One dealer sold both Toro & Hustler. He said that he thought Hustler made a far superior product at the residential level. However I couldn’t help but notice he didn’t have any residential Toros on his floor. Was he just trying to move the stock he had or is hustler really better? Comparing specs between similar models they seem to close to call for me

Dealers are salespeople. Enough said.

reading reviews also helped...most of the low reviews with the toros have to do with the parking brake module either locking up the machine or killing the battery...

I have problems wit them, but I don't own one, just try to service them.
The customers do not seem to have any problems with them after they get used to them.
And yes I generally flatten the battery cause I set them wrong overnight.

There are a few TimeCutters in my area & they all seem to be doing good. Including mine.

I do see Kohler has lowered it's engine warranty to only 2 years. My KW was 3 years.
