50" Mowing Deck

Toro's four inch deep, top discharge deck design provides superior cutting performance in all conditions. Anti-scalp wheels allow the deck to float over the turf and reduce scalping. Create your own natural fertilizer by adding a Reycling® Kit or make yard clean-up a snap with an optional Twin Bagging system.

Heavy Duty Steel Engine Guard

This rugged, steel engine guard protects the engine from branches and debris as you nimbly maneuver around your lawn.

Adjustable Armrests

Provide operator comfort when mowing for extended periods and easily adjust for any operator.

Foot Assist Height of Cut System

Allows you to quickly and easily raise the mowing deck while mowing to avoid scalping and can also be used to lift the mowing deck while changing height of cut positions.

Smooth Front Tires

Professional landscape contractors know that smooth tires reduce turf wear and improve manuverability. All 50" TimeCutter models come standard with 10" x 4" smooth front tires. Available as an option on all other models.

High Back Seats

When you're mowing for an extended period, there's no substitute for a good seat. The 18" high back seats offer maximum support during longer mowing sessions.

Powerful Engines

At Toro, we take great care to match engine power capacity with the mower design. Each TimeCutter Z model features a premium engine that has been tested with the specific mower configuration for optimal performance. We stand behind the performance of every product that carries our brand. You would expect nothing less from the leader in lawn care.

Dual Hydrostatic Drive System

Independent hydrostatic drive systems provide responsive manueverability and zero turning capabilities. These independent drives are anchored to Toro's unibody frame and strengthened with a 3/4" diameter cross-bar for lasting durability and performance.

Heavy Duty Uni-Body Steel Frame

The unibody steel frame provides the optimal balance in rigidity and flexibilty for quick, highly manueverable mowing conditions.

Precision Steering System

Control lever dampeners provide smooth drive engagement to prevent jerky operation and sudden starts and stops. Thick, padded control levels allow you to keep in control and ride in comfort.

Cast Iron Rear Bumper

This rugged, cast iron rear bumper protects the back as you nimbly maneuver around your lawn.

3-Gallon Fuel Capacity

The TimeCutter features a large 3-gallon fuel tank for more mowing with less fill-ups. Knowing when to fill up is simple thanks to the translucent tank, which also helps to prevent overfilling. The central location of the tank provides a lower and more stable center of gravity for optimum control.

7 mph Forward Ground Speed

Get the job done fast. With a top speed of 7 mph, the TimeCutter is all about productivity. Whether you want to cut your mowing time or enjoy the ride, the TimeCutter Z has the speed you need.

Non-Slip, Easy-to-Clean Floor Pan

The pierced floor pan is perfect for homeowners who like their mower to look as nice as their lawn. Simply hose down the floor pan after each use and keep your TimeCutter looking as good as new. The non-slip pierced extrusions also provide an additional measure of safety.

Extra Comfortable Seats

When you're mowing for an extended period, there's no substitute for a good seat. These seats offer maximum support during longer mowing sessions.

3-Year Limited Warranty

The TimeCutter Z's are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for three years.
