Taryl's new Toro Time-waster Time-cutter................



We had the same older Toro Time-waster Time-cutter featured in the video, with the same oil burning Krohler single cylinder. Every time the blades were engaged, the Krohler would squawk loudly and puff out a plume of oil smoke.

That machine was also replaced by another Toro, this time a Titan with the 23-hp Kindasucki. When it was new, the Kindasucki was actually Notsucki, plenty of grunt and no oil smoking either. As time went on, the Titan actually became a Time-waster. It was always throwing belts, would cut uneven, had out of sync drive bales so it would drive even, broken choke lever, hard starting when hot (not choke related)..............................

The Titan Time-waster eventually made way for a Ferris IS 2600. While I love how comfortable it is, the problem with the Ferris is that it's just too heavy, exaggerated by the 904 cc Yanmar 3-cyclinder diesel engine (I tried talking them out of the diesel as the petrol version with the Breaks and Scrappem was considerably lighter). Now they want to go back to Toro because of how hefty it is on the grass and a variety of manufacturing problems and reliability niggles; the automatic engine safety cut switch on the seat failed within the first 30 minutes, two leaking radiators due to poor design of supporting systems, exorbitant servicing costs.

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter if it's at the homeowner models or at the pro-grade machines, they are all American-made junk.
