Questions and Answers for Toro TimeCutter MX5050 50 in. Fab 24 HP V-Twin Zero-Turn Riding Mower with Smart Speed

A:  I think the Toro Zero turn machine will work great for you in South Carolina.

A:  Synthetic oils meeting the API classification in the operators manual may be used. Oil changes should still be performed at recommended intervals. Thank you.

A:  Thank you for your question. Traditional zero turn mowers have front caster wheels making it more difficult to drive in a straight line when mowing across a sloped surface. The Toro TimeCutter zero turn tractors have steerable front wheels that make them perform very well on sloped surfaces. Toro recommends that the TimeCutter zero turns not be used on slopes greater than 15 degrees.

A:  It's not good on steep inclines. I also have used a JD L120(a standard rider with a 48" deck) and that does better. You can do shallow inclines once you get the hang of it but anything more than gentle slope will be a little difficult. One of the (very few) downsides of a zero turn.
