one packs the bag full.
ryanknorr thank you
Who is that on the instrumental track??
D. Wilson Sr. UA-cam free music
Ryan does it have a hose attachment to clean under the deck?
Yes it does. I tried it and didn't have much luck with it and really it just creates a big green slime mess but maybe others have better luck.
ryanknorr so it doesn't do a great job of cleaning under the deck?
Also, have you put down any fertilizer since late last fall?
No I don't think it does a very good job at all. But not the end of the world. I usually scrape and clean it by tipping the mower on its side.
No fertilizer yet this spring.
💯
Nice aerial view. Way to dominate your neighbor!!
Thanks!
How do u adjust the rpm ?
There's a spring on the very front kind of behind a cover that you just pull toward you very slightly to stretch the spring a little tighter.
Ryan Knorr Lawn Care thank you
Your yard puts your neighbors yard to shame
It helps that I try and they really don't. :)
#stripin the heck out of it
minisoda wild getting ass kicked
did you have to rub it in? haha
ryanknorr I was a fan of them until this dreadful playoff run
But they were never my favorite team just one a liked. Idk what's going on with them
Ugh... Your neighbor suck. Tell me to treat/fertilize their lawn.
Well some people aren't as crazy as I am!
Seems like an info-mercial. :(
