Great video. Simple and concise instructions. Getting my new Toro Timecutter 50 " this week. Saving your video for my maintenance. Great job, keep the videos coming. Subscribed!
Just purchased a new Toro zero turn. It seems to be great and was a great choice. 23 hp with a 50 inch cut. I am cutting about 2 acres and its great except gotta learn how to manuver the banks along the road. Does not do well there. we have a huge gravely that does much better but its heavier with bigger wheels and a wider track..
I just bought a 2022 Timecutter 50" from a big box store, winter right now so it will be several months before I start it and use it but I am not finding anything on servicing the transmissions, I do see fill plugs but no drain plugs. I am thinking this mower has non-serviceable transmission but maybe I can somehow siphon out the oil and replace with new oil after some use. Any experience with that yourself? I am a little disappointed to find this is a non-serviceable area on what I believe will be an awesome mower. Thank you for an informative video!
Hello! Mine has sealed drives, and I don't think they even have fill ports. I have not had any issues, so I haven't had to play with them much. From what I have heard from others, you will have to replace them as soon as you find out they needed fluid. Doesn't sit easy with me, but what do you do. Hope you enjoy your new mower!
YES with a number 6 torx allen you can pull that fill plug and suck it right out. Takes 20w-50. Amsoil sells hydrostatic transmission fluid 20w-50 that is the best.
Hey sorry just saw this comments. Here is the link. I'll add it to the description as well. EPAuto 255 PSI Digital Tire... www.amazon.com/dp/B017S3MLHG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
tires are very different and the front need more pressure due to the size. if the manual says 30 put 30 if the manual says 16 in back put 16 in back. i usually follow the manual recommendations as they did the testing for you.
Hello! Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! I used valvoline synthetic 10w-30 (works best for my area and climate). If you look in the owners manual, they have a nice chart in there for recommended oil weight to use depending on the tempatures you will be mowing in. Take care!
One thing I didn't see was where the grease zerts are located. I know that should be more frequent than 100hr maintenance, but it seems an odd thing to leave out.
Hmm I may have missed it, but I believe it is every 25 hours (I'd have to check the book again). I usually do it every other week during the mowing season though. Thanks for watching!
Hey Daniel! Yeah I have seen that too. I have personally never done it, but maybe it would save me from having to check it one more time. You bet that's Hamm's! 😉
Hi Eric, they were both synthetic valvoline 10w-30. The red one is their high mileage blend. Which was left over from my old mower. So same oil different colored jugs 😉. Thanks for watching!
@PoyganOutdoors I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things. I just picked up last fall the 42" timecutter with the MyRide and checking out different info from others. You've got some good videos. Keep them coming!

Thank you very much! Enjoy your new mower.
Well done. Love the attention to detail and tips.
Thanks for such a detailed and helpful video! Just got one of these and I have this video saved for whenever it’s time for maintenance!
Thanks for the feedback Brandon! Enjoy your new mower! Take care

Everything was explained very well. Thanks
Well done! Thanks!
Love the video. There is also a sponge filter that goes over the air filter. Just hit my first 100 hours.
Oh good to know! Mine did not come with one, but I'll have to reach out to the dealer for one. Thanks again!
@@poyganoutdoors6406 mine didn't come with one either

@@raykelley234 Good to know.
Can anyone tell me where that transmission plug is
Nice tutorial. I always put a little anti seize on the spark plug threads.
What was that airgun. Didn't see the link for it. Nice video!

What size is the hose? You said 1/2", is that inner or outer diameter? Thank you.
Can you do one on changing the hydraulic oil….thank you for the down to earth video
When tightening oil filters by hand the general rule is 3/4 to 1 turn.
Did you use regular motor oil? Was it conventional or synthetic? Thanks for the awesome tutorial

You may find it easier using a flexible ratchet instead of the flexible socket adapter
I like the kevelar style belts then its time to change belts.
Great information, Poygan. A better microphone would remove voice echo and increase your clarity. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
what about the grease
When should I change my hydrostatic fluid?? Thx
Hi Brandon! I don't believe you can change your hydrostatic fluid on this model. I believe they have sealed hydros. Thanks!
Thank you
I think you tighten oil cap to check oil look at page 33 figure 38 that's the way I see it possible please tell me if I'm wrong thanks
Thanks! Mine says to not tighten it. Do you have the kawasaki engine as well? I know they come with different engine options. Take care!
Great job. Too bad you skipped how to replace the belt part since you covered everything else.
Thought he was going to do a fuel filter change

* zerks
i noticed some guys put oil in filter first and let it soak in? p.s. i saw that case of hamm's!
Hey Daniel! Yeah I have seen that too. I have personally never done it, but maybe it would save me from having to check it one more time. You bet that's Hamm's! 😉
Two different types/grades of oil?
Hi Eric, they were both synthetic valvoline 10w-30. The red one is their high mileage blend. Which was left over from my old mower. So same oil different colored jugs 😉. Thanks for watching!

Haha nope, you saw right! Thanks for the feedback. Videos should start back up here in a month or so when I get back from work. Take care!
My 75746 manual says to inflate front tires to 30psi and rear tires to 13psi.
Thanks!
DAMMIT I can't find my 10mm!
