I have a 2012 Toro SS4260 ZT with the Kaw engine and if I stop for even a minute while on my lawn the heat from either the exhaust and or the transaxles will burn a spot on my lawn. I have heard of Gravely's doing this also and they have a fix but as far as I know Toro does not. I also called my dealer and he said there is no fix.
Not sure if there are any Toro reps on this board but I would like a way to prevent this burning situation.

HELP!!!:confused2:
 
Plus, I haven't even tested if mine burns the grass. I have heard that some do, but I'm not gonna find out. :biggrin:
 
Call a different dealer. I think that the kit mentioned will work for you, but with out your numbers can't say for sure. Ask your dealer about the kit. He can call Toro tech services if it will work on your unit. Probably doesn't want to invest the time for you and a $25 part.

I have a 2020 new 4220 toro that does the same thing and it has a heat shield on it. It's parked and my old 4200 is back on the job.
 
Well my 2014-- 4260 w/Kaw has Never burnt any grass.. I've been mowing with it for 6 years. And No heat shield. And this time of year I mow at 4-1/2" tall ..
 
Interesting, I have a 2011 model SS4260 and have never noticed it, but I rarely park it on the grass while running. I’ll have test that scenario out.
 
I generally don't stop while mowing either, but I do clean out in back by the compost bin, parking in same area for 6 years on mowed grass.
So if mine was gonna burn grass it would be in that location, but nothing. And at 4-1/2" tall mowed grass, that would be the most likely for it to do so.

I'm not complaining tho.
