Finally got a zero turn!

[mikeypizano]

Well, I couldn't take all the walking anymore, and with the heat, it was time to finally spend the money on something bigger than a 21" Honda! I settled on a Toro SS4225 and bagger. I ended up getting it at Home Depot as the one dealer was 400 dollars more, and the other dealer hasn't been to nice to me, so Home Depot got the sale. They delivered it on Tuesday. I had ordered it on 5/28, and even with the holiday, it came on June 7, so not to bad. Home Depot sends it to a Toro dealer who does setup and delivery. I did a few yards with it, and I have really been happy with it!

Nice, You will never want for a mower with a steering wheel again.

That is why I didn't even look at anything else. It is SO much better with the lap bars! The only issue is I get done too fast and don't get enough time to play with the mower!

Oh, you'll get plenty of time on it, I mowed five acres today on mine and run two tanks of mix through the brushcutter.

Mikey, I know I gave you a full ration of #### over on the other site, but maybe you're learning. That's a nice machine. Take care of it, and it'll take care of you.

Oh I know I will it's just I can't use it on every one of my yards. I have one that takes me about an hour and half to cut, then I still need to trim. I have some other large ones too it will really come in handy on as well.

Yeah, that is why I left that forum and will not be going back. I even got new boots as well! I have been working my butt off since mid April with hardly any time to relax, but no one ever believed me when I said I work hard. I will forgive you this time...

Also, my Honda is sitting at 841 hours now, and will get more put on it today. Plus, here is a picture of the wagon I am using at one of my jobs.

And here is mower with bagger.

Good for you Mikey!
Keep your head down and work hard. Nobody can take that away from you.

Just washed it [emoji23]

 

[Steve NW WI]

I see that thing has a plug in for washing the deck. Do those actually work? I've never owned a mower that had one.

The only one I seen on a mower didn't work, If you use it while the grass is fresh and not caked on hard they do. But if you don't clean it after mowing a lot of wet grass, it won't work well. now that being said it was when they first started coming out on decks. new ones may be completely different.

I never tried the washout port, but on my grandfathers mower, it didn't work that well if the grass under it was dry.

I never wanted one cause I'm afraid the water jet would wash out the blade spindle bearings.

You could soak it in carb cleaner for a few months?

[emoji1] oh my

 

[mikeypizano]

Watched a video, and one thing I like about this mower is just how easy it is to drop the deck. Take out a pin in front, take off back hanger, and take off the belt. Already got 2 pairs of extra blades as well.

Where do you put the clippings from the bagger? In the wagon and sit the push mower on top?

I don't take them with me, either dumped in cans/bags or somewhere on property. I only bag if they want it done as well.

What if they want it bagged and not left on the property?

Garbage bags or cans for yard waste.
