- I haven't done many videos with using the Toro Timemaster. Thought I would share using it on a tall and think lawn. I usually do use my stand on mowers but this early in the season, I choose the Timemaster as it bags very well. Sit back and enjoy.

Yes always change directions great job Mike I love my Timemaster & thick green grass.
Thanks Ryan!
I use my Honda for grass that tall and quick! And you gotta double cut when it’s that thick!
Depending on how fast you move, yes, double or go slow like I did. Less tiring. Prob still the same time as double cutting. Either way, this machine does a great job. Thanks for watching!
Miiiike! Good video, Bro'! UGH! Push mowing! Had a hard enough time on my rider today. Took me TWO HOURS to cut little over 1/2 acre! Have had so much rain. Grass was THICK! Clogged up the chute multiple times. Even had to hose out under the deck! I give you guys TONS of respect for doing this all day long. Yes, I did it in my 20's but, WOW, It's getting tougher! hahaha!
Yes, we are all dealing with the wet, tall, thick grass. This is why I will not do bi weekly for the first couple months. Ok, I have two but they hardly grow as they are weedy. It's frustrating when mowers clog up. This is why slower is better. You save time in the end. I'm not getting any younger either. I bought another machine today to help with that. You will see in my next video. Have a great weekend Lou!
@@MBGAdventures Yup! Was going as slow as it could. Any slower, I would have been going backwards! hahahaha!
@@louroberts5567 You made me laugh, that was funny. You don't want to cut your lawn backwards lol
@@MBGAdventures haha! Mike, I AM so backwards, it's refreshing to go forward! :-D
Oh yes wet and thick I always walk slow cause to me it does take less time and if you walk too fast you'll get more clumps. That is a lot of bagging you did. Nice job Mike.
Yes. That lawn cleaned up well. Slow and steady wins the race. I only had to cut it once with the bag and I was not tired from walking slow. Thanks Bill!
@@MBGAdventures It sure did clean up really well and you walking slow I think was the best way to to do it. Your very welcome brother.
Awesome video! Really like the voice over stuff! I wish I could do them more often but, I'm terrible at it Lol
Thanks Jason. I am terrible at it lol. I forget sometimes what i'm saying lol. It's not easy talking to yourself.
Good tip.
100%
Great job mike. Mowing slow can be more efficient on tall gras, instead of taking multiple passes.
Exactly! That is the way I always do it. Just did another one today, slow and steady with best results and not tired. Thanks Andrew!
Great Video, slower is better with that mower and it does such a great job. I may start using the Time master on my yard and keep the zero turns off the yard.
I am using the Timemaster on lawns right now that I would normally use my stand on. Does a better job with the conditions and does not weigh down the lawn. Once it warms up more then I will use the stand on again.
That mower is on my list for future purchase. I almost went with that one instead of my zero turn but it wasn't in stock and I needed something ASAP 🤣
You won't be disappointed. They get the job done and take a lot of abuse. Thanks Melvin!
@@MBGAdventures thanks man, I've seen a few channels that obtained one this year. Pretty popular mower
Stay bagging B or C for great green grass so it looks good & stays clean but great job Mike.
I had it set at D. We have to cut a bit shorter now then raise the deck mid June. This grass in this video is heavily medicated lol. Thanks Ryan!
Get a Honda for times like this!
I'm on it! Thanks bud!
Good job , I double cut most of my yards . At least the fronts . Especially this time of year . I bag very little . I have tried the time masters . Bought twice , sold twice . They just don’t fit on my trailer . I usually have two 52 inch mowers on and two toro super recyclers on. They slip right beside . So what ever property I pull up on I can just grab the mower I need.
Those mowers are awesome but u have to bag with them , at least in the spring . So I don’t use them , I mulch , or side discharge , double cut and then blow anything that’s left . I dealt with hauling clippings fir a few years . That system didn’t work for me .
Would or do u ever use the 36 on that property or is it to tight .
Have a great weekend . Keep up the great work
I agree with you. If I can, I will use the 36 and double cut. Some lawns like this one, I can't. The 36 weighs down the grass and does not pick it up great. I usually use the 36 on this lawn after the spring months.
I'm surprised your not on your 36" Deere. Nice little video
The 36 is great but not when it's so think and wet. I prefer the Timemaster then. The grass catcher on the 36 is so heavy with wet grass to lift up and into my dump box. I need exercise anyways lol.
@@MBGAdventures Trust me I'm thinking hmm maybe i better do some more push mowing to loose some weight LoL
@@rlawn I don't mind now as our weather is not overly hot. In the summer when you are sweating just standing outside, yes, I will use a sit or stand up mower.
Some times I'll take my time, other times I'll go over it twice.
It all depends on the conditions. Thanks Scott.
I say to each his owen . It's all in what feels better for you. Sometimes I do that . But I have no patience lol. I lift it up and mulch or discharge then go back over lower with the bag less clippings eazyer on the mower. . Iv been doing videos 📹haven't edited yet. On the same issue.. you have to baby this mower.. but it cuts nice..
Ya man, we all do it the way it works for us. I rarely use the mulching with them. Only if its 100% dry and not tall. You 100% have to baby them just like the rest of our equipment to make them last and not break down. Thanks Carlo!
I did a community post about the hare and the turtle who wins. The turtle always wins. So slow and steady wind the race one pass vs 2 or 3 👊🏼
You are 100% correct. I would rather go slow then to cut two or three times and have to blow off too.
Mike, for me in situations like this, slower is faster, double/triple cuts take longer when you consider the mess you have to blow off everything.
Exactly! Slower is faster. I hardly had anything to blow off. Lawn looks super clean and striped well. I know you love your TM too. Thanks Doug!
Hi I’m from Niagara Falls. Do you guys do bi weekly or weekly cuts only?
Hi Miguel, we do mostly weekly but will accommodate for bi weekly too. It all depends on the situation. If there is irrigation I will not do bi weekly.
@@MBGAdventures is it weekly the whole time? Or do you guys skip lawns if it hasn’t grown enough? I appreciate the response a lot!
@@miguelboisvert7375 I always still go to properties if I know it's dry. Trim high spots, pick up garbage, ect. That is if it's a paid for season contract. Some others are as needed.
What do you do with the clippings? Do you have a compost pile or are there other uses?? Thanks
I have a dump trailer back at home and I put all my yard waste in there and when it's full, I go to the place I dump it at.
@@MBGAdventures Thank you!
Thank you so much for the excellent video on the Timemaster. I am from the Southern Ontario area as well. How would you say the Timemaster compares to a commercial 21" like a Toro or Honda? Thanks.
Thanks so much Joe. I had a commercial Toro 21 inch and sold it after 2 months buying it new. It was too heavy. It would only work great in warm dry weather. The wheels weighed down the grass. I didn't like it. Love the Timemaster. I have two. You just have keep up with repairing them as they get older. Mine are on their fourth season now and things are breaking. Where are you located?
@@MBGAdventures Thanks for the feedback. I'm from the Toronto Area. I've got a Toro commercial 22290. It works quite well but I always wanted to try something bigger or different. The Timemaster has been interesting but it's got so many mixed reviews and a lot of concerns about durability that I was always hesitant to get one. The commercial Turfmasters jump in price by a lot.
@@joeraptor1 I get what you're saying. I just don't like the weight of the Turfmaster and that it does not have personal pace. For the price of the commercial you can have two timemasters that are lighter and either get more work done or have a back up.
@@MBGAdventures I know...same thing with the 21" mower debate. A lot of people opt for the Toro Super Recyclers for the same reason. You can get 2 for the price of 1 commercial 21" plus they are lighter. I'm impressed with how well your Timemaster handled that thick grass. I'm like you...in the spring...I prefer to bag. I find it's actually faster than double or triple cutting by mulching or side discharging. Plus, what I've noticed is when you mulch that thick grass in the spring, you are dumping a lot of clippings into the lawn. Unless it rains immediately afterwards, those clippings won't be driven deep into the turf. Then, if it gets hot, all of that nitrogen in the grass clippings will start to burn the lawn just like a fertilizer burn. I had that problem a lot last year. Then I had to reseed these areas because the customers were upset. The experts will say otherwise but that's my experience over 25 years of mowing lawns as a side business. I actually think side discharging works better because you can spread the clippings over a larger area and once you double cut, you reduce them further in size. Mulching to me works when the grass is in its dormant phase from mid June to late August/early September. Even then, I see that the grass seems to be unable to breathe if you constantly mulch. Grass clippings, despite the so called expert literature, takes a long time to decompose.
@@joeraptor1 If I can go slow and do it once and it looks mint, that is better than riding over the lawn multiple times trying to mulch up grass. I like you only use side discharge unless I am bagging. I don't use the mulch function really that often. Same thing, I think side discharge leaves the lawn looking better then mulching. Sounds like you have lots of experience. I am always learning!
I honestly don’t know what to do. It just seems my toro bag gets filled so quickly and it isn’t even full too capacity before it starts slowing down
That will happen when grass is wet. I have no issues like that when grass is dry.
Have you tried the pro version?
Not sure what you mean by the pro version, if you mean the Timecutter commercial version, No, I have not but I know people who have. I don't like the cost, the weight and it does not have personal pace.
Hey I did notice your rear deflector is broke. Mine ripped after 1 mow. Not cool for $1000 machine.
You are the first to notice lol. Mine lasted 4 years so that's not bad. Your issue was probably it was not mounted properly. The TM's here cost $1500 and yes, it's not cool for something like that to break so quickly. Thanks for watching!
Making 2 passes.
