Toro's new My ride Suspension

[7394]

Ask & you shall recieve. Looking at it is even a bit daunting. I agree that the low center of gravity has been changed greatly with this 'my ride' set-up. (Least it sure looks like )..

Wouldn't be surprised if others do the same. Figured ExMark would be doing same..

I see that LMF put up the Exmark picture so they apparently did those at the same time as the Z Master. It wouldn't surprise me to see it on all there mower eventually.

I went down to the shop today to pick up my Z Master and I checked out the ride suspension on the Scag Cheetah and it doesn't come close to the Toro. The Toro has three coil over damper shocks, one in the front and two on the back of the seat all adjustable. The Scag has only one in the middle that is adjustable from the front of the seat. Really can't see how one can compare to three when it comes to ride.

I did see the 3 coil overs on the Z Master, looks well thought out. The Z you can rock back & forth sitting still. Gotta be comfy when flying.

I agree that about the 1 on the Scag, just doesn't 'look' like it compares.

The added cost for the My Ride suspension will be approximately $1000. Had an opportunity to test one out yesterday, on a rough lawn it is a big difference, you have to slow down because you don't feel nearly as many of the bigger bumps. I got the feeling that you will be seeing it on many other Toro models next year, but couldn't pin our rep down to anything. Don't sell Exmark so expansion to their line never came up.

I'm waiting. I'm really wanting to get on one but were always the last place to get anything down here. Dealer told me probably they would have one until Sept. I may call the Exmark dealer and see when there going to get theirs.

Wow !! $1000. for the 'my ride' set up. Wonder what the whole machine costs ?

Z Master 52" used to be around $8K to $9K according to my friend who bought his about 6 yrs ago.

The Z Master comes in the 2,3,5,6,and 7000 series so picking up one used for that price would depend on the model.

If the price of an Exmark goes up $1000 for that option it will be crazy expensive!!

The Z Masters aren't cheap. I'll bet the 3000 will be going for between 10 and 11K
