I bought the Toro TimeMaster 30" just last week. I am a homeowner, and only mow my own lawn, so not into commercial or multiple cuttings at all.
This TimeMaster machine is the finest mower I've ever owned. My lawn is large but not huge... I was using my 21" Toro (2009 Model) and it was taking about 1.5 hours to mow. As usual the cut quality of Toro machines is always excellent and my yard looks great.
With the new 30" machine, I was finished in 45 minutes! Plus, with the wide stance and wide tires, it now looks professionally manicured.
The time saving is not only in the extra 9" of cut, but also in the speed of the Personal Pace system. The 21" model has a speed (I'm guessing) of about 3.5 mph. With the new TimeMaster, I can crank it up to 5.25 mph and this thing will fly!
I'm really into fitness and this definitely takes the place of my daily 3 mile run..... :wink:
Highly recommended. :thumbsup:
