They are both priced roughly the same, have similar specs and both carry 3 year unlimited hour warranties. If you dive into the specs, there are a few small differences but none of which will make a difference in your cut. If you are paying cash, buy whichever one you like the look of most. If you are financing, buy the one that has the best finance offer. The reality of it is, these are nearing the top of the consumer zero turns, but are still a skip away from commercial units. It's not to say that they will not perform well, or that they will not last a long time, it's just that you are not paying for anything that has been built or designed to take any abuse. With that being said, treat whichever machine you get with respect and be meticulous about maintenance. If it were me I would go for the Toro as well. Reasons: The 24.5 hp engine used in the Toro is essential the same as what I had in my Exmark Radius and it was both smooth and powerful. The Toro has a blade tip speed nearing 19,000 fpm which is blazing fast and should leave an excellent cut. Lastly, Toro is a 100 year old company that has been making zero turns for decades, including those which have been engineered and built for Exmark, the industry leader in commercial mowers; they know what they are doing. In the end, I do not think you will be disappointed with either.
