I bought a titan max earlier this year and these videos 100% help with actual information and not the flair dealers want to promote. Good content!
Glad it was helpful.
Would you still recommend the max over the my ride if I have back problems ? Is the myride really that much more comfortable ride than the titan max ?
@@soulja617if you have back problems that severe I’d look into a Ferris with full suspension.
Thanks for taking the time to do the review, it helped me decide on which one I want to get.
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
I'd like to thank you for doing this comparison video. I was torn between the two mowers. We went with the Titan max for our 3 acre property. We've mowed twice and it is an absolute beast! So far we are very happy with our purchase. The transmission will make a little noise here and there like people have mentioned but I don't think it's a big deal. This thing really is a beast!
You're welcome. Glad you like it. I still love mine and it truly is a beast.
this is a fantastic Toro Titan u sure enjoy this garden i am sure.......thank you for all the news
You’re welcome
What a great (unbiased) review. I appreciate the detail. I just purchased a 2024 Toro Titan 54 with My Ride and the Kohler 26HP Engine. Looking forward to its arrival tomorrow.
Have a great day.
You’re welcome.
Thank you for your video. Buying the Max this week!
You’re welcome
I was torn between the two and this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I believe I'll go with the max and maybe add a suspension seat
Awesome! Glad we could help.
He’s lying….he’s not comparing apples to apples…my Toro 2000HD MyRide has all those things he says it doesn’t… Rops, Highback Seat, Parking brake up/down handle, welded frame, and of course the nice ride. His video was plain and simple a commercial, comparing it to smaller and older model. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and it’s wonderful!
@@emelineklick8824 👍
@@emelineklick8824 seriously, you think he's lying??? He simply made a video comparing his similarly-priced standard Titan (with MyRide) to the Titan Max; nothing more, nothing less.
If anything, YOU are the one not comparing "apples to apples" when you bring up the 2000 HD. If you're referring to the "HD 2000" that's a discontinued model. If you're talking about the 2000 HDX, that is a professional mower that costs several thousand dollars more. You're the one who sounds like you're making a commercial, not the guy in the video.
Please; get back on your meds.
I personally like the transmission sounds! It sound nice
I agree
My Dad around the corner from my property has a max. Amazing machine. I've used it to cut my few acres a bunch. That said, my property is rough. I just ordered a Titan 60" MyRide with the same 26hp Kohler 7000 pro that's in his max. I'll take the slightly less frame strength for the comfort. Great video series!
Cool. Thanks!
"Can you hear that difference" right after a music montage where you can't hear the mowers at all. LOL. Just messing with you it was a great review!
Lol. Thanks man.
We just recently got the 50" MYRIDE , that gives us a lot smoother ride, for health reasons. It performs great for us, and we have really bumpy terrain, but not the acreage you have to cover. Thanks for the review
You're welcome. Yea, I am really torn between which one to keep even though I said the MAX.
3 point turns. If you don’t want the inside tire to tear up the grass, regardless of the type of tire, gotta make 3 point turns.
Me again! So in looking for one I see the Max is actually cheaper and was wondering for you and others, is mowing a rough lawn which might be a better choice. Right now I have just the older style z5030 with old school seat. Wasnt sure if the max seat would be a considerable upgrade over the old seat or still better to go with the my ride for comfort?
Good question. I would say the seat on the max really holds you in place well because of its deep contour. If you have a bad back, I might get the MyRide. For me the max is great.
Well said! Thank you! please consider using Bestline oil additive 2-3 pz per quart, it works for me.
Thanks
I have 2021 Ariens Apex 52 and 2022 Ariens Zenith 60, to use on my 5 acre lawn. Very happy with the built quality and Kawasaki engines, FR691F in Apex and FX730 in Zenith. Both are 726cc but FX730 is from the commercial line up. Toro is also good quality, but the pricing in my country is quite a bit higher than Ariens. Personally think Ariens looks nicer, those chains holding the deck is not pretty, Husqvarna also have chains on their biggest zero turns.. cheers a new subs, living in Norway
Welcome to the channel. Ariens is a great brand of mower as well. I love the quality and durability of this Toro so far. It has worked flawlessly.
Can you retrofit the air filter upgrade to the previous gen machine with the same engine? I have the time cutter HD.
Not that I know of but I am not a mechanic.
Great video budd. Nice property.
Thank you
I'd take the max if it was available in Australia, we're getting gouged though the price tag here is $13k or nearly $10k USD... But it's the best in its class spec wise otherwise I'd have to look at a full commercial unit for $20k+... We only have the Kawasaki FR730 as an option too so I don't think it's going to come with the canister filter :( and will probably struggle with the grass species in my paddocks, they typically grow to 4ft in 2 weeks..
The Max has worked well on the tough Bahia Hay grasses here but they are only 18" tall. Sounds like you may need a brush hog to pull behind a tractor.
I bought the my ride system it’s definitely a Cadillac. I do notice how stiff the transmissions are. does anybody know if you can adjust the transmissions so that they aren’t so stiff.
It is.
Not sure how to adjust. They seem fine to me.
Considering it's basically an exmark I'm surprised they don't have the digital fuel Gauge and all other features they do
True
Great video. Did you feel a big difference in the ride? I have 10 ac of pasture that is a little bumpy in places. Headed to the max.
Thanks. There is a difference in the ride but not a huge one.
If u want a rocking chair stay on the porch! Bought a Titan Max this week!
Lol. Good choice
I was interested in the TORO Titan and talked with a dealer here in San Antonio Tx. He said that with the My Ride suspension customers where complaining of the ride is like a " cork bobbing on the ocean" and some were getting " sea sick". Wondered what your thoughts were
Not true. I have it set on the least tense setting and it is perfect. Setting on the hardest setting is almost like not having suspension in my opinion.
LOL - I just had a visual of this!
I just rode one today, no swinging or anything.
Two questions:
Can you add a ROPS on the my ride?
Can you add the comfortable seat the my ride has to the max?
As far as I know, no on both questions.
@@CountryLivingExperience Yes on the ROPS. My dealer quoted $825 + shipping and install.
My dad just bought the Titan with my ride. This years models both came with the kohler engine. My huge complaint is the control handles were very hard to push. Im young and my elbows and shoulders would be shot after 1 hr of mowing. Also the handles dont spring back to neutral position. Does the titan max handles act the same? The hydraulic damper is so stuff could be on a small cars suspension. We are debating returning it to TSC and looking at a badboy, kubota, or bobcat.
Sounds like the hydro trans are stiff. There may be some adjustment on them that is possible. I would call Toro and find out what the issue could be. You may have to take it in for servicing but it would certainly be under warranty. Mine are easy on the MAX and they were just as easy on the Titan MyRide.
@@CountryLivingExperience update he added some springs so it springs back to neutral when he lets go of the handles. He said its way better like our older troybilt zero turn
I'm definitely going to trade in my 6 year old Cub Cadet 50" zero turn for the new 60" Titan with the My Ride option!!!! Frikkin Cadillac.
You'll love it.
The Toro Titan Max has got superb power cuts efficiently.
Absolutely!
I live in Florida and have searched the SE online for a Titan Max without any luck. Help me find one please.
Go on the Toro site and look for a local dealer. Call them and ask them to order you one.
Vassey Lawn and Garden i se Tennessee
The Zmaster 4000 seat, part number 144-2632, is compatible with the Titan Max. Bolts right up, no mods required.
Cool
@Country Living Experience: A Homesteading Journey do you still feel you made the correct choice with the Max or are you in a different mower now?
I still have the Max. I love it. It is tough as nails and the power is more than I need....which is good.
Great video. Very informative! I'm looking for a little more info before deciding between these 2 models. Only $100 difference at my local Toro dealer. I have 5 acres of property, 2 of which I keep as yard, the balance as pasture. I've been using my Massey 1532 with a 60" finish mower to mow the 2 acres. It takes all of 2 hours (plus cutting in with a push mower). My wife, who had triple bypass surgery a year ago has offered to mow if I buy a ZTR (my tractor is little out of her comfort zone). I was looking at the Ferris ISX800 due to the full suspension (~$2,300 more out the door). Recently a friend mentioned the Toro MyRIDE models. So I started looking at them. In my opinion, having not used either the Ferris or a MyRIDE model, I would think that the MyRIDE system would provide a more consistent cut as the deck isn't moving around with the suspension. Does this make sense? Bottom line I'm looking for quality ZTR that will provide a smooth ride for my wife. I can't seem to find any info on the Toro Titan Max relative to the seat. Does it have any suspension features on it? Any adjustment? Does anyone have any first hand experience that may help me decide? Any info would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks, Pete
Thank you.
I loved the MyRide because I have a bad back but I actually ended up keeping the MAX because of it's power. I have tough Bahia hay grasses and I need that extra power to get through it. That extra 1.5 HP is really nice.
The MAX does not have suspension. It has the exact same deck as the MyRide.
If you want smoother and don't need the power, get the Titan MyRide.
@@CountryLivingExperience The MyRIDE model that I'm looking at actually has the same 26HP Kohler as the MAX you tested. So the power shouldn't be an issue. As you have used the MAX for some time now, does the seat (from what I see is an upgrade from the MyRIDE model) provide adequate isolation from the bumps of uneven terrain to say that you don't miss the MyRIDE? Are you aware of any suspension seats (maybe from an eXmark model) that would fit/bolt on to the MAX? I remember seeing user video on the MAX where the author mentioned he was going to change the seat out. I really appreciate you responding to my questions and providing your opinion on these models. Thanks! - Pete
@@peteley3150 That is awesome. They must have upgraded the MyRide since I had tested it 2 years ago for them.
The MAX seat is great and keeps you secure. It all depends on how rough your property is. Mine is extremely rough and I do wish I had the MyRide suspension again. I don't know of any other seats that fit the MAX.
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks again for sharing your experience. I have super analyzed these two models as well as others before them. I keep finding myself going back to the MAX. A few major things there for me. 1) The ROPS, it's an $825 +shipping/tax option on the MyRIDE. 2) The seat belt, a small thing but it does add some sense of security when mowing on a slope. 3) The heavy gauge welded frame = long term durability. 4) Easier access to the belt vs. the MyRIDE. I need to go to my local dealer and put some hands on these guys and make a decision! Thanks again for all you help. - Pete
I just wanted to circle back after making my decision and purchase... I demoed the MyRide 54" w/the Kohler and the MAX. My pick was the MAX. Just too many pluses with the MAX that I couldn't ignore. Initial use this weekend was incredible. Thanks again for your help! - Pete
Now that the Titan with MyRide has the 26 hp Kohler, would you go with that? If it had the zt-3100, I would have bought it yesterday. However, the zt-2800 is basically the zt-3100 but with sintered gears vs cut. Toro adds the charge pump to the zt-2800 making it closer to zt-3100. My back is bad too, so MyRide is more desirable. I do like meaner stance of the Max though!
I loved both. If the new My Ride has the 26, I would get that.
We have 2.5 acres of fairly flat field. I’m thinking Max is the way to go.
It is a beast of a machine. It would be perfect.
The best Titan made was the 1st edition Titan HD 2000. came with ZT 3400 Hydros! Full professional frame full size casters 7/10 steel deck and Kohler commercial engine, pretty much all the specs from the 3000 Z master series.. All Titans have since become homeowner models with far less commercial specs.
Now they are putting commercial specs back in to homeowner models like the Max
The Max looks like a good model . On my HD 2000 I cut 5 acres per week (during spring and summer) of farm property and about 1 arce of manicured lawn. Toro decks provide a great cut. @@CountryLivingExperience
@@horacedunson6929 The decks are awesome for sure. I cut about the same each week.
Thanks.
You're welcome
Hi, why don’t you mulch instead of side discharge?
Just personal choice
Where did you buy it? I never have one but I will get one but I don't know which one.Titan Max at homedepot is $6,670
We got it from a local small dealer. It was $5999
Never buy from a box store. Find a dealer who deals in nothing but lawn equipment.
Do you feel the Toro engine with the larger air cannister will out live the Kohler engine without? IOW, do you think the Toro engine on the regular titan is more durable than the 26hp Kohler?
I can't say which is more durable. The Kohler seems more powerful but it has 1.5 more hp.
Have you figured out how to not tear up the turf with the larger tire? I’m looking at the Max to buy in the next week or two
Yea, you just have to go super slow in the corners.
@@CountryLivingExperience thanks, my titan max is on order
@@BreadAndGatorade Awesome. You'll love it.
Does the my ride make a big difference compared to the max, without?
It does if you have a really rough property and are trying to mow fast. I really liked it because I have a bad back.
Big difference!
Wat if both mowers have the same motor and ones 4500 and ones 5500
Titan MyRide all the way. Why would you go without the comfort, especially with a bad back?????? I spend three hrs on my Titan 60 every time I mow. Don't feel like I got run over by a truck when I'm done.
I had to weight and balance the different features. I still love the MyRide.
I like the left Toro Mowers..
She is beautiful.
I have that one but mine came with kholer 7000 engine. That is weird
Must be the model year.
@ 3:31 there goes the dog again. :-)
He never stops....lol.
I just got a '23 2000 series Z master which is basically the older Titan Max series. From the view and comfort, I like it. I have not cut yet to see how everything goes. I just got rid of a 23year old Lazer Z so this should be an upgrade. I love the seat and would not have got it with the My Ride. I simply do not like that moving platform. Thats just my own personal preference.
Mine has the 24.5 kawasaki motor and 3800 pumps with top speed of 11mph. I am the same way about the gas gauge. Seems silly and lazy to not put a real gauge on it where you can see it from the seat.
I think the max is an easy pick. Again I am not a fan of the my ride but the upgrades on the max are far and above a stat sheet. The one thing I would change on the max is a true commercial motor with HD filter.
Cool. You're right, the Max upgrades do go way above the stat sheet. I wish it had that commercial filter on it too.
Im not sure if anyone else here has mentioned this, but if you do a "K" turn, you will be less likely to tear up any grass. I do have a few videos on this subject on my channel, check it out. Love your content, New subscriber here!
I just purchased a Toro Z Master series 5000 60 inch deck. I have not yet had a chance to run it yet though! Looking forward to the spring.
Thank you. Yes, I could have been a bit more gentle and do that K turn but wanted to use it like I normally would on the farm and drive them both the same.
Glad to have you here!
@@CountryLivingExperience Sure no problem. Hopefully you had a chance to check out my stuff.
You need to do a video of your co host (dog) lol he ran across so many times 😄
I have been meaning to do that. He is running around in every video.
@@CountryLivingExperience what do you recommend for a 4k budget
Definitely an eXmark! They are bullet proof. You can get a new Quest S for about $4400+/-
I have a Titan with the my ride and my property here in Az is Really rough. You dont feel a thing with the my ride and you dont feel and difference in the handling or horsepower between the two. In my opinion the Titan my ride is the superior mower just for the my ride suspension system.
Do you have a MAX as well?
@@CountryLivingExperience I dont have the Max. I will say though as a person who mows Extremely rough terrain the My Ride is what sways me over the max plus I got a fuel gauge. The max has 2hp and a rops. But as a certified Toro Master Technician the 2hp and rops doesn't make the Max a better machine. If your wanting to mow rougher areas you need to give the my ride some love. The my ride makes mowing very rough terrain enjoyable I know because I have 2.5 acres of seriously rough terrain in Northern Az that I mow. I have been a turf equipment technician for 21 years with extensive training in Z mowers and the My ride is a friggin game changer. Yeah the max has 2 hp and a rops. but thats about it. If ya dont wanna be beat to shit after mowing the my ride is the way to go. ALso the tire size isnt a big deal. I mow through BULL THORNS and the tire size means nothing but the rating might be what you need to consider. The tires are 4 ply rated. if you have bull thorns or rougher terrain you may want a higher ply rating than 4 ply.
I love everything about the Max except, like you I have back problems so the no suspension on the Max is a no go for me 🤦🏻♂️
I totally understand. I am actually testing the brand new MyRide right now and I can say it is way better than the original I had in this video. I should have that video out in the next few weeks.
@@CountryLivingExperience looking forward to it, thanks!👍🏻
@@CountryLivingExperience Toro, if you’re paying attention, you need to make a Havoc edition out of the Titan 60 inch my ride with rops. That would be worthy of the Havoc designation !😁👍🏻
Hi bro!! How much for new Titan Max
It is $5999
The price he’s quoting is no longer relevant due to Plandemic’ pricing. They went up considerably like many other brands except for Encore brand. Encore is now owned by Chinese Billionaire that has his own steel foundry; hence they didn’t increase their pricing due to steel costs in America.
I love Toros
They are awesome.
I have to say that you do get much more on the Max than the Myride for the same money. I think it's a no brainer that one would go with the new Max.
It is a sweet machine.
Well yeah when you try and cut 12" height grass at mach 10 most machines will bog a little. Top speed is really irrelevant. If you want a good cut you don't cut full speed. Those tires are way too aggressive and roll bars just get in the way. Frame size is so miniscule different. It's a lawn mower not a atv. I wouldn't give up the Myride, gas guage, and better brake for the Max. The only benefit I see is the higher back of the seat on the Max. Everything else is trivial.
At 4:14 zoom dog again. :-)
Titan max great mower
Absolutely
NOW..How does the Titan MAX compare with the Z-Master 2000 (or even the Z-4000)
Also it would be nice if Toro gave you the option for the Kawasaki Engine.
Other than that nice video. BTW: Isn't the Max 'larger' dimension wise then then Regular Titan?
It may not seem that much but if you are short on storage space it is...
Thanks. That would be nice if they gave me another pro model but I won't hold my breath.
The MAX is larger being on the old HD2000 frame. It is about 1.5 inches taller and a few inches longer.
My ride ,what's that?
My wife and I bought the Titan Max 60” and, after just 4 hours, the main belt pulley bolt snapped. I called Home Depot in Warner Robins, GA, but they’re not in the business of “fixing” sold mowers, so they said ”call a Toro service center,” which means NOTHING since EVERYONE of those service centers is INDEPENDENT.
So, the independent mower shop’s first question is…”did you buy it from US? If not, the warranty means NOTHING.”
I called Toro HQ and they said the same thing…without apologies.
Thankfully, the good people at Home Depot said “bring us your repair invoice and we’ll refund you the cost.”
Meanwhile, and $110 dollars later, our neighborhood expert power equipment guys at Giles Outdoor Power serviced our Titan Max, having had to extract the remaining broken bolt from the deck housing and replaced it with one made in the USA, not the Chinese one that came with the mower.
Yeah, Toro, get your fake warranty and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. Otherwise, FANTASTIC product.
Ron Paul 2024!
Wow no my-ride on the max deal breaker and back breaker for me.
They are totally different machine types.
I almost got a brand new titan 8850 for 4800$ with my john deer d160 trade in which was a lowes special.
