I've already reported this to Toro, but when they "updated" the MyToro iOS app and renamed it Toro Haven, it now crashes on launch on my iPhone. Lots of reports of the same behavior in the app reviews on Apple's store. My PUC is now a paperweight since I can't run the app. And yes, I have...

Mowed for the third time today, and added a PUC, which worked as advertised. Getting the feel of the mower pretty good now. It definitely lets you know it's there (heavy), but so far that's not been a huge issue. I need to burn some fat off anyway. :p

While not variable, it does have three speeds, and I found "2nd" to fit my pace best. You can feather the drive bar to slow it down if needed.

Replaced an EGO 21" battery unit ("me-propelled") that really wasn't up to my use case (it's on its second battery and is already showing reduced run time - finally realized it's a "battery subscription service"). I got it after I retired and we downsized from a 15-acre hobby farm to a place on...

Had another session with the lawn vac today, about two hours or so. The tractor ran perfectly, and I have growing confidence the root problem has indeed been identified and corrected. I'll call it "fixed" at this point. es

Ran the tractor with the Johnny Bucket for ~30 minutes moving some topsoil into our kitchen garden area, no issues. @slomo - my sleeve hitch and bucket lift motors are grounded directly to the (-) terminal for the reason you state. I've seen folks discussing the wiring upgrade on car sound...

Ran the tractor with the DR vac for a couple hours today and not a hiccup! I think I found where the battery (-) terminates, at the base of the starter. Didn't pull it off yet, as I needed to get the yard done. Doesn't appear to have any corrosion on it, but we'll see what I find when I...

I won't call this a permanent fix until I've run it numerous times without issue. I'll update this thread occasionally, hopefully with positive results. Many, many thanks to everyone for their input! es

New ground strap is installed, direct from (-) to the engine block. Starts and runs fine! I drove it over to my garage and jacked it up to see if I could locate the frame end of the battery ground cable, but it still eludes me. Probably buried inside the frame under the operator platform. I'll...

I've run all my tests on the RCM and safety switches, and everything checked out okay - a real head-scratcher. One of the yootoob vids I looked at last night showed a guy that used jumper cables (negative side only) to jump directly from the battery (-) to the engine block to get around a bad...

I'll have to take the battery into town to have it load tested - all I have is a basic 'toaster' tester, which I think isn't meant for small batteries. The symptoms are such that the engine starts stumbling off and on, usually after running for 15-30 minutes, but sometimes immediately after...

I tested between the battery end of the ground (black) cable and a stud on the engine - zero resistance (well, 00.1), which should indicate the cable doesn't have an open in it (tested with cable end detached from battery). Also tested between the battery end of the red cable (while attached to...

Just attempted to start it to pull it out of the garden shed - cranked and immediately started cutting in and out, then died completely after ~10-15 seconds of semi-running. Will not restart (no click at starter), although other powered features work (headlights, etc.). This is consistent with...

I’ll check the fuel, today hopefully, but keep in mind that this issue sometimes gets so bad that the engine dies and then will not turn over for a while (starter does not even click). Lights will come on and I can raise/lower the deck, so there’s power. That’s why I’m pretty sure this is an...

Uploaded a short video taken while the engine was stumbling: es

Well, it's back to sputtering again. Disconnected both connectors mentioned above, cleaned and reconnected, with no improvement this time. es

I've run the tractor a couple more times, the last was plowing up my garden spot. As I started the first pass (putting the engine under load), it started spluttering again, so at the end of the row, I hopped off and jiggled both the engine-to-tractor harness connector as well as the rectifier...

UPDATE: Mowed yesterday and not a single hiccup. Hopefully I've found the issue, but I won't be 100% convinced until it goes for several months without the problem recurring. es

Used the XT3 to pull my yard wagon yesterday (starting to clean out the garden), and it fired off fine. Battery was indicating 12.5V before I started it (after sitting for five days). I let it run at full throttle while I was working (maybe 45 minutes), and it hiccuped once or twice toward the...

Going from memory here, but engine running voltage was 13.8 or 13.9. I'm pretty sure DC volts at the regulator plug were 0.1 difference from battery voltage. I'll have to do the regulator ground test you suggest for an answer there - all I looked for was a good ground from the regulator body to...

Ohms, read 0 or maybe 0.001 or something like that. es

It will be at least 4-5 days before I mow again (we need rain!), so I'll keep an eye on it. What you described matches what I'm seeing - battery is at ~13.8V immediately after shutdown, then drops to around 12.6-12.8V over the next minute or so. The last couple times it died (after I realized...

UPDATE After mowing all summer with no issues, the same problem has cropped back up. The first time was while I was mowing recently, and I noticed a LOW BATT message on the LCD as the engine started to sputter. Barely made it back up to the shop before it died. Battery was at around 12.3V...

One (hopefully final) update that I've mowed a couple more times as well as run the tractor several times for ~30 minutes or longer for other uses with no problems. Seems like it's fixed. es

Mowed today with no problems, then put another hour or so on the tractor moving manure with the bucket to fertilize some bare spots in the yard - again, no problems. Hope is growing that it might actually be fixed! es

Ran it another hour or so yesterday, moving mulch with the Johnny Bucket. It hiccuped once, while I had it idled down, but ran strong the whole rest of the time. es

Ran perfectly the whole time I mowed, so there's hope! es

Back from the dealer, $70 lighter with no resolution. As noted earlier, it had died after my last mowing, and while it cranked the next morning, it immediately started cutting out and then died again (no click or any noise when attempting to start). Wife and I tried to push it up the ramps on...

It’s at the dealer now, will report back what they find. es

All connections I have access to seem to be tight. It cranked up this morning, but started acting up within a few minutes, then died with the no start condition again. I stopped at the True Value in town and they said they can take a look, but they’re backed up at least a week - the main reason...

New member, this is my first post here. I bought a Cub Cadet XT3 GSX with a 60" fabricated deck last autumn, which I like a lot, except for the fact the Kohler CH740 rarely runs smoothly through a whole mowing. It's done this since new - I'd take it back to the dealer, but they're five hours...
