- We do a full review of the brand new Toro Titan 60" zero turn mower with the MyRide system. We partnered with Toro on this review. The mower was put through some tough tests here on our large acreage to see just what it could handle. Help support our family and channel! Shop Amazon through this link: www.amazon.com/shop/countryli....
We were tough on this mower and will continue to be as we put it through another 4 month long performance test after which we will do a follow up review video for all of you. Toro did compensate us for this review.

My Toro Titan was delivered to my place yesterday. 60 inches was the way to go!!! It took much fewer passes with this beast. The My Ride system was the real reason I bought this Toro and I didn't even feel anything the whole time I was mowing. Like sitting on a cloud. What a pleasure it is to mow now !!!
That's awesome! Have fun with it.
Great review. I also live in East Texas. I have 4 very flat acres to mow and this was the best I’ve found for the price range. Looking forward to your next review.
Thanks neighbor. It has been a beast so far. I have about 11 hours on it and will do another review hopefully at about 25 hours.
You convinced me to buy this model. I was looking at several manufacturers and models but now I’m buying this one. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Couple things:
1. Thanks for the great review on this mower.
2. Go Blue!
lol.
1. You're welcome
2. Go Green!
Nice review! Have 6 acres of maintained area similar to your terrain on our farm up here in Canada. Going to pick this exact mower Monday. Will do a review. Thanks!
Cool. Thanks.
This will be my next mower. Great review!
Thank you! It has been an awesome machine.
I’ve got a Toro ZTR 5050 - I love it. I named it the gun ship.
Awesome! Great name. I think I am going to name this one the Beast.
That thing is massive! I want one so bad! Take my money TORO!!!
It tears through grass like a knife through warm butter.
Thank you for making this video on this specific model. There is not a lot of info for this model, unfortunately. I got my 60 inch Titan last year and it is an incredible machine. Nice work on this video. Thanks for the great info!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful. We did a few other videos on it as well.
I'm jealous. I got the MX 5075 with my ride last year. It was everything I could have wanted, until I watched this. Enjoy it while u can, and blow the grass away from ur trees.
It is a great machine but I am sure you MX5075 is awesome too. FYI: I don't blow grass at my trees, that was just to demonstrate the chute flexibility.
@@AT-IT-Again-7 Wow. Sorry for your bad experience. My Mom had has a Toro timecutter for 11 years with no issues. You must have gotten a lemon. You should try calling Toro.
@@AT-IT-Again-7 you are a compition shill. i have seen you post so many differing comments against this toro....NO MACHINE could have that many stories. also you post from a zombie youtube channel with no content. shilling for huskaverna no doubt or SKAG
Every video is a partner with Toro!!
Yikes. Cali has issues.
Can’t wait to get my Titan 48” with myride been waiting on the phone call for delivery and introduction to the mower from my local shop literally 2-3 days away I’m like a kid at Christmas lol kinda sad what we get excited about later in life haha
I totally understand. You will love it when you get it though.
I'm waiting on my 60" TITAN w/MyRide. Hopefully get it today!
Brick Mudge I got my 48” last Friday and wholly crap it’s an awesome mower, quiet for the engine size and blade tip speed also the MyRide was soo worth the money in my opinion
@@aron6998 Sweet! It sure seems to be the best mower on the market at this price range. I figure I'll never have to buy another riding mower. That's why I spent the extra $$ and went for the Titan.
Just picked up 2020 Titan 48” with myride last night. Can’t wait to try it , 1st time zero turn owner.
Awesome. You will love it. I am filming a 20 hour review right now. Keep an eye out for that vid in the next few weeks.
Just bought a titan hd2000 so far so good.bent a blade hitting a rock but I managed to bend it straight
Nice! Toro's are awesome.
More videos please I am trying to get one for my property.
We will do more. Thanks
I bought a Toro timecutter for 150$ but it heeded a new motor I'll just get a new motor problem there is they no longer make the 590 anymore because some of the bolts back out get into motor and crack the block
I'm 5'6" will you tell me what you think about the seat adjustment for my height? Unfortunately there are no floor models in the stores around me. Thanks for the excellent video!
You're welcome. The seat adjusts well. You should feel perfectly comfortable on it.
They use that engine on some of the exmark models as well. It is a predator style engine. Good engine though. Good price at harbor freight. The my ride is sweet.
I love the my ride. It has saved my back for sure.
I noticed your Scalping Wheels are set to the highest setting. Or at lease that is as best can view them.
When I got my Timecutter with a 50" deck I dropped my Scalp Wheels to the lowest setting because I have a few mole holes along with other obstacles to get over.
Have you since making this video adjusted your Scalp Wheels at all?
I did. But scalping issues can also happen with deck width if on extremely uneven terrain.
It is nice, I just tried it two weeks ago but put it up against a Kubota.... I spent the extra money and went with the Kubota
What made you choose the kubota?
Hi there, great video, thank you. I have a 9ac horse farm. With finished front/rear lawns and then paddocks that all need to get mowed. Fields are more uneven but rocks are easily avoidable and nothing as dense as what you have (although it can be thick). I've been using a John Deere X720 which is 13 years old. Its been doing the job but dust is a big issue for it and i'm hoping to speed up my cutting times. Any ideas how this would do with dust/pollen and cutting times vs a more traditional mower like the X720?
You're welcome. A zero turn mower will cut down on mowing times considerably because of how fast you can transition in your turns. I can mow 5 acres in about an hour and 10 minutes. It is very dusty here and I have not had any issues. The commercial canister style air filter is really nice and easy to clean. Hope this helps.
@@CountryLivingExperience Wonderful, thank you. It takes me 5+ hours to do just the front/back and fields and then a 1-2 more to do the bits around the barns. Anything to save me 7 hours/weekend is going to be super helpful.
Follow up question since I have you on the line. For both fields and lawns mulching is more recommended from what I've read but it seems most ZT arent sold with mulching blades. What are your thoughts on mulching blades/mowers?
Thanks again!
I don't really worry about mulching. It has never affected my property in the negative. They are not sold with mulching blades but my tractor brush hog (which I was using) doesn't mulch either.
@@rob_mason mulching can spread deasease to a yard but rember these zeroturns have an extremely fast blade speed.....meaning they mildly mulching the clippings anyway and tossing them. viturally the same effect. i have the same type property as you, just side discharge is fine OR a rear discharge zero turn
@@crabtrap Thanks! I've been using my X720 with just side discharge. On the fields that's all I can do as it grows too fast/thick. For the front/back yards I've been bagging (24 bushel trac-vac) but that's a pain, slow, and another engine to deal with. Really depends if I can keep up with the mowing which is harder at the start of the season.
Very similar to last years timecutter HD. HD has 3100 ZT, different air cleaner, different deck adjustment. I own 2 timecutter HD’s, 54”, use them for my 50 lawn business, love the my ride.
Awesome. Yes, Toro is really stepping up their game.
I wasn’t able to find your long term test. Did the thing stay together for the few months you had it?
Lol. Yes, it is solid as a rock and I use it on long tall grass on rough terrain.
whats the best size for about a acre of yard but its like not flat its up down and a pain in the butt to mow
It all depends. What is your budget? Are they grass types tough to cut?
The wider the deck, the faster it will be to cut. The more horsepower, the easier it will be to cut tough tall grasses.
Good video
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I bought the Titan and I hate the parking break
How can I bypass the kill switch ?
I don't mind the parking break. I have never tried to bypass the kill switch. I have no need for that.
Would like to know the comparison between the Toro Titan and the Toro time cutter
The Titan is a heavier duty machine based on Toro’s commercial mowers.
debbie ,if you are mowing under 2 acres casually...the timcutter is a fine machine. the titan will handle a lot more miles between service becuase of heavy duty er parts
I bought one of these fir $6200. The thing started leaking oil before 7 hours. The dealer stuffed a crank seal, sprayed off the belt, motor,, painted surfaces and sent it back. It was still leaking oil. The belt slips the oil leak was the same the thing looks terrible at 15 hours. I spent two hours trying to talk to someone at Toro. Their customer service people will NOT talk to customers. They just steer you to the dealer. When it went back to the dealer, they now say it’s an o ring. So at 15.5 hours, it’s had the motor pulled twice, the belt has been alternately soaked with oil and carb cleaner. (Toro won’t warranty that) the seat tracks were not greased so the dealer is going to squirt some WD40 on those (and all the surfaces under the seat. The dealer said that oil leaks happen all the time on these...they’re so used to that problem that the just shrug it off and say those are the ones that were built on Friday afternoon. Piece of junk, crappy build and ZERO response from Toro. You’d think that they would want the their products to hold oil longer than 7 hours. So disappointed with this thing. It’s awful. Don’t waste your money. Buy a slag, husky or something else. I expect to have to keep bringing it back for warrantee work until it falls apart 2 minutes after the warrantee runs out.
Sounds like you got a lemon because I have never had one issue with any of the Toro's I have owned. Not one small issue.
What happened to the X-Mark you bought and did a video on last year?
I still have it. Toro gave us this one to test. They saw the eXmark video and thought I would be a good candidate to beat up their new model.
@@CountryLivingExperience I'm looking at buying a Toro Z master 4000 60" 74004 pro ..vs an Exmark 60" radius S series .. the Toro is $10,999 and the Exmark is $9500... how would you choose?
@@catherineklebba2235 Tough choice. Toro makes eXmark so either in my opinion.
Do you have any information on what in store for the 2021 range of Titans ??
We do. We have a new 2021 Titan and our video will be out this coming Sunday.
@@CountryLivingExperience Nice !! Thanks !
I've got a time cutter 54 inch with a 24.5hp. I think it's under powered. I think a 60 inch deck should have a minimum of 28 hp or more. 24.5 hp is for 50 inch and under.
Agree I run toro commercially (groundsmaster 7200 and a Zmaster 48in with a kohler efi) the 24.5 isn’t quite enough power for the 60in deck that someone I mow for just purchased. Still a solid mower but needs just a little more power
Can you do one on bobcat predator pro 7000 series please .
Sure. If they give me one to test.
Order of replacement parts after the first two to three years depending on hours - blades, belts, pulley bearings, tires... etc! :D
pine needles are almost as bad on the blades than dry sand... Eeeee yikes !
pine needles are great for pot holes in dirt roads
Absolutely
Any updates, how's it been working?
It’s an amazing mower. No issues
Does this mower have sealed hydro pumps?
No. They are serviceable.
Country Living Experience: A Homesteading Journey Thank you. Probably buy one now
I just bought one. Great cut. Smooth ride...totally didn't realize it didn't have a roll bar...I'm on steep farm field.
Can you find out if we can order a roll bar if it has the My ride?
They make the Titan MAX. We did a review on that one too and have a comparison video between them. The regular Titan does not have a ROPS. The MAX does have a ROPS and many other awesome features.
How does it do on hills? My be losing traction and wants to go else where
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks for the reply. I did source the ROPS kit for my mower...and a few other accessories. I purchased the light kit which plugged right in and also a sun/ rain white cloth cover which I regret. I wish I had bought a thick black plastic one on Amazon. The ROPS kits did add a couple hundred pounds to the mower and I had to install the front weights to keep from popping wheelies when on a steep hill climb. I still need more weight from what they sent. I wish the front tires filled with ballast. I already caught a piece of wire that punctured a small hole in the air filled tires.
@@xaviersantaclara1783 I mow thick blade field grass on bumpy farmland. Traction is good and I only slide when going down at an angle on my steep descents. Adding the ROPS roll bar kit does make prone to sliding more since their is more mass. I have found that if I go slower, I can still mow it. If you are on smooth thin bladed and watered grass....a double set of tires like a dually would help. Some people put chains on the rear tires but that will leave a bumpy finish for fine lawns.
@@AdamHegewald Glad you got the ROPS. Hopefully it is not too steep where you are mowing. I think they recommend nothing over 10 degrees. Since you got the ROPS, did you get a seatbelt too?
GOOD LUCK USING THE WARRANTY! I took delivery of this mower in June of 2020. Got through the mowing season without incident. In November I cleaned it and put in in my barn.
Out it came in April and during the first use of the season the belt broke, Tractor Supply was nice enough to give me a new belt. I installed it. Please note that I did not depend on the warranty to have this done by the service repair center. I installed the belt myself.
All was well for several cuttings then the belt came off. Upon inspection there was a missing bolt and the spindle was loose. I got a new bolt from tractor supply and tightened the other bolts. Replaced the belt AGAIN.
In June the belt broke once again. When I removed the deck cover I observed all four bolts were missing and and the threaded holes were stripped and enlarged in an oval shape making them useless.
At no time was there an accident involving the mower. It never hit anything as can be seen by observing the deck itself. Why there has always been a problem with the mower deck is unknown to me at this time. But I can tell you for certain that there has been a problem with it from very early on in it's time of use. I don't know the experience that other owners of this unit have had, but I'm sure the people at Toro have some data of problems that others have experienced with the 60" deck.
To say that this problem is not caused by a manufacturing issue is ridiculous. No one has told me what could have happened to have these belt problems. When I purchased the mower I was assured it had a three year warranty. In less than one year I began having belt problems.
The result of these problems is an unusable mower. I am incurring expenses every week having to have a service cut my grass. This has not been a good purchase experience. The "authorized repair center" has told me it will cost more than $900 to repair it.
I have not had any problems at all. Sounds like the bolts were loose from the start of assembly. If it was the dealer that assembled it, they could be at fault and not Toro.
Why do people not buy from a local trustworthy dealer? Big chain stores are for fools! You got what you deserve buddy! When you grow, maybe you will realize this.
@Brad Lindeman I've got to agree with this. Ignorant people make baseless or uneducated claims against solid products and scare other ignorant people out of giving them a chance. My Toro Titan is going on its 3rd year of heavy regular use on large property with a lot of roots, rocks, uneven terrain, etc. Its an incredible machine with zero issue to date. Runs like new to this day. Some of the best money ive ever spent. Couldn't be happier with it and never had a belt break or other issue for that matter.
I got a Toro Titan 54 inch and a couple things I don't like is that it is very jumpy and also it is terrible going on a slope. Besides that it's OK for a beginner guy. Will definitely sell it and go for a more expensive model that can handle going down hill and not so jumpy.
Not sure what you mean by jumpy. Mine worked smoothly.
Controls are very sensitive. In a way that you can't really maneuver it accurately.
@@xaviersantaclara1783 They are sensitive but I don't have a problem maneuvering carefully.
Is there a mulch kit for it?
Yes, Toro has kits for their 60" decks.
purchasing one this month of March....have to decide on deck size....either 54 inch or 60 inch...I'm undecided...price difference is about $500 for only 6 inches. Not sure why such a price hike between the two? Can understand a couple or few hundred but not 5. I know 60 inch will possibly scalp more. Probably will go with 54.
Awesome. I really like that 60" but it is a big wide for my orchard and garden area. 6" may not be worth the extra $500.
the 60" is actually CHEAPER then the 54", you must be looking at a 'My Ride' vs a non my ride version. remember the 60" isn't as popular as its a huge deck and must folk rarely have more then 2-3acres to mow. large properties just use a trad tractor with finish mower. again the 60" is cheaper
First riding mower
I’m curious about the differences between the Titan and the TIMECUTTER. We just got the TIMECUTTER with 60” forged deck and love it. It’s our first Toro and our first zero turn. We made a few videos about it. th-cam.com/video/5W0iOyq5AQU/w-d-xo.html
After owning the Titan for a few months, what are your thoughts? Is it worth the additional money over the TIMECUTTER?
In my opinion it is worth every penny so far. Although I have never owned a timecutter. I have an eXmark and it is every bit as tough as it.
@@CountryLivingExperience The eXmark would be quite a bit more expensive, right? How does the Titan do on gas consumption after the break in period - in other words, about how many hours can you mow on a tank?
@@PurpleCollarLife Yes, a comparable eXmark would be more expensive. I can mow for about 3 hours on a tank.
you showed that it had a choke...does it have efi? you’d think a 2020 mower would
No efi on this one. Their commercial line has some models with efi.
Country Living Experience: A Homesteading Journey oh jeez, you’d think by now they would all come with efi..it’s been around for so long!
@@josiahkunstman8168 ago is too much stuff to go wrong. Carb engines are fine for mowers. Way easier and cheaper to fix
Nice mower
Thanks. It is sure a blessing to be able to test it out.
@@CountryLivingExperience I bet it is. It would cut our mowing down in half.
Nice hat...go green 😁
Thanks. Go White!
Designed by Rube Golderg in an arrempt to compete with Ferris.
Lol. Ok
@@CountryLivingExperience ferris is just as good if not better then Toro. I owned a simplicity citation with 52" cutting deck and 22 hp b&s vanguard commercial engine on it for 13 years. It is the same mower as ferris is 1500 zero turn. Only difference is that ferris IS1500 model had a 25 hp kawasaki engine and it was painted red. Same parent company owns both brands. They also have 4 wheel suspension system.
My ride susspension makes the ferris susspension feel like a rock
Cuanto pagasteis por titán toro que muestras
When I received this model the retail price was $5999
Mow some damp thick grass with that 60 inch 24.5 hp. You will hate it.
I bought one of these and it got an oil leak at 7 hours. Dealer stuffed a new seal in it and it still leaks. Dealer didn’t clean it up at all. Seat slider doesn’t work. Spent about 2 hours trying to talk to a technician at Toro. Got nowhere. Called their VP of customer service. He wouldn’t talk to me. I got Haimer other guy...Luis. He said that the best answer I could get from Toro corporation was going to be from the 24 year old kid that stuffed in the leaky new crank seal and smashed my throttle cable. Local dealer tried to get the local toro rep to call me. That was last week. I bought this pos on the name alone. In summary...I bought it for full price, it has 12 hours and it’s already been to the shop and is still leaking. Toro doesn’t want to even talk about what it would take to fix it. I deeply regret this purchase already. Toro...terrible products, terrible people, terrible company
Hey Anthony, how did everything with TORO eventually work out? Did you have the 24.5 toro engine? I’m currently thinking about getting this mower or a SCAG Patriot.
Not liking your way of cutting grass! I would never let anyone hit a tree 🌲 with the discharge chute.
Hahahaha.....That is a strange comment Fred. This video is a test of a machine. Tests are challenging and simulate real world conditions. Homeowners often hit things with the discharge chute. This chute is designed very well to take hard hits.
I don't see nothing hard about that area all flat ground plus you need to learn how to mow stop blowing the gras into the uncut grass.
Doıf
Chamgedlades
We bought this mower and it was horrible....the deck bearings went out the first three months...2 months after the a plastic pulley on the drive belt system just came apart...the belt system on the deck is crap which causes your belt to fail early.. Toro just makes cheap stuff...do yourself a favor and buy something else...
Mine is in perfect condition years later. I beat it up on a country property with rough terrain. I think you got an anomaly. I have no plastic pulley.
Ba-hey-a
Depends on your part of the country.
Toro quit making anything that will last a long time ago.
I disagree
What do you call a long time ago? I bought the original Titan MX 10 years ago. It’s a F in beast!
I disagree. I bought a 4 year old 21in beat up pusher. 5 years later it still cut better then my nieghbors Cadet and honda.
I run a nj Lawn care business N i run the 42in timesaver at 4in and let me tell you. I dont need some giant commercial peoce to do the job
What are you talking about? Every manufacturer makes machines at various price points and you get what you pay for. This is not unique to any one manufacturer. I got my Toro Titan with my ride and the 60 inch deck going on 3 years ago and its used twice per week to keep my property in shape i have 5 acres of full lawn to mow and some areas of thicker brush and this machine runs like new to this day and is incredible condition. Very impressive and money very well spent on this machine. I couldnt be happier with Toro. Specifically this Model being built to a heavier duty spec in every way. You need to use the correct tool for the right job. I dont think its fair to knock Toro for some baseless claim like that.
@@patc2515 I think they are still on a scrap trailer by my barn. Where they belong. You buy whatever you want. Your money. I could care less.
alot more plastic than the old ones- looks cheaply made
Ok
what would you prefer??? cast iron fenders?
@@crabtrap lol ... some people . its super strong where it need it though
Are you still liking the toro myride? I’m looking at the Titan myride and the commercial myride I think it’s the 200 series
The MyRide is great. I just did a video testing the new 2024 model here....th-cam.com/video/hDQsws4tVjM/w-d-xo.html
