What's wrong with g'ol Briggs? I had Craftsman rider with it, bought in 2005, thing was indestructible. Sold it 2 years back without any issues.

Ok, so here's the review 1. Very expensive. 1350 after tax 2. Took about an hour plus to set up. Some drilling involved as the vertical bag holder frame bolt holes didn't quite lineup as they shoul. 3. No, it's not permanent install. Can be removed by removing drive belt from the pulley...

Hi all https://www.acmetools.com/toro-timecutter-hd-e-z-vac-bagger-79345/021038793450.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwyLGjBhDKARIsAFRNgW-SqwtulMyp5oGAOleD7AliWTh8vyO-nWn4vpHjfqkDjgHCZQGe688aAhOPEALw_wcB Anyone has one or similar...

Oh, and to add. With factory tiers, mower goes through mud and puddles like they are not there. I have 1.25 acre wetland lower property tier. Normally, I was bypassing those puddles, waiting for them to dry. This mower does not care, goes through several inch puddles without noticing it.

Anyhow. Record time so far. I did about 85% of the last year largest mow in 1 hr 45 min, that's with starting, rolling out, rolling back in, parking, walking to the house to check on time. I say 85% because we reduced some mowable area, dedicating it to some gardening projects. Last year mow was...

Well, I didn't mean waist high grass. 6-7 inches. Pretty much, double the cut height. If I cut at the maxx 4, I'll have to cut every week, 5+ acre. Several hours every time. If that bogs mower.... My now gone 50'' Cub didn't have that problem.

I got 60'' Timecutter with MyRide. It actually does cut crazy fast. I already did several acre mows and will do the "big" mow today. 4 acre plus. Unfortunately, I ended with Toro engine one and I can warn you - it does feel underpowered. Claimed HP is what it is, but I can tell, on tall grass...

It's aggrevating, ain't it? Like as if it's done on purpose, to make you crawl underneaTH THE DECK AND CLEAN ALL THE AGGREGATING, MIXED WITH MUD AND ROCKS, CLIPPINGS, LITERALLY EATING DIRT SAME TIME. Sorry, damn caps key always gets in my way. Anyhow. Remove the deck. Set it so that baffles face...

I just got a 60'' Timecutter MyRide Toro. 3 weeks ago or so. Only did a few trials and mulched a bunch of last year leaves, stuck by the fence. I don't really know, how well it will cut, as it's February and no real growing grass yet. So I'll call this "off the hip" impression. 1. got it online...

Great, thank you. Peak season I cut every other week.

Ok, here's what it is, and I have my reasons to have it the way I have it. I have chicken farm, fully fenced and netted. About 5 000 sf runs. Of course, there is no grass left inside runs, they ate it all. As the result, ever so often, I bag 3 large bags of grass and toss it in. They love it...

Well, I found visual answer to my question. Go to 3:03 and 4:09 here: That's future mower deck, going into powder coating. Mind you, into POWDER COATING, not into sand blasting. Noticed something? RUST. Same exactly rusted panel is powder coated at 4:09. You can, actually, see same rust stains...

Yeah, beauty is in the eye of beholder but just look at Encore product and you WILL see what I'm talking about. Build quality shows itself. Along with design. For same money, actually. And I do not have funny idea of what's reliable, I have experience of anything bolted on my mowers falling...

I had 2 Hustlers, 54 and 60, and I'd tell the tenth in a row not to buy them. 54 was falling apart continuously, it was exercise in repairs. 60 was not much better..Of course, mine were older than 2022 and 22 model does look different from what I had, though I bet, deck suspension bolts will go...

Hi all I am considering a 66" Swisher tow behind mower. Apparently, Encore 70" is not made anymore, neither is its 60" brethren, so can't have those. Swisher is next in line. I am curious, from the first hand owners, how good are they? I have rather rough terrain (not rocks, just poorly graded)...

As I am looking into Tor MyRide one, came across this thread - and this below: THE TORO ZX V-TWIN Commercial Engine We are now in year 8 with the TORO ZX and have become very confident in this engine at B T South after having sold over 2000 pieces of equipment power by the ZX. It's key features...

Sure thing. It was 100% faster to cut with 60"" Hustler, just super uncomfortable. I even added spring front struts and still, it only made it worse. But I knocked down full mow from 4.5 hr to 2.5. As in - full mow, without doing fence and trees pre-mow. Just because ZTR would go into any tight...

Ah, yes. For $13 000 I'd definitely expect some comfort. I'd rather keep running my UTV and flail. After all, I am not in lawn cut quality competition, just don't want to spend 4.5 hr every other weekend mowing.

Well, it's also night and day cost.

OK, thank you. Of course, short of test driving Myride on my property there is no REAL telling but, is it really dampening bumps and hills or not? There are no decent tow behind finish mowers. The one and only I'd buy is not available due to parts shortage. That's just an opinion on the side. I...

I came across a 50'' deck Toro with Myride at Home Depot 2 days ago. I am considering going back to ZTR and here's my question: I have total crapfor grading in my 5 acres to mow. Small hills, bumps, what not. Ride is VERY uncomfortable and painstaking, as I have to creep through the property...

Sort of resurrecting my old thread but.. I finally bought set of T blades that match my flail rotor and mounted them. As they were sold in packs of 20, and I have 32 blades stations on my flail rotor, last Saturday I replaced twenty out of 32 and did trial run. It was CLEARLY cutting better...

Well, everyone, who complains about mowing uneven property, should come here and try mine. This is why I sold 2 ZTRs. 52'' and 60''. Though they mow well and were great fun to do donuts around trees, after about an hour doing mild storm waves of grading, on my lower 3 acre lot, head felt like...

You won't maneuver around trees with tractor. I mean, you will, but it will be time wasting pain to do it. Tractors are mowers for open fields, that's about it.

I have 6 acre property and mow about 5+ of it, due to build outs and driveway. I have VERY rough 2.5 acre. VERY. Lots of hills and things of that nature. It's RPITA to mow. I had 60 inch ZTR and I could do entire mow in 2.5 hr. With trees so many, you are destined to go ZTR. The larger it gets...

You are kidding me! $223 for that piece of metal? https://www.zoro.com/mtd-link-strg-drag-rh-747-06457/i/G3658682/feature-product?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping%20feed&utm_content=free%20google%20shopping%20clicks Maybe I should just bend black pipe and shape it...

I think I have Cub Cadet XT50, with 50 inch deck and three blades. I had it for about - not sure - a year? Year and a half? Anyhow. I was rolling it out of garage, with transmission released, and noticed, that it does not want to roll. To my surprise, I noticed that it has huge toe in on front...

Well, duh.. my flail is gas engine operated and I have no doubt, it is under powered for the job, only 16 Hp. I can tell, how easily it bogs. So I have to either creep at about 2 mph, what is a killer on about 5 acre mow or deal with uncut grass left behind. Or, upgrade engine to 20 something...

This actually helped me a lot. Several owners say they get a much better cut with T hammers. I still can't find anything about T hammers vs Y blades cut videos. As in - showing actual cut, not opinions.

I have tow behind 60 inch gas powered flail. I mow about 5 acres of "meadow" with it, no saplings or shrubs or anything harsh. I have my reasons why I use it and it does great for about 3 yrs by now. Mower came with Y-blades. Problem I have with them is that they don't really cut too well. Long...

Anyone has them? There's zero reviews online. Only manufacturer pitch. I found a video of 72'' one, looks very nicely built. Small details, point towards well thought about design. Real life experience feedback would be great, thank you

Ok, so how exactly do I get to that restrictor? Tech from the place that I bought it from told me engine comes from same factory that makes Honda engines. I'm pretty sure they are identical.

Well, is there point in going from 15hp (current) to 18hp? Plenty of what looks same engine just with larger volume, I presume.

Hi all I have tow behind flail mower with this engine: 15 hp 420cc JiangDong electric start Engine has been rather reliable so far. Problem is, it is also quite underpowered for the job. I was mowing yesterday not even that tall of grass, a bit wet, and it clearly strains. Engine has...

Fabrication by numbers, that drove GM into bailout, is what is causing all this. We do not have quality fabrication anymore, we have just adequate one. Same principle, when applied to healthcare in late 80s, resulted in what we have now there.

wELL, IT'S WORKING SO FAR. BTW, BELT PN is 954-04077A NEW 794-04077A old. 134 inch long. Yes, it's LONG belt. A does not matter if you look it up. Amazon has them for $45 but 2 week or so delivery. They normally go for around $69 or so. Online order. I got mine from Oreiley as they got it for me...

Mine has only ONE belt keeper and that is on tensioner pulley. I just don't get it, how belt is supposed to stay well on PTO pulley, while running down at some 15 degrees. There is no belt keeper on PTO pulley. Unless they forgot to install it, like they shipped it ot me with missing frond deck...

Ok, my pretty much brand new CC tossed a belt yesterday for the 2nd time. Belt cam off with a big gush in it. I am in process of replacing it but, here's my dilemma. 1. why would a new mower toss belt twice in a row? Well, 1st time, I'll grant it, branch gut into pulley somehow and tossed it...

It works. Not as much faster as I thought but, handy. Also, mower threw belt Saturday and took me an hour to figure how to put it back on. Just to find out that it was twisted on the tensioner pulley backward from the factory, thus confusing me. Even with diagram. had to take tentioner apart to...

Well, I have 6 acre/25% wet land. It's mowable 5 acre or so due to build outs and driveway. Donno what floatation tires are. I use my CC on upper tier and more or less flat surefaces. I pull 60 inch flail with my Pioneer 1000 over wet areas, what is about 2+ acre, maybe a bit more. It does not...

Of course. I am fully fenced, no pets. Only countless mole mounds. Gods, I'm so glad I have this solved..

This WILL cut my mowing time by quite some time. Like in house front, I don't need to go in circles to not toss clippings at walkway, then to clean it. Great! I have 5 acre to mow with bunch of tight corners.

Oh shoot... And I was wondering, what the heck is red triangle for..THANK YOU, Star tech.(y)

Hold on. So I actually DO HAVE reverse cutting? To be honest, I never closely looked at the switch and I mow without glasses - shame on me. I have brand spanking new LT50, just got it like 1.5 mths ago. So all I need to do is to move key to the center position and go both ways? I have WAY TOO...

Can anyone guide me how to mod my LT50 with hydrostatic so that is mows in reverse?

They sent me replacement no questions asked. It's brand new mower.

Figured out why. There is no front deck suspension bar. Stabilizer bar, deck rod, whatever the big name for the piece is. None. So deck simply dropped down onto antiscalp wheel in the front and that's it. Cub of course does not have email and customer service conveniently is 5 days a week.

Ok, so I got free LT50 as reward for 15 yrs with the company. Pulled it off shipping crate yesterday. This is what I noticed - and I am total rook to it . Deck is tilted front down at about 10-15 degrees, so that antiscalp wheels touch floor. Deck lever is in the all the way back position, what...

I have 2005 Caraftsman riding mower with Intek 18 hp OHV B&S engine. Engine surges when it starts, then evens up and runs fine. Cleaning carb didn't do much. None, really. I have all intentions to replace carb, they are not expensive but here's the problem. Can't find direct match. 697203 is...
