I broke the 2 bolts off in the deck that holds the pulley bracket. Any suggestions how to remove them? They wouldn’t budge and they snapped flush to the deck. I can see them underneath.
I picked up a Milwaukee hedge trimmer this year, thing is amazing honestly. I had been using my echo pas attatchment but that thing is so big when I have small bushes to do. It really kills the shoulders too. Now I use the Milwaukee battery powered trimmer and It’s way easier and faster when I have small bushes to do. I recommend it if you are ever in the market
I keep thinking about buying the Milwaukee hedge trimmer and chainsaw since I use those tools so infrequently but I struggle to justify the cost. Was actually looking at the Bauer products from harbor freight as a cheaper alternative for a tool I use once or twice a year
Regards to the engagement belt, how slack should that be when fully engaged? Mine is still a little loose even when adjusted to maximum if that makes sense? It's currently losing power when the blades hit the grass?
Why did you not get the heavy duty replacements the first time you ordered? I'm curious due to I'm considering getting a Timemaster. I had one before but not long enough for this to happen.
To the best of my knowledge this is an upgraded part that wasn’t available before although I believe this is actually the same kit the Turfmaster uses and apparently several of the parts from that machine can be used on the Timemaster
I switched from the Timemaster to the Turfmaster this year because I was tired of repairing the timemaster all the time. Its a great machine but I'm just hoping the turfmaster can handle my workload a little better. Thanks for the video!
Hey man, I have 2 Timemaster and I’ve had them for over a year, I am looking toward getting a Turfmaster, is it a good investment? Or would you stick with Timemaster ?
I actually went back to timemaster this year, the turfmaster is just so heavy. The Turfmaster is definitely a tougher machine, it has a much bigger gas tank (I can do about 10 lawns before needing to fill up; with the Time Master I fill up about every 3 lawns) but it is very heavy and tougher to maneuver also I found squeezing the throttle to be hard on my hands (I prefer the personal pace system as well) I'm keeping the Turfmaster as a back up because I do find that the Timemasters run into more little problems and need a lot of little repairs over time. Overall I can do the same amount of work with either one (around 15 lawns a day) but it's easier in my opinion to use the Timemaster, not to mention a lot less money!
I clicked on the link and it says the brand is ex mark but I’m guessing it still works with the time master or else you wouldn’t have put that link? Lol
@@zacharygustafson4914 maybe??? That’s awesome you’re going to pick one up man! Idk that box is pretty big, you may end up having to assemble that sucker in the parking lot lol
@@TheRandyDulin it ended up fitting but had to take out of the box and sit it sideways in the back seat! Are there any grease fittings I need to keep up with? Never had a mower this big before
Last part of the video is interesting but being a lawn and landscape guy since 1987 I never envisioned middle aged men filming themselves in they're trucks spouting opinion, thoughts, and footage of everyday labor.

There shouldn’t be any slack. Sounds like the belt is stretched and needs to be replaced
Rany I take you bought this replacement parts at Jack's if you did do you have a part #?? Thank you
Toro #126-7890
I actually got it at my local dealer, Derek is right about the part number. I also posted an Amazon link in the description
@@derekwalton6863 thank you

@@TheRandyDulin I think I'll Just pull the trigger on A Turfmaster or Exmark HDX model.
Probably the smart move
The kit you reference is black steel pulleys….why are the ones in the video look like billet?
I have no idea. Looks like the same solid one piece construction but def a different color.

I thought about the turfmaster but I really like the personal pace system on the timemaster
@@TheRandyDulin Yeah, I like the personal pace system as well, not having it took some getting used to lol

What kind of Chinese bearings are they putting that thing?
I wanna upgrade mines too that. Just upgraded the blades to copperheads
How are those new pulleys treating you a year and a half later?
Perfect. Absolutely no issues
Is that from Amazon Randy? Do you have the part number? I’m looking for Commercal pully for a long time but couldn’t find it.
Toro #126-7890
Derek is correct on the part number, I posted an Amazon link in the description
Randy, would you say that is the only thing that has broken on your timemaster over the years who've owned it? Thanks
Only major thing to break. I know some people have issues with the transmission but I haven’t had that issue
@@TheRandyDulin Ok cool! Good to know. Thanks!
How’s it holding up
Great!
Great One Randy 😎🤙
Thanks man

Yep. Toro owns exmark and the 30in mower for both brands is the same machine with different stickers.
@@TheRandyDulin alllllright. Off to buy one now. Will it fit in the back of a car?😂 like still in the box?

Woah five time cost as much
Yea those pulleys are junk. I’ve replaced 3 pulleys 1 1/2 seasons.
