Toro TimeMaster - Full Review

This video is sponsored by Toro. It would be the same even if it was not sponsored. This is the mower I have been wanting and it delivered 100% on my expectations.

I guess my wife is right - that extra 1/4 inch does make a difference...

I love how you can leave it running rather than having to restart it every time you have to move the picnic table or the kids toys

I’m ten years old not joking and my dad has bought this mower and I mowed the backyard and this thing is amazing

[punkgunzzyoutube]

I don't even have a lawn and you have me considering buying one.

My mother will be 83 this year and still mows her own yard (which isn't a flat yard). She bought a new Toro last year and loves it. The dealer told her NOT to use the wash-out port though. He explained that unless you can wash it out and completely dry it you should avoid using it.

Bought a timemaster last week from my local dealer. Love it! My wife hasn’t noticed yet :)

Was on the fence for a while between the timemaster, Honda hrx & super recycler. Almost went with one of the others b/c of the cut quality. But the timemaster far exceeded my expectations. I have about 13k sq feet of super thick tall fescue and it’s looking great. I’ve used it twice now and even in slightly wet grass it mulched perfectly. No a single clump and did not fray at all. Sharp blades help but I intend on keeping them that way.

Briggs & Stratton engines are fine if you’re diligent with the maintenance. I also use ethanol free gas which makes a big difference. My old mower is a basic 7 year old craftsman with a brigs engine. That has always started on the first pull.

Very pleased with timemaster so far and would highly recommend it!

I just bought a 223cc 2019 model and love it. It mulches as good as my Honda HRX 217 and cut my time literally in half...60 minutes to 30 minutes. It has plenty of power to move through the grass...seems like faster than I could with my 200cc Honda. I find that I mow a faster speed with the personal pace system vs select drive and I don't have to overlap the cut as much. I think the Honda only gave my about 18 inches due to the blade not fully overlapping the wheels. I probably get a full 28 to 30 inches with the Time Master. Time will tell how it holds up. I hope it's just simple maintenance and changing belts. I hope they have fixed the former transmission problems I have heard about. I have had great luck with a Toro snow blower for nearly 20 years, so feel confident in the Time Master.

I have had Toro mowers (and other products) for over 25 years and they NEVER let me down. The best part about buying a Toro from an actual dealer is that they usually stock the replacement parts for the mowers that they sell. Plus, you can still get the parts for a Toro that is 20+ years old, which is not the case with some other "off brand" mowers.

[nicholastharrington]

I bought mine this past spring and I've mowed my lawn at least once a week since then with absolutely no issues. Make sure to get the 2017 model though. It has bigger engine, 223cc instead of 190cc for previous years. Also older models have transmission issues. From what I understand, they have been resolved. No problems with mine. If cutting tall overgrown lawn, you need to side discharge instead of mulch to keep from choking up.

Really enjoying your videos. Within a only a few weeks of watching your videos, I am now throwing down milo and just purchased a timemaster, all because of you. Keep up the great work.

[nhammerschmidt]

I bought this mower today after watching your review and the review you posted on the new HRX217 series. I forgot about a gas shut off valve in my front lawn and caused major damage to my 7 year old Honda. Rather than pay $400 to fix it I decided to replace it. Your review for this mower was convincing and made my decision for me. Thank you.

[colinburfeind]

Thumbs up to toro letting you be you in this one, the fact that it’s not all over the top happy and scripted makes it so much more believable and, well, you which us lawncare nuts like. Keep up the good work

[ivaraasen]

Used my new Timemaster for the first time today in our front yard, and the results are pretty close to amazing. Not perfect yet, but much nicer looking than the local mower guy who has been cutting for us the last three summers. Backyard tomorrow morning, and then repeat in four days, rain permitting here in Mid-Michigan. Happened upon this particular mower by watching your various videos last summer, and have learned a whole lot more about lawncare in that time. 2019 will be the summer that I dominate our neighbors' lawns. Thanks Allyn!

Up here in Wyoming it's snowed once already so the lawn season is almost over for me 😫 thanks so much for ur videos lawn care nut! My lawn is a rental lot and last year I had no idea as to wat I was doing but wanted a lawn, I started with no grass at all! Failed miserably! Had no lawn at the end of last year, found u in June this year, and my lawn is now an eye catcher from the curb! Still needs work but already getting attention! Just wanted to thank you and let u know that ur genius is rock solid up here in Wyoming! Ur videos will get me through this winter ! So glad u didn't get hammered to hard with Irma! I will be a proud toro owner next year as well!

i have a lightly used 2013 time cutter i bought early this spring, changed the oil, sharpened the blades and i have at least 20-1 hour cuts of my lawn this summer...works awesome, i modified the side chute with a bungy cord to hold the door wide open and the clippings go shooting out nicely with no clumping...best $550 iv'e spent in a while

[dukeaboy]

I got the Toro time master in March and I absolutely love it!!! I have a thick lawn that I usually don't get to mow until it's longer than I would like never had a problem with it clogging....mulch is great and bags great...love this beast!!!

[TyeWills]

Keep the blades sharp and it's a great mower.
Put an hour meter on it so you can nail those service intervals.

I just got a 22" Recycler this past Spring (20333) and I agree, getting from a dealer is waaay better than from a "big box store."  I found websites where people complain about Toros and invariably they had purchased them from HD (most complaints were not starting after 2 or 3 years (kept ethanol gas in the tank) and "the wheel just fell off."  My . . . not local (they suck) but "nearby" dealership has been doing great by me - like you, they put it together, added gas & oil and ran me through a short tutorial of all the features.  They also have the pickup & delivery for maintenance/winterizing.  And they double checked the wheels, at my request, that they were on tight and straight, so they wouldn't get chewed up by the gears (and the wheels have metal gears, not plastic!)

Best mower I have ever owned. Bought mine used. It's a beast. Makes grest stripes. Has more than enough power. No mower is perfect for every situation. Works perfectly for my 1/2 acre with slight grade. Got my 2016 model for $500. If u are on the fence, keep an eye on Craigslist, Letgo, etc... found mine on Craigslist. Good luck.

[curtLogic]

If you're thinking about it, buy it! It's worth it. LCN hit all the good points. After 2 months of use, I'm still really happy with my Timemaster!
