TORO Timemaster 30 Review

- DISCLAIMER: The TORO Company did send me this mower for Review. However, all thoughts and opinions are that of my own and no one else's.
What is up everyone? Hope all is well. In this video I go over my opinion of the TORO Timemaster 30' Mower. I have personally owned one of these mowers in the past for my commercial company and never had an issue with it. It was a great mower no matter what I put it up against but lets also not forget maintenance plays a big part in how a mower will treat you also.
Now let us talk price and places to purchase.
This mower you can Buy from either a Big Box Store like Home Depot or you can find them at Local TORO dealers. This mower in the video can be purchased for around $1100 or for around an extra $100 you can upgrade to the Electric start model. Now, buying from either one is ok but when you purchase from an actual dealer your gonna get perks that big box stores do not offer such as end of season maintenance. Most dealers even offer pickup and delivery which is a huge convenience. So take these things into consideration when purchasing your next TORO Mower.

I purchase the Toro Time Master to September and love that mower. It doesn't matter the size of the gas tank I just keep a gas can close by. I have only mulched with the Time Master and it does a great job . Money well spent...
Most likely the reason for the small tank is to make sure you’re always putting in fresh gas. The Ethanol thats in the gasoline these days makes it so that if you leave any in the mower for any amount of time, it will gum up the carb. The last tank should always be the canned store bought Ethanol free gas with stabilizer. Even better to probly run it out completely
I bought it because of this guy. He explained Personal Pace so I understood it. He “worked out” the mower, didn’t just talk about what it could do, he showed you. He kept it real. Excellent.
I like your explanation of the Personal Pace. Great job!
Toro is the way to go! 👍👍👍i just bought a timemaster last year and love it!! Toro Rulz!!
I'm a Toro & Echo man for life!
I have one and love mine. Even put the toro stripe kit on mine. Tons of compliments i get on my yard .
Franco just bought one and it spiked my interest. It’s about time for a new mower and this seems to be exactly what I need for my yard. I just haven’t had good luck with Toro, but the only other option is to spend thousands on a stander or walk behind that’s more than I need. Great review, Danny.
Great work mate! I've got 3 Honda commercials (2 21"s and a 19") and a Timemaster. Honestly whilst the Timemaster initially did great on lawns where I couldn't get a ZT into, since I got a 36" stand on it's just sat in the shed for the most part. Hates wet grass but it is very powerful and super fast. Can see it being an awesome machine for guys that don't have a ride on but want to get some bigger lawns done.
Its a great mower i just got this mower over a month ago and we love it fits in lawns that our 36 won't fit.
Really helpful review. I'm moving into my 2nd year after using a Toro 22 Personal Pace for the first year. I've been on the fence about picking the Toro TurfMaster or the ExMark 30... and this video helped me make the decision to go instead with the TimeMaster. That will save me over $1k to begin my 2nd year. If the business takes off beyond what I can handle with this mower, it will help me get to that point more quickly and I can purchase more at that time. So relieved to get out of the analysis mode. Thank you!
No problem! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new mower. I used one for over 2 years in my business and never had any issues. As long as you take care of it then it’ll take card of you.
What a fantastically done review Bud. Very well laid out & good footage to go along with it. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!! #broinlawns!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great review Danny. Yeah the cutting height increments kind of sucks. Does a good job mulching. Love the different camera angles.
Ive been running two of the exmark 30's since they came out.....definitely worth it. The exmark has some differences, but overall very similar concept. They do have a few cons, but the time savings more than makes up for it when compared to a 21" mower.
dude that thing dominates leaves
Hi guy....great info on the Toro!....Tks for sharing!
Great demo..... Pretty nice machine
Great review! Enjoyed the video. Ok like that mower.
Thanks 👍
I didn’t know you owned a timemaster? Love my timemaster. I made a diy chute blocker / ocdc for mine
Great job on the review
Hi Danny, nice review that seems more directed to the home owner. I could have bought it but bought the Exmark 30" Commercial instead 3 years ago and I'm glad I did. Have you done or could you do a review comparing the 30" Toro Timemaster to the Exmark 30" Commercial (or Toro Turfmaster is commercial)? I did some research at the time that's why I ended up buying the Exmark for $2000 even though I could have got the Toro Timemaster for about $1000. Thanks for your hard work and honest reviews.
Nice review👍🍁
I used my Timemaster comercially and it lasted 4 years. I punished that mower. The front wheel bearings are crap and will rust and seize. I greased all the bearings every year. The engine never failed me and although it looked like an old banger the only reason it was scrapped was because the drive gave up. I wouldnt buy another but its a good mower for dry homeowner lawns
I just got one for $300. It’s the 190cc version so i know it’s the old model. Currently getting ready to tune it up for the season. I heard the trans and belts are the weak part of these mowers. Is there anything else i should take care of before the spring rush? Gonna do oil change, fuel filter, blade sharpening and air filter change as well.
@@officialsouthsoul5223 hiya pal. The only thing i replaced were the front wheel bearings. A drive cable which snapped and the blade belt. I did pop the seals every year and grease every bearing. I never touched the engine only to change the oil. When i first got it i did put some proper good oil in the drive as i did not trust toro. I mowed acres and acres with that mower over around 3 years. I cannot fault it
@@darrenupton5500 appreciate you sharing your experience. I feel confident in her bc she cranks up and moves solid every time. She just need a little tlc and preventative maintenance. I’ll keep her updated after the first season.
man who do i have to email? hahah but for real good video brother!!!
Great video Danny. I'm wanting to get one of those for some of my smaller properties to replace my Troy bilt 33"
You should. I used one for a couple years and loved it. Only got rid of it because i quit taking on properties my 48 wouldnt fit in
Why are you replacing the Troy bilt 33". I'm curious because I'm considering the Tb 33" among others.
@@johnossendorf9979 the TB was a great mower however for my commercial use it became very hard to get parts for it, as well as the parts you can get for it come with a high premium they're pretty expensive. As well as it's heavy I do some properties now or even my 30-in time master doesn't fit through a gate and I actually have to pick it up and shimmy it through a gate. The Troy-Bilt is pretty heavy so there is no picking it up and shimming it through a gate lol. To a homeowner the Troy-Bilt is a great mower, or to someone just starting out in the commercial field it's a good mower if you can find it for the right price however it does have it setbacks as every mower does anyways. My personal opinion if you can get it for $500 or less it's a great deal any more than that you could spend that money elsewhere
@@JonsDailyHustle Thank you for sharing your hands on experience. I really appreciate it !
Just bought one today. I have around a half acre and I estimate it took me 1:45 minutes with my 21" walk behind. Anxious to see how much I can cut that time down. Great review!
So how much time is the 30" saving over the 21" ?
John Ossendorf I’m cutting my lawn in about 50 minutes now. So far I’m very happy with the purchase. Before I would cut sections of the yard on different days now I just cut it all at once. If it lasts 10 years I’ll considers it a home run purchase.
I do lawn mowing service part time, 6-8 lawns a week on my days off... you think this mower would be a good option? Currently doing them with a 22 in residential toro.
Absolutely, I used one in my business for about 2 years and loved it. Only reason i ever got rid of it was because I quit taking on properties my 48 wouldnt fit on
Notification Squad!!
Awesome mower Danny toro all the way
How does it Handle in a smaller yard with some obsicles like trees cloths lines that obligate you to manuver? It is heavy and i think might be hard to turn
It is a little heavier than like a 22” push mower but turning is not an issue IMO unless your buying the 30” turf master commercial unit which is significantly heavier
Thank you. I am going to try to get one. Nobody has them here in Puerto Rico
Excellent video my man. I know you always used a 33 Cub Cadet. Do you like the Timemaster over the 33 Cub Cadet, what are the pros and cons of those 2 mowers?
I'd like to know too!
Sold!!
Order a 1 gallon “commercial” style fuel
Tank similar to commercial
Unit.. u can leave stock tank but bolt brackets to middle handle .. f y’all use it for multiple lawns a day and get tired of the small fuel tank…. I actually removed the foam from my tank and got quit a bit more gas run time out of mine.. Nice vid tho sir!!
A E 3 plug will help u w better gas mileage 😉
When is the best time, holiday, or season to get the best deal/lowest price on this mower?
Looking to widen up from a 21" Honda.
Usually late February to mid April is when most deals will take place
@@LanierLawnCare I see, right.
TY
I decided to go through and be all yalls first like in the comments have a great day, as always great video Mr. Lanier!!
👍
is that the hdx timemaster or just the timemaster.
This is Just the Timemaster. The HDX is the Commercial Turfmaster with Kawasaki engine
Shit I have a timemaster and I love my family but I like being out of the house as long as posssible!! I recommend a double cut. W your Time-master N-S /E-W. 30” # stripes 👍🏻💪🏻
now I definatel need to get one.....I'm also not liking the height idea
My craftsman pro does all this stuff for half the price
You forgot to demonstrate “beast mode.” You just need some taller thicker grass to do.
I would have loved to but the grass had quit growing pretty much here in Kansas City area so this was best I could find at the moment.
@@LanierLawnCare I hear ya,...it’s starting to get like that out here too.
To me a good review is when you use a mower for 2 years . And mow 4 or more lawns a day 5 days a week . Yup put it through a real workout for 2 years . Mowing with a mower for just a month or two is really a wastes of time . Well since you said it has a three year warranty get back to us in three years .
I owned a timemaster 30 for at least 2 years. This exact Model and never had any issues with it. Only reason I ever got rid of it was because i quit taking on properties that my 48 wouldnt fit
@@LanierLawnCare I have seen some very bad reviews on this mower most were transmission problems and blades coming off . When they called toro they would not even return there calls . That’s why I never went with this mower .
@@johnbailey9682 you must be thinking of the older style of this mower, I have heard very few ppl complain about this exact model with the 10 ft lb engine as they also updated the transmission on this model compared to the older ones
Not impressed with the “stock” blades there is def better more aggressive blades made by Oregon..
the bottom of deck design is imo poor as well the “feed” from ea blade don’t really work well together there for causing a JAM or CLOG .. I actually under coated my deck w spray on bed liner and swapped out a 3 slice blade and have seen some improvement.. I’d be sure to clear and clean the bottom of your deck at the end of using the machine..
Sherwood help if he went in a straight line
Ill make a New video just for you wally.
SURE WOULD help if you could spell
all these guys use it on a FLAT yard. Poor on hills and they overlook that.
