I may be 6 months late but this video has sold me on this. Thank you for taking the time to put this video out to help potential buyers like me

Finally, someone did a real test with this mower. Thanks for spending the time to make this video. I cut 30 properties a week and have used a regular timemaster for the last 4 years. I'm definitely sold. I do have a question. Does the manual say how many square feet a 10 amp hour battery can mow on normal speed?

[TackleFarm]

Many thanks. This is exactly the demo I was looking for. I have the gas Timemaster now, and was thinking of selling it and switching to the etimemaster model. Thanks!😊

I've had my time master for 12 years, no problems, just replaced the magneto/spark cable once that's it.

Thanks, probably the best video I’ve seen yet on the electric timemaster or Turfmaster

[daflea]

Nice vid, thank you. Looking at the commercial unit but this demo was very helpful

[AppleFanX]

Excellent review Paul!
Thanks, Lindsay

Great video and awesome explanations for each cut. I have a dewalt mower and find that it leaves a lot of stragglers because the blade speed is not as fast as a gasoline, thus lifting the grass up to make a good cut. So I have been looking into the E time master.

If you could get a close up view on the grass of the cut quality, for gas and each electric setting that would be great!

[richardnichols]

If you want some nice grass its ok to water the lawn. Nice video!

[MacDeLorean]

Thanks for this video Paul, its nice to see a proper implementation of auto mode that still has the option to force max when desired. Are these timemasters (electric or gas) decent on slopes, or would you recommend a narrower/lighter mower instead? I have one hill that ranges from about 25 degrees up to 40 degrees.

[Tdeegs]

I have owned both and the E timemaster is definitely better and more powerful. I put the high lift blades on because I bag my zoysia front and bermuda rear lawns. It fills the bag completely with the high lift blades. Way more powerful on max in thick grass than the gas mower. This coming from a MOPAR guy w a widebody scat pack. Never thought I'd admit that I like the E better 😂.

I’ve been waiting to go electric for my mower until my current gas unit(Ariens 159cc) dies, but 10 years in she’s still kickin. Maybe I shouldn’t be changing the oil once a season every season with quality synthetic oil ha

[LL-mtnz]

Do you find you have to keep the eTimeMaster on max to match the cut quality of the gas? (Under normal conditions)

I have a 22 inch Toro 60V used it 2 years now it came with the small 6.0 ah battery. Bought the Toro 60v snow blower and have the 7.5 ah battery. The rear wheel broke on the mower after 2 years doing 3 lawns per week. Not bad. Bought a 60V super recycler while the other mower was in the shop. I also purchased a spare 7.5 ah battery. To make a long story short 6.0 battery is now only charging to 50 to 75 percent. I suspect the 3 other 7.5 ah batteries are soon going to fade and not charge fully. I just ordered a timemaster 30 gas electric start as I now have 7 properties to cut weekly. I love the electric mowers and the personal pace system. Unfortunately the batteries are not going to last forever and I think that gas is the best until battery technology advances. I also have an old Honda HRX it mows like a champ and eats like a bird just wish it had a wider deck. Can't wait for my new Toro gas Time Master. I have high hopes for it. I here good and bad tnings. I plan to upgrade the pulley system to commercial grade when the original ones fail. I had high hopes for the electric mowers but now realize that I will spend more for new batteries than the cost of the new Time Master gas mower!

[dalewiley]

At $2400 the electric model is outrageously expensive.

[troycadotte]

I have seen some feedback that the handle is “taller” than the gas model. Is that accurate?

[alonzowea]

This question may have been asked. Do you are cutting your entire lawn with the walk behind or do you also have a zero turn?

[pristinecarpetcleaning]

How long does the battery last? I have an ego mower and now that it's three years old the battery doesn't last as long and replacements are almost as much as I paid for the whole mower.

[travisgarrett]

I forgot to ask you. How long does it take to fully charge an empty battery?
