Good Morning LawnWorld!

I am looking at the residential Toro Timecutter line, specifically models 75750 with the Kawasaki, HG-2100 hydros, and the model 75760 with the Toro motor and HG-2800 hydros. My main question is it really worth the extra coin to jump up to the HG-2800 hydro or not? Mower will be strictly residential use, I live on a farm, light Bermudagrass, around 1.5 acres, wide open flat country. I've ready conflicting reports on whether the HG-2100 hydros are serviceable or not, I would appreciate more information on that. Between these two models, its a $1,000 price increase, for essentially the same mower, but a 10" bigger deck, and larger hydros.

Any advice/input is greatly appreciated. Looking to buy one or the other this weekend.

I think I see what's going on. The HG-2100 hydro is not "serviceable" as it does not have an oil filter on the hydro. Whereas the HG-2800 hydros does have an oil filter. While any HG hydro can have the oil changed, only certain models have an actual oil filter.

You are correct.

Being serviceable is just a point of view. They are not serviceable if it is just changing the oil easily but they are repairable; although, it can be expensive at times. To a point that more ecomoncial to just to replace them.

I would guess the torque ratings are quite a bit different on those hydros too. Bigger is better.
