Manufacturer Review
More than Just a Mower
By Chris

Review Posted 05/20/2014
Increase your versatility and maximize time savings with additional attachments.
Toro TimeCutter mowers are the only zero turn mowers with a Smart Speed® Trim & Tow mode. Along with the standard hitch, you can now tow pull-behind attachments with the speed and precision control they were designed for.

Does not cut well
By David M.
Hackettstown, New Jersey
Review Posted 10/18/2014
The wheels flatten down the grass and when I make the next pass the grass stays flat where the wheels were and does not lift up and cut that grass.
Lawn ends up with grass at different heights. I am using the mulch kit and cutting at about 2 1/2 to 3".
Same problem when I use the bagger. Is this supposed to be a high lift blade or do I need to purchase a blade with more lift?

Thank you for contacting Mowers Direct, I would recommend checking the air on the tires. If it has to much, it will create issues with mowing. Also the blades that come with the mower should be good when mulching but I would also recommend looking into high lift blades sold by Oregon, which will help as well.

Great mowing experience
By Kenneth F.
Canton, Minnesota
Purchased 09/10/2014 |
Review Posted 10/07/2014
I bought a bagging system for the mower too, but all the connecting points to the mower do not line up like they should, and as a result, I get a certain amount of blowby that doesn't reach the bags.
Other than that, it is a wonderful mower. It does a great job of cutting the grass, and I'm quite satisfied with it.

Leaves a windrow on right side of deck.
By Ray G.
McCook, Nebraska
Purchased 04/05/2014 |
Review Posted 10/05/2014
I put the mulching kit on the mower because I didn't have room in the garage to store the bag. I can't figure out what is causing the windrow on the right side of the deck. The local dealer instructed me to raise the back of deck, but that didn't help.
I even bought a gator blade thinking the grass needed to be cut up finer, but it made no difference. I thought it was because I let the grass grow too long so I mowed more often, but that didn't help, either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Great Zero turn
By Edward T.
Burlington, Massachusetts
Purchased 07/04/2014 |
Review Posted 07/13/2014
The SS3216 is a great size for my back yard. It's going to take a little while to get used to how responsive it is. I'm amazed how just a slight touch of the controls make turning amazing.

The mower seems to be fine, but it acts like there's no cutting edge on the blade.

The small back tires make it hard to stay straight on hills, it slides out and tears up the grass.
