              More that everything expected!
              So easy to use, cuts evenly quickly in all areas previously difficult to get through. Starts smoothly and runs just as smooth as new car would! I highly recommend this product for anyone interested in a mower for their yard! My wife has found it so easy to use that she now mows the lawn at times!

              I now look forward to cutting grass....
              I love my mower....and " the lawnmower store " ( Savannah Ga ) who sold it to me !!!! It's not maintenance free, but nothing mechanical ever is. I now have green slime in two of my wheels, but so far that has fixed the " leaking tire " problem. I haven't found a nail or reason for the leaks,...but now I check air pressures before each use. I am writing this to share my experiences, this last observation took a while to figure out,...anyway ,..shortly after i purchased it it just shut off. thinking it may be out of gas I got off and walked back to the garage to get more fuel,...it was not empty but i topped it off and it ran fine the rest of the day. . the next time this occurred,..I took my headphones off and checked the fuel level, when I opened the tank ,..it " whooshed " evidently it is not venting properly and causing a " vapor lock " Now anytime I hear it begin to falter ,..I just crack the cap and it recovers. its a very intermittent problem, maybe once a month.... 2nd season

                Well build and mowes well
                The mower is excellent, however, when the seat is lifted leaves dirt or anything can fall in around the battery and frame. It would be nice if a plate would be there to cover the battery. Note picture below for a possible fix

                  First Zero Turn Mower
                  This is my first zero turn mower. I love this mower on the way it mows & operates. I always bag my clippings in the past & with this mower you do not have too. The mower really chop up the clippings. I really like the hitch on the back & really like the smart settings too. The only problem I had was with the cup holder being too small of a opening for my thermos cup. Again GREAT zero turn mower & I now love mowing my lawn. Can I get a Torro cup & a Torro black hat with the bull on front of hat?

                  This mower took a little use to feel comfortable, since I have never used a zero turn before. My main reason for buying it is tha I can no longer use a riding mower with a clutch. My left leg won't allow it. The Timecutter served this purpose well. I purchased a mulching kit online and took it back to Home Depot and they installed it for me, no charge. My wife can also use it.

                  Only a few hours of use, so cannot speak to reliability or other long term observations. Initial impression is very good. Powerful mowing for sure. The SMART SPEED feature is nice, especially for towing yard rake, etc. In MOW (highed speed), the slow speed tight cornering is a little jerky. That may be a getting used to it item. If the grass is any kind of damp, the rear tires will spin or slide. Not sure if this is tread design, air pressure or some other issue. Comfortable, easy to operate; yes it scores high in these categories. Not a gas guzzler like the CUB CADET was... :)

                    For a while I wasn't sure I made a good purchase
                    This is my first zero turn mower, the man who delivered it explained all the features and I decided I would practice driving it before attempting to mow. I drove it around my lot for about half an hour then parked it in the garage. The next day I thought I would try to mow. I started the mower but when I lowered the motion levers the engine shut off. I tried over and over but I ended up having to have it repaired by the people who delivered it. It took about 2 weeks for them to get the parts, repair it and get it back to me. I now have mowed the grass 3 times and must say that it works great. It is easier on gas than my old mower even though it is twice the horsepower. The only minor complaint I have is if you stop the mower and let the engine run the exhaust will scorch the grass.

                    Love it but was over charged
                    Love it & can't wait to cut the grass every week. What took me hours before now only take 30 to 45 minutes. The only thing was I feel I was over charged by Home Depot for it but that was my own fault.

                    Great Mower!
                    Had my Torro 7 years now and no problems. Only have 1/2 acre but its hilly and that is why I have it. I change the oil and sharpen the blades and that is it. This year I broke down and bought new blades and rear tires. Had to get a new battery last year. Great machine and easy to use once you get the hang of it. I put a 4 inch angle on the front so I could mount a trailer ball to push things around. See photo of the wheel barrow I welded up so I can move stuff around my yard. Really handy to have a dump card in front. I got mine from a Toro Dealer because they had no interest financing. Also have the bagger attachment which is great for picking up leaves. One bag has a small hole in the bottom now but been using duct tape on it for the last two years and its holding well. Great mower.
