    Gator Blade for MX5060

    The Hi-Lift blade number is 115-5059-03 which is available all day long, (to fit a 50" deck Toro MX5060) but I'm told that Gator Blade equivalents aren't available. And, maybe that's true... I wonder if that so though, or if my supplier doesn't carry them and wants to sell what he has in stock...

    Is There A Rolls Royce (if you will) Zeroturn mower in a 54" deck?

    Or, is it always a crap shoot? Ah, I should point out in a gasoline version, as diesel isn't for me. What say you? Thanks!

    FR691V Kawasaki Engine Vs. FX691V Kawasaki engine

    With the kind help/research of nwatson99, I see the difference between a FR691V Kawasaki engine and an FX691V being the FX comes with the addition of: Dual stage canister air filter Cast-iron cylinder liners Metal engine cover Heavy-duty shift-type starter Twin barrel, internally vented...

    Do any of you have 'dampened control arms' on your ZT mower? If so, will you explain the benefit vs. non-dampened? Thanks!

    Do You Change Your Serpentine Belt Beforehand Or Wait Until They Break?

    If you do change it out before breaking, at what hour do you do so? 1000 / 2000 or ...when? Thanks! P.S. I'm primarily interested in ZT belt usage....

    FR691V Kawasaki Engine vs. other Kawasaki Engines

    How well does the FR691V Kawasaki 23 HP engine compare with say the FX? Or, any of the other Kawasaki 23 Hp engines. It's my understanding that, other the the air filtration systems being different - they're basically the same engine. Or, are they...? Do the FR series engines start with...

    Do You Mow Wet Grass?

    If so, other than possible clumping on underside of the deck or slipping on slopes is there any other reason not to? Or if it is O.K. to cut wet grass, are there any particulars to be observed, i.e. raise deck higher than you would prefer or some such? Why do I ask? In the past, I've waited...

    Do You Pull A Dump Trailer With Your Zero Turn Mower?

    If so, what's the maximum weight you'd estimate you've loaded the trailer with and away you went? My Toro MX5060 didn't come with a hitch, so I ordered one through the dealer I bought it from. I told him I needed to occasionally haul stuff with my dump trailer. He never said one word about...

    Who Wears A Surgical Mask When Mowing?

    I do. I buy Flents High Filtration Efficiency Ear-Loop Mask, (that's what's printed on the box) in other words a surgical mask. They come 20 to a box and are very inexpensive at Walmart. With the massive amount or airborne particulates produced when mowing with a zero turn, I had to find...

    Do You Throttle All The Way Down Before Turning Off The Engine?

    Or, when you quit mowing, do you shut down the engine at full throttle and not concern yourself about it? My old tractor style 46" deck, Craftsmen, powered by a 24 Hp, B & S Intek engine's manual never mentioned having to do this. So, I always left it going full blast when I killed the engine...
