Q:can this tow a cart?
by|Nov 5, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Hi, Steve! Thanks for your question. This unit #77401, has a hitch bracket for towing attachments — the towed weight must not exceed the weight of the machine and operator. We would recommend reading through towing safety before operation on page 17 of the manual at: https://www.toro.com/getpub/219109. Thanks!

by|Nov 6, 2023

    A:  11/15 = Be aware that 100% of ALL {ZTR} style Mowers can suddenly DO wheelies, w/ Casters leaving earth and zero control "IF" ever stopped & re-started up a slight grade, when towing....TORO often stated (80) # MAX on hitch.

            Delivered to my house, ready to mow, representative went through everything and gave us some valuable tips. Operating the mower was a little tricky at first but we soon got used to the light controls. Very straight forward machine, easy maintenance.

              Love my Toro
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Toro as a refurbished unit from a popular store. It was pretty worn, rust here and there and stickers pealing off. The engine sounds awesome, very powerful, mows the lawn very well. Once when mowing, it only turned left.. after tightening the armature, worked great. A couple mows later, it wouldn't turn any direction. I cleaned all the grass off (grass was rather tall) and it has worked great since. Love my Toro, hope I didn't make a mistake by getting a refurbished model..because I got a great deal.

              My new mower!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I'm new to the Zero-turn movement! My wife and I sat on many mowers on display, this one just felt the best. As for that, it seems like most others sit a little higher as far as seat placement, the Toro just feels a little better for a lower center of gravity. The cut is great, but I also bought the Recycler option after my first run. I love the way this cuts now, it's head-and-shoulders above the push mower and my other rider, an older Murray. With my knee issues, this design was actually better for getting on and off. That cutout between the front wheels is fantastic! None of the other had that. The storage under the seat? Not a lot of use for it, but getting the mower from the shed yesterday, a bungee cord got tangled under the deck, I found it while in the front yard before I engaged the blades. Guess where I put it? My almost-half acre lawn now takes about 30 minutes to cut, vs 1.5 to 2 hours with the push mower. Once I conquered the nuances of the drive system, I've gone from Turtle mode to Trim mode! It's so much easier and faster, I actually want to go out in the West Coast Central Florida heat and cut the grass! I also added an hour meter. Not the factory option, but a simple mechanical gage that fits in the same place. I'll more than likely be changing the oil every new season, as I'm sure I won't get to the 25 hour mark (after the first 5) per year. I may even add lights... Oh - Love the V-Twin!!!

              Excellent quality mower only flaws are low quality battery, and the tube to drain oil is impossible to remove.
