So Far, So Good
Model Year: 2014
Have used my new SS5000 Timecutter a few times to cut about 3 of my acres which is lawn, the rest being fields that I brush hog and woods which are left wild. Purchasing experience through Home Depot online, Toro and local Toro dealer was excellent. Machine was shipped from Toro to local dealer for set up and delivered to me ready to go. As soon as you develop some skill with steering and speed control with the two levers the machine really does cut down the time it takes to cut the lawn. Did an excellent job. Very maneuverable. Seems well thought out and manufactured.
Pros: Good value, does the job well, well thought out.
Cons: No significant cons. Does use more fuel than 42 conventional lawn tractor, but cuts much faster.
