Toro's new My ride Suspension

[Ric]

That set-up from Toro looks like a game changer. Need to make it for other models tho..

As to the Ferris, I believe Simplicity has a same kind of set-up too..

I was at the shop and I see the Scag Cheetah has a suspension system on theirs and Toro has installed a suspension system on The Exmarks. The Shop Manager said they would probably have the MY Ride system on all the Z-masters by the start of next season. It's really funny because there all set up different.

I guess that's one way the Toro beats the Ferris....it seems like the suspension is more customizable on the Toro (firm, soft, etc.)

Yeah there fully adjustable, more so than Scag I looked at yesterday. I don't think the Exmarks are same set uo as the Toro though but I haven't had a chance to see one of theirs yet, just in a picture but it looks similar to the Scag.

I have to stop by my Toro Dealer tomorrow, I'll see if they have both.

I sat on a new Toro with the "My Ride" set-up today.. You have to step on the deck to climb UP on it.. Tall seating area, did not realize the whole floor w/ seat is suspended.

I stepped on the floor & the suspension moved, which I wasn't expecting. But once seated, that is one comfy set-up.. I didn't bother to ask price, since it is way over kill for my needs.

Looked like a pretty serious machine to me..

I'd like to see one and sit on one to see what they are but they don't have any at the dealership yet. They have the 2000 and 3000 models on the floor and the My Ride are do in shortly. Not to get off the subject but I did get to compare the Toro Grandstand 36" side by side with the Scag 36" V Ride and The Scag doesn't compare, doesn't even come close.

Ric- It was wild sitting up so high, & fully suspended. I would have enjoyed testing it. They only had the one, when I was there. But I was told they have orders for them already. I remember when 18 wheelers cabs could have air ride seperate from the frame & ground. Never liked that as you couldn't 'feel' the road. But this is much different, I gotta find out what they cost. (not buying, just a curious dude)..

I can imagine it is and sitting so high is one of my concerns. The Z Master mower along with Exmark has the lowest center of gravity in a zero turn that I know of and Toro changed that with the MY Ride not that you still can't get the regular model but it makes me wonder about it will do holding hills and slopes. Wonder how long before you'll see it on the Exmark?
