New 2020 Toro Time Cutter Zero-Turn Mowers!
Toro has refreshed all of the residential zero-turn mowers for 2020! They have made the different models much easier to understand to help you decide which one is best for you. They have improved the ergonomics, added much-needed features and made improvements to decks and the mower itself.
This article will explain the TimeCutter Series.
Toro has simplified the residential model lines for 2020 into three series. The TimeCutter, Titan and Z Master. The TimeCutter line is the one most of us need. It is designed to cut perfectly your residential lawn. The Titan line is the one most of us want for acreages and is built heavier to handle lawns and pastures. The Titan line is not only a high-end residential but also an entry-level commercial line. It will handle all your grass cutting needs. If you spend more than 2-3 hours mowing every week the Titan is the line you want. The Z Master is a commercial mower that also works well for large residential properties.
MyRide is available in the TimeCutter, Titan and Z Master lines.
This article will explain the TimeCutter Series. If you want an even stronger mower, check out the Titan series here: Toro Titan Zero Turn Mowers.
Toro Time Cutter Zero Turn Mowers
I’m going to write about all the features first and then I’ll list the models and the best places to buy them.
The Time Cutter Series is available through The Home Depot, Tractor Supply, ACME Tools and your local Toro Dealer.

Timecutter: The Timecutter series is designed for finished lawns up to 5 acres. Most of you reading this article will find the Time Cutter is the best choice for your typical suburban yard. (The Titan and Z Master series are designed for both finished lawns and rough pastures)
Decks: The Time Cutter series now offers five different decks. These decks are designed to give you the best cut, the best mulching, and the best bagging yet. The five different decks are: 42-inch stamped deck, 42, 50, 54 and 60-inch fabricated decks. All fabricated decks are Toro’s industry-leading IronForged™ Cutting System. The fabricated decks are all 10 gauge (3/32 inch) steel with reinforced edges, wear strips and spindle areas. All models have adjustable front anti-scalp wheels. Flexible, poly discharge chute and 18,300 feet-per-minute blade tip speed.
New – Quick Detach spindle covers. The spindle covers are easy to remove without tools for cleaning the top of the deck.
Tires: Large 11X4 front tires help you get the best cut and a better ride. 18 inch rear tires are the widest available for the size of the decks and offer great traction and floatation. The 18 inch rear tires are also sized to give you up to 7 mph mowing speed and won’t overload the transmissions mowing slopes.
Engines: Engines are offered from Toro, Kohler, and Kawasaki and in sizes ranging from 454cc to 708cc (24.5 HP) depending on the model. Toro engines are quickly proving themselves to be one of the best engine lines in the industry for residential use. Ease to replace air filters. It comes with a very easy to use oil drain tube so you can easily drain the oil into a container and never get any on the mower itself. Even the oil filter is easily accessible. The air cleaner cover is designed so that you put the air filter in the right way every time.
Smart Speed on all Time Cutter models. This feature allows you to keep the blade tip speed up so your cut is always perfect, yet slow the mower down for more accurate trimming, towing lawn carts/lawn rollers and safer mowing on slopes. Put the mower in MOW: 7 mph (3 mph reverse) for flat-out-high speed mowing, TRIM: 5.5 mph (2.4 mph reverse) for better control when mowing slopes, trimming around delicate plants and landscaping, or TOW: 4 mph (1.7 mph reverse) for pulling heavy loads like lawn roller, sweepers and yard carts full of firewood.
All frames are 10 gauge steel.
Replaceable front axle hub: These cast aluminum hubs are designed to break before you bend the frame if you hit something hard, For example, if you are mowing at full speed and you run into a tree with the front axle the hub will break instead of bending the frame. (bending the frame totals out the mower. This is a great feature if this is your first zero-turn!)
Swept-back front axle: This gives you the closer trimming capabilities than other brands and models where the front axle angles forward. Closer cutting means less time-consuming trimming.
Step-Through Front or MyRide:
Models, including 42-inch models, are offered with step-through fronts or MyRide Suspension.
Step-Through: Only one other manufacturer offers an easy on step through front. (Country Clipper)
Getting on and off the Time Cutter step-through is very easy. The front footrest has a cut-out so you can get on and off the machine from the front. No more stepping across the deck to get on. There is an optional hand bar available to assist you in getting on the mower and getting up out of the seat.
Under-seat storage cubby on step-through models.
MyRide: The unique MyRide suspension isolates you from the bumps, ruts and general beating ZTRs will give when mowing rough ground. Unlike other manufacturers that suspend the entire mower including the deck the MyRide only suspends the operator. This allows the mower to give you the best cut and the best traction when mowing rough turf.
Easy to adjust MyRide. Change the softness or hardness right from the seat. This is great if multiple people use the mower because they can adjust the ride that best suits them. The MyRide suspension completely allows the operator to ride independently of the mower itself. This allows the mower deck and tires to run with the ground contours giving you the best possible cut.
Note: Other mowers with front and rear axle suspension allow the deck to bounce giving you a wavy or not so good of a cut. The MyRIDE is different. The operator (you) are suspended – not the entire mower. This gives you a much more even cut. If your lawn is rough you can quickly see the difference in the cut between the MyRdie mowers and other brands that have springs and shocks right on the axles. Beware of the hype: Just because it’s patented doesn’t mean it’s better…
Styling: Rear fenders are designed to keep mud and moisture off you and the mower give full all-around visibility to see when trimming. Cup Holder on all models. Tool Cubby on step-through models
Seat: Step through units have a nice, comfortable, handcrafted seat. MyRide units have a deluxe seat with armrests. Easy to adjust seat slide on the step through and quick up-top lever to adjust the seat on the MyRide.
Fuel Capacity: 3 gal / 11.4 L on all TimeCutter Models!
Transmissions: The Hydro-Gear ZT2100 and ZT2200 will be very reliable on these models. Why? The Smart Speed control allows you to run full speed for flat areas and slow down without reducing the blade speed for towing, and hills. Slow for trimming and new operators just learning the mower. Tow with higher torque for pulling yard carts, lawn rollers, etc., and mowing slopes. Fast for flat open areas.
The 60-inch model (75760) uses stronger ZT2800 Transmissions.
Hydraulic Dampeners: Hydraulic Dampeners on the steering levers smooth out the operation. No jerkiness when learning to drive it. The deck automatically disengages and the brake automatically sets when you move the levers out to get on and off the mower. The engine stays running with the mower in park.
Warranty: 3-year / unlimited hour residential warranty**
