    Clogging bagger

    I'm using mulching blades with a bagger and its works real well. I too had cutting blades and would fill up six recycle cans of cut up leaves.

    Hard to start Toro Z-Turn

    Make sure the cables are tight. Mine was doing the same thing when it was brand new and I noticed the battery cables were loose. Mine probably wasn't charging while running. I also think the hour meter I installed drains the battery.

    Toro bagger fix

    I have a Toro My Ride 50 inch zero turn with a bagger attachment. Almost every time I go to open the back end, the whole back slides off. It has become a nuisance so I fix it so it won't come off. I drilled holes through those tiny stub it sits on and put a cotter pin in the holes. I did it to...

    Zero Turn with Kawasaki FR651 "Burns" Grass when stopped - What's a good solution?

    I too started to see these brown spots where I stop to empty my bags of clippings. I thought that can't be the muffler. I have a metal plate under my muffler factory made.

    Rookie mistake; Left key "on" overnight.

    It doesn't hurt to change the air filter once or twice while doing leaf clean ups. Mine gets dirty real fast. The air filter and element is inexpensive.

    Mower tucked away in the shed

    I still have some leaves on trees so I may have to do another leaf clean up. Its going to be freezing cold this weekend with maybe snow but they are calling for warmer temps some days in January. Its not unusual to have a 50 degree day I can use the zero turn to help suck up leaves.

    Chute blocker for Toro 42” fabricated deck model 75747

    I was going to install that enhancement kit and notice it isn't much of an enhancement. I'm thinking over time it will collect wet grass and leaves and they will get caked up in it. It will always need to be cleaned out. I decided to return it. I've been doing leaf clean ups with the machine...

    Today I got the bagger on my Toro My Ride. I'm thinking of buying the cover for the seat. I will buy the floor mat, assist bar and the jack you attach to the frame. And the hour meter. Which way should the hour meter be placed in that slot. Facing the outside or facing the operator?
