  • Following our Bad Boy vs Toro Titan video, Main Street Mower presents to you the detailed testing and performance analysis of Toro Timecutter 50" and Bad Boy ZT Elite 60".
    We have intentionally and carefully chosen a smaller class of TORO mowers to be compared with the much heavier and upper-class of Bad Boy Mowers, with the sole purpose of highlighting the immense contrast in the performance by both the brands.

    Love the Toro Myride. Bought one in April 2022. But I am afraid to wash it. It as an electronic parking brake controller that costs $150 to replace. The brake control module has a lot of electrical connections to it. It is not water or rain proof. I washed my mower with a regular hose sprayer not a pressure washer. You guessed it. It got water in this module. The result was an intermittent short that would not allow the mower to start. The repair facility said that the part was not covered under warranty because there was water in it. A really poor design on an "outdoor" machine. I am sure there is a warranty clause if you do not do regular cleaning. I am switching to Bad Boy.

    I have a brand spanking new Bad Boy 42" MZ Rambler. The BB replaced a 27 year old Deere STX46. What I like about Main ST. Mower is, he may be biased but he does what most other reviewers do not...He shows the mowers actually cutting grass. I got tired of others doing walk around telling us how strong and durable the machine they're showing is. I REALLY liked when he stressed tested both on that super tall grass. He's the only one I've seen who has done anything like that. Very impressive! Thank you! You get a big thumbs up from me.

    I just picked up a Toro TimeCutter 50” with the Kawasaki engine (model 75750 , same as the one you reviewed) and im impressed with it. It rained today and the grass was wet it was about the same height as the grass you was mowing and damn it cut it pretty good on the first pass that i just left it like that. And the engine was just powering through it effortlessly . Its a powerful machine for sure.

    The noise you heard were the blade spindle bearings going bad. This tends to happen when people cut something else other than grass, or they drag the decks too low to the ground. Plus there was a small batch of bearings that did not get lubrication. And Bad Boy has since upgraded the bearings to another part number. The bearings should have black rubber seals on top and bottom. If the bearing only has one rubber seal, and the other seal is metalic, then that is part of the bad batch that tends to get very noisy after about 20 hours. Warranty covers replacement of these bearings....

I just wish they'd get their act together because I don't know if I should hold off until the 2021 models arrive or buy now.. I don't know how much improvement they will be making over the existing models. Would you have any inside information that you can share on the Titan 2021 ?

    I just got this Toro TimeCutter to replace my 15 year old TimeCutter Z4200 which developed a crack in the crappy Kohler Courage engine crankcase. That said, I happen to really like the new Toro with the Kawasaki engine. The 50" deck cuts beautifully. I don't let my lawn get to the point where the grass is knee high, so I'm not concerned with the Bad Boy cutting the tall stuff better. I will say that the Toro has gone up in price to nearly $4000 from the time this video was made. Inflation sucks!

      You must have had a ZT Avenger or smaller. The Elite's and above have swivel suspensions on front, and some upper tiers have rear suspension. If yours is bouncing a lot, you might want to consider leveling your yard because all solid frame mowers are going to bounce you out of the seat unless you own an Elite or larger.

    I had a timecutter with my ride suspension system . It favored riding up against one side of the rails instead of setting in the center of the platform. At 30 hours had both hydros go out so I was told by dealer. Had a belt snap as well in that time frame. That was my last toro experience and dealer told me they wouldn't honor the warranty if the hydros went out again so once it was fixed I sold it for pay off and bought a spartan rt pro and never looked back . Toros are nice mowers for some but my experience wasn't the greatest after what I thought was a upgrade From my old husqvarna zero turn which only ever needed oil changes and blade sharpening...

  • @alanatimmons765
    @alanatimmons765 Před rokem +6

    Coming from a lawnmower dealership and a small engine mechanic shop, we deal with both of these mower brands everyday. Hands down, Bad Boy is the better mower. First, the deck on every residential Bad Boy is commercial 7 gauge steel, even on the smallest $3,000 bad boy. The Toro deck is only 10 gauge steel which is thinner so it can't take as much wear and tear. Second, you are comparing a Kawasaki vs Kohler. Of course the engine is going to sound different, but when you started those blades on the Bad Boy, that sounds like you've got some kind of issue going on under that deck you might want to check out. Bad Boy does not sound like that on a normal basis. It would be interesting to see what you have under those decks. Blades and baffles make a difference with how far the grass is thrown and how much grass is being cut off at a time. Nothing against Toro, but Bad Boy is the better option when it comes to the overall simplicity of design which makes Bad Boy much easier to work on when repairs are needed, because lets be honest, it's a mower and sometimes things need to be repaired or replaced. Also, with Bad Boy the fuel capacity is greater so you get more mowing done with each tank of gas, the steel frame is tougher for more durability, the list goes on...Not to mention, the Bad Boy just looks good.
