I mow about an acre of fescue containing lots of oak trees that drop a zillion leaves between October and December. I came dangerously close to buying a Cyclone Rake to vacuum them up but decided to postpone doing so as it would be nearly a $2500.00 expenditure. I decided to try to mulch them...

I bought a 2016 Toro Titan ZX4800 and I need to change the blades which I haven't done before on a riding mower. The operator's manual (Model 74861) mentions just raising the deck to its highest cutting setting to change the blades (4.25 inch cut maximum option). The ZTR weighs 740 pounds. The...

It now has 8 hours on it and it's time for it's first oil change. I've read the manual and it seems simple enough although the drain hose doesn't appear to be very long. The drain end of it is attached to the frame with a plastic tie. Bear with me if these questions are dumb, but I've never...

I have a 2016 Toro Titan ZX4800. The owner's manual recommends that the anti-scalp wheels should be adjusted as close to the deck height setting as possible. And, there are four available slots. That's easy enough to understand if the deck height is set at whole numbers (e.g. 1", 2", 3" or...

Need to buy a mower (preferably 190cc) that is self propelled and that bags well without a lot of clippings blowing out due to a poor fit and also has a side discharge so I believe that excludes Honda mowers. I've read countless reviews on the Toro, Cub Cadet, Husquvarna and Craftsman brands in...

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a ZTX 42 which the dealer is selling for $3199. Some of the reviews on the Gravely website indicate many complaints regarding the SmartChoke feature sticking and I don't see mention of a fix for it. One guy wrote that the solenoid went out not long...

I have just under an acre of mostly level grass to cut. I was considering getting a Gravely ZT 42 (Kohler 7000 V Twin) for $2699 when I stumbled upon the Toro. I know this is probably overkill for my needs, but the ZX4800 is touted as a commercial grade mower with an MSRP of $5399. I can get...

Toro Titan ZX4800 w/Kohler Confidant 21 hp Engine I have just under an acre of mostly level grass to cut. I was considering getting a Gravely ZT 42 for $2699 when I stumbled upon the Toro. I know this is probably overkill for my needs, but the ZX4800 is touted as a commercial grade mower with...

This post may be a bit long and, for that, I apologize in advance, but I have got to get this off my chest. I am just a regular guy who has been paying to have my lawn cut for the past few years and now that I've recently retired at a relatively young age, I have the time to do it myself and...

I'm getting very close to purchasing the X350 with the Mulch Control kit which will bring the total to just under $3400. I pretty much narrowed it down to this model vs. the S240, but there is about a $900 difference (excluding the mulch kit). Either tractor would work for my mowing situation...

Hi.... I am considering purchasing one of these two mowers for mowing just under an acre of mostly flat residential turf which contains sections of Bermuda and fescue grass. There are some groups of trees on the property, but they should be able to easily be navigated with a lawn tractor. I...

Hi..... I'm leaning toward buying an Enduro XT2 LX46, but while doing research on Cub Cadet tractors I've seen several posts from CC owners who say that the bright yellow color seems to attract bees and flies. I've only seen a few posts on this topic, but, before I pull the trigger on buying a...
