    Toro 74788 TimeCutter SW4200

    Thank you Rivets. I posted this in the wrong place, under Troybilt and should have been under Toro, but you still answered it. I wish I could move it but don't know how.

    Craftsman T2200

    What I was looking for was the tight turning radius. I think they had it listed at 5 or 6 inches. I've not seen that on other lawn tractors. I really want a 30 inch but what I see all have a bigger turning radius. I tried one of those older snappers but when I tried to make sharp turns with...

    Craftsman T2200

    I have a small yard with things to mow around. I noticed this Craftsman T2200 and see that it has the tight turn radius and thought something like that just might work. Is it reasonable to think of getting 400 to 500 hours of service out of one of these without very much repair other than...

    Oil???

    Oh well sgkent, but I still do appreciate all the comments and opinions. It has been quite interesting to me and gave me more ways to consider what to use and when. Thanks to all who responded.

    Oil???

    Well, not to beat a dead horse, but my thinking on the synthetic oil was that I heard that synthetic takes the heat better and that it holds up better than regular oil. So I was thinking to get longer life out of the mower, then use synthetic. I see maybe I have been over thinking this? Thank...

    Oil???

    I guess I am failing on at least one item and that is changing the oil at the end of the season. It does make sense to take out the dirty oil and put in fresh oil to store over the winter. I do believe it is very important to change the oil out with the seasons. I will keep that in mind this...

    Oil???

    The thing I am really wanting to figure out is the zinc additive. Supposedly the Toro brand oil has more zinc added. Now I know Toro doesn't make oil and they just put their label on someone elses oil, but I don't know which one it is they use or again, is it just hype to get you to buy their...

    Oil???

    My neighbor and I were talking about lawn mowers. We both have Toro Recyclers and I said I was going to have to tune up and change oil. I said I was going to put in 10-30 synthetic oil. He said you should use Toro's oil because it has added zinc for better wear on engine components. I was...

    Hands Free Toro Personal Pace

    Ok, so I had some zip ties laying around and decided to try one. There is a very fine point for running and not running for the bail, but I got it pretty close. Sometimes when I slide the zip tie to the side it keeps running. Just a very light push to the bail and it shut off. Thanks slomo...

    Hands Free Toro Personal Pace

    I have a toro personal pace lawn mower. Earlier I had a toro super recycler that I had a shoestring tied around the handle bar and the lever that drives the lawn mower or shut it off if the lever released too far. I had the shoe string tied so that I could let loose of the handle bar and lever...

    Toro Super Recycler - which engine?

    Yes, now wouldn't that be quite a plan. Not sure about the personal pace system, but I suppose there is a learning cure with it and with time it will be old hat. Thanks Rivets and happy mowing to you.
