    When to do first oil change on SS5060 - Now or spring?

    I've now got 7.5 hours on my new SS 5060. I'll probably do another two cuts this season and then the machine will sit until spring. I could change the oil now, or I could wait til spring and this oil will have about 9.5 hours on it. Would it be beneficial to wait until spring to put fresh oil...

    Oil question for SS 5060

    I've just had my SS 5060 with the Kawasaki 23 hp engine for about a month now. The machine had 4.3 hours on the meter before I mowed today. I checked the oil before mowing and was surprised to see that it was just a little bit above the low mark. Oil was checked cold, in the garage, which is...

    Maiden voyage on the SS5060

    I did my first cut with my new 5060. It ran great and cut my time from 1.25 hrs to 50 mins. I had been using a Hustler Mini Fastrak with a 42 inch deck (which only cut a 36 in path). I'm pretty sure I was traveling faster on the Toro than I did on the Hustler but I'm not sure why. The...

    Toro SS5060 opinions

    I am seriously considering the Toro SS 5060 model. I have 1.25 acres to cut once a week from April through October. I'm thinking this would be a good machine for me. It's the same as the SS 5000 model except with an engine guard and a few other extras. Any reason not to get one of these...

    Any opinions on an RZ46i

    Any opinions on an RZ46i or RZ46215 Considering a new zero turn and was looking at a Husqy RZ46i online. Did a search on this forum and found nothing. Does anyone have one that can give me their review of it? It has a 23HP B&S 2 cyl. motor. What is their reputation? Edited to add: Just...

    How long do EZTs last?

    I currently have a 42" Fastrak that I got new in '07. I have approximately 280 hours on the machine and have not had any trouble so far with the EZT Hydros. The manual says that they are sealed for life. I mow 1.25 acres a week and it takes about 75 to 80 minutes a cut. What life expectancy...

    Used Fastrak 48" with 19 hp Kawasaki

    I just ran across a used Hustler Fastrak with a 48' deck and the 19hp Kawasaki motor. Based on the serial number it is an '09, bought in Sept. of '11 and only has 35 hours on the meter. I'm pretty sure I could get it for less than $3000. Hopefully more like $2500. Anyway, what do you folks...
