Looking for a new mower and liked the Exmark Quest 50", in checking into competing models I looked at the Toro 5060 and it appears to be and identical machine. Since Toro bought Exmark it does not suprise me that they have put this in at the lower end, but does anyone know about the performance of this mower. I will be using it to mow about 5 ac and am worried it is not "commercial enough" to stand up.
Comparison New Exmark Quest identical for the Toro 5060?

Hello and WELCOME to LMF...
I myself would want more deck size for mowing 5 acres... 6 foot or more...
The Quest as a few positive reviews om TBN (tractorbynet.com) **EXMARK QUEST ZTR: 1 Year Owner Update - TractorByNet.com
They seem happy with theirs.
50 inch just seems small to me, for your mowing it will take a while.... :smile:KennyV

I just came from my local Exmark dealer and the 50" Quest with 26HP Kawasaki had a 3 year warranty. In addition, I asked about Toro and was told that Exmark builds the frames and Toro just uses their own decks. So don't think the Toro quality is going to be the same as the Exmark.

Nope. Looking at it right now. It says 26HP HP.right under the Kawasaki name. The new 2013 42" they have sitting her has a 24 HP KW engine. Maybe that's the one you were thinking of. But the 50" definitely has the 26 HP.

Quest 42" E series has a FR651v also known as a 22hp. Quest 50" E series and quest S series 42 and 50 have a FR691v also known as a 24hp. That's a fact. I sale them for a living.
