need-for-speed,
Last week I demo'd a Toro MX4260 (pretty much the same mower as yours with a few exceptions i.e. a welded deck..) and loved it.
Immediately after the demo I walked into the dealers shop and spotted a Toro MX5060 and it was love at first sight. I bought it last Monday and now have four hours on it and will put more on it today as I just installed a hitch kit. I have a 17 cu. ft. dump trailer full of tree pruning limbs that need to be hauled to my neighbors burn pile. He owns 15 acres just behind my house and has cheerfully offered me access to his burn pile any time I care to use it - heck of a good guy.
By the way, the dealer I bought it from didn't urge me to buy the bigger unit, that was my idea. Two hours after I paid for the new mower he delivered it to my home free of charge and proceeded to show me how to use it. Yes, I paid more for it than an internet purchase would have saved me, but when I need the dealer he'll be there...
Anyway, good for you and your new Toro. ZTR's turn mowing into fun and that's a good thing!
P.S. Yesterday, in the back yard, (I have 1-1/2 acres) I gave my wife a ZTR driving lesson (which she excelled at) and now she wants to learn to mow with it. Another "Who'd a thunk it scenario"
So be careful and don't show yours how much fun it is to operate or you may have to get another, cuz at this point that's what I'm considering...
