OT - Zero turn comparison

Posted by Royse on August 09, 2016 at 20:55:06 from (69.36.53.231):

The one on the right is a Toro Z-Master. What they called Commercial back then.

I would put it at mid-range or maybe a little better. Note no ROPS, so not new.

Fabricated heavy duty deck, dual gas tanks, Kawasaki engine

with vertical exhaust and a full cage around it at the rear.

(this is the one I re-powered with a Briggs I/C temporarily)

The one on the left is a Toro TimeCutter home owner version.

The type you would get at the big box stores, etc. No ROPS here either.

Stamped steel deck, single fuel tank, standard Briggs engine with

no protection around it, just a little bumper pipe on the back.

I had them both here so I thought I would take a couple of

pictures just to compare the differences.

The tire sizes are pretty obvious, as well as the size of the frame.

Tool-less removable belt covers with openings to the grease fittings, etc.

The difference in ride comfort is unbelievable.

Like it is between a cheap box store rider and an OLD JD, Case

or Ingersoll garden tractor. Lawn mower vs tractor so to speak.

Noise level on the larger machine is also noticeably quieter,

even though the blades spin faster and the vibration is far less.

Quality of cut is also far better on the larger model.

The decks on these two are close, 44 on the TC, 52 on the Z.

Same brand but it is like comparing apples to oranges.

One of these things is not like the other.

Can you tell which one got used today? We need some more rain. LOL
