I spent the money in 2015 and bought a commercial grade Gravely and have had to replace one spindle. This place we bought in Missouri these people when they were done with objects they let them lay. Two weeks ago mowing a small pasture hit barb wire and it stopped the blades right now. With my heavy duty lawnmower Jack and a few minutes of removing the blades I was back in business. Love the zero turns,I had 2 of them and one lawn tractor and would always go with a zero!

If you take the chute off the side it will discharge 10x better in the wet. Also they make a mount for a trimmer you can put on the mower to drive where you need to weed eat. Check it out!

Put out some temporary electrical fence and send in the goats. They can enjoy eating the grass and Rebecca can shave off still more mowing time. Just saying.

I work at a toro dealership and the 4000 and 4000 hdx series are one of the best mower in the line excellent quality and the Kawasaki engiens are very heavy duty never go with anything else

Rebekah looks like a professional on the new mower. Good purchase!

Rebecca, I always put my phone is a quart size ziplock baggie….. learned that lesson the hard way…. Love mowing except when it’s to humid…..

I have a Ferris zero turn, they are absolutely terrible when it’s wet. I’ve had to pull mine out numerous times with my tractor. In fact I chuckled a few times watching you try to push it out and then ending up towing it.

Hi... Evan and Rebecca nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🌱🎥👍👍👍

Rebekah knows her lawn mowers. That is an excellent selection in a mower. Should last a long time. Congrats.

That's definitely the mower Rebekah needed for that much property to mow. Great job Rebekah. 🤟😄

Awesome job Rebekah. For the life of me, I don't know why Zero-turn mowers don't have Diff Lockers. They get stuck way to easily. You're both living the life, most of us wish we could.

Zero turn mowers doesn’t have a axle as in a tractor type mower each wheel has its own drive motor. The wheel that must do the turning is the one that is stuck. I actually put small 4 wheeler tires on my old zero turn which helped a lot when I would get too closed to the edge of a wet spot. Hope this helps to understand why zero turns dont have a way to lock both rear wheels together.

That is a fantastic mower. I love the bouncy seat, I'll bet her back felt a whole lot better when she finished that cutting. She has that zero turn down pat as well. So happy for you both. A fine investment. Have a Blessed day.

Don't get too hung up on the spindles being aluminum housings. Keep in mind the commercial and professional spindles are able to be rebuilt rather than replaced. I worked at a place that beat the daylights out of a zmaster and did 0 maintenance for years and it survived. Keep a spare set of blades on hand and keep up on the maintenance, including the wheel drives, and you'll get many, many, years of service from it.

Like the new O turn mower .

More videos of this type. Please. Not that the others aren’t great but it’s always cool to see the property all mowed up and green.

yep, looking VERY LUSH and GREEN!

I went from 7 hours down to 2 hours mow time when I bought our zero turn... Now I have mow time to do so much mow

I’ve been running a 27 acre field twice a month with mine for almost 3 years and have never had an issue with the aluminum spindles. I’ve never had any issues at all for that matter. I’ve got the MyRide version, which is the only reason I initially went with Toro, now I’m never going back!

I got this mower specifically to be able to drive it through a 36 inch door kzread.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend or gate It is a little tight with the grass deflector installed but has more clearance with the deflector replaced by the recycler/mulcher. This model appears to be popular and a little harder to find for that reason. I can't judge the dependability as I have only mowed the yard twice but everything else on the mower is very nice and working fine so far. I added options for the run hour timer, arm backrests, recycler/mulcher, towing bracket, deck lift assist and cover.

I'm happy for you, Rebekah!! It will make the chore of cutting the grass a little more enjoyable 😉

just picked mine up today, I got mine with the KAW. 35 hp thanks for the review

Love you guys together... fantastic mower!

Rebekah deserves the best ride when mowing your challenging property. Glad she bought the one she wanted.

Looks a great machine.

I've only got a half acre and a Gravely 42" EXT but watching Rebekah has convinced me to get up now, and go mow, just for the pure fun of being a 76 year old, outside, playing on my zero turn every chance I get. An f-16 might be more fun but I don't have one.

For future reference, good she had the wheels turning when you pulled the mower out of the mud, but if you pull out the machine as a one person operation, make sure you release the hydro pumps first. And don't forget the 10 hour oil change.

Word of advice, take a leaf blower and keep the deck of the mower blown off, this will save wear on the spindle bearing and help keep the belts running cooler.. A leaf blower will help you out a bunch in keeping the mower in top shape...

Yea agree. After I started pressure washing. I thought, maybe I should have blown all the grass out first. I have really been thinking about buying a gas powered leaf blower. I could use it on all my hay equipment as well.

@@CountryViewAcres i love my echo backpack blower. I have 2 acres of wooded pasture i have to keep leaf-free.

Me and my wife sure got a big laugh about the getting stuck in the pond. I used to have to drag her out of the pond about 50% of the time she mowed. Gotta get that last blade of grass, bless their hearts.

Hey my grandparents brand has that and I was little I always ride with my grandparents mowing their yard and now they're getting older I run that lawnmower by myself mow the whole yard by self that is a good lawn mower

Awesome video. I have a Z Master for 16 years and still mow great. Other than normal maintenance I have replace the center spindle. Toro has the best zero turn on the market, best warranty in the market. I retired working for John Deere and I still bought a Toro. There was no comparison.

Mower is a beast. I think the biggest maintenance item will be keeping the blades sharp. Get a couple extra sets of blades and keep them sharp.

I listen to the same things while I mow! 😀

Nice little toy you guys got there be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

I had a toro and moved to a spartan. love it

Keep up the maintenance and you'll be happy for years to come. Amazing even cut even when the grass is a bit wet.

You'll love that new mower, definitely have a help system handy to get it unstuck around the pond and ditches. That's the only draw back to it. Stay safe and enjoy it maybe rig up some mud guards to shield the driver. Fred

Thank you for the awesome review! Good axvice abput thr spindles. Thank you.

If you mow away from the fence row you don't get all the grass clippings building up in your fence row and it just looks nicer.

You can get really nice pull behind carts and other accessories that you pull behind for Toro's like that.

"Toro"..one of the best........Had a Toro when we had a house.......Toro even has a closed cab (like your TYM) mower with air and heat.........

Glad to see your wife is a hardy soul good for you my wife is so lazy I can barely get her to go get groceries

Brand new toy for Rebekah and it is exactly what she wanted, how cool is that. Cut Cut Cut Rebakah

I love my Ferris for the suspension!

7:17 the duck was warning you about what was about to happen xD

Get yourself a set of atomic blades throws out less clumps and gives a great finish. Dont worry about the spindles we run a few of these and in 15 years i have changed 2 spindles but that was caused through operator error,have fun

Good for Rebecca,I am proud for her. She loves to cut grass. God bless

Love the lawnmower, I have the smaller one 4200 Timecutter, it too is a good mower and years old too. Something I bought recently, I must tell you about. A gas transfer pump, they have them at Harbor Freight. I think around $11.00, At my age, that 5 gallons of gas gets heavier each year. This is the best thing since sliced bread. Your wife will love it too, Believe me. Google it up.

Your right about that one I had one loved it prints failed and leaks everywhere now I use a siphon hose

Best mower you could have bought man for real. She picked well.

I've had a Gravely zero turn for 20 yrs. I get it stuck at least once a year lol. It has to be pulled out. It is starting to have some problems but it has been a great mower. ENJOY your new mower.

Nice purchase there guys. That beast of a mower should last well beyond 10 years. Especially the way you've been trying to take care of your equipment. One bad thing about a zero turn is that usually once you start spinning in the mud you're going to be stuck before you know it.

Rebecca, congratulations on getting your new lawnmower.

Rebecca, they say we eat an amount of dirt every year. You may as well drink all of yours today. You are doing great with the new mower and it does a great job and I am glad it saves you hours of mowing time.

Those are great mower

I mow commercial and I will say that is the best engine you can get for power and reliability

Toro has been in the lawn mower business for a very long time. They should know how to make the very best. And I understand they do.

Toro Lawnmowers are built inBeatrice, Nebraska by EXMARK

A set of hi lift blades will transform that thing into a grass cutting beast. Loose the rubber chute so it will throw the grass out farther instead of leaving windrows and loose the pulley covers over the spindles to reduce belt heat and wear.

Go Rebekah. Wow you really got that mower rolling fast well done. I was waiting for Even to get all dirty when the mower got stuck and he was pushing. 🙄The perfect mower for you guys you chose well Rebekah.👍👍

it's been a very wet spring. I got stuck in the mud & my neighbor got stuck the same day also. We had to pull mine out with a truck

Gonna give the benefit that you lifted the deck when the mower got stuck.

Working at a toro dealer, you can adjust the deck lift back if it makes it easier. The golf bolt can be moved to either of the two settings. Make sure you do a 10hr engine oil change and the transmission filters and fluid at 75hrs and you won’t have any issues. The 74054 toro’s are an awesome machine!

Good on you bud😊

Really good choice of mower, we purchased the Toro Titan 60” last year and it is a beast. We live on steep ground and I wrecked it 7 times before I bought some Wanda ATV sand tires, it tears up the grass every now and again but I only mow about a half acre we care about, the rest is pasture. The forged deck and welded front end are seriously heavy duty. Likewise, that seat is the bomb, they call it “my ride” on the residential mowers, and I’ll mow for six hours on it with no real fatigue. Great episode, look forward to more. Cheers, Dan and Elle

When your wife got stuck that's why I bought a john deere x700 series with 4x4 and locking Differential with 4 wheel steering worth every penny. It really gets you out of spots like that.

Helpful tip, when mowing around the fence blow the grass away from the fence. It makes it easier to weed eat along the fences. Teaching wy grandson how to mow with my 48" Toro zero turn. Love my Toro, good choice, I have 89 hours on it now. Enjoy the videos and look forward to seeing more in the future. Chris from Brenham Texas.

No problem, Rebekah. TYM 574 pulls out in 1 second.😁🚜🍃🌿☘️✂️✂️❤️😇❤️😎👍

That mower is a beast but she needs to be very careful around the pond. I know several people who've had their mower slide right into the water. One nearly drown. Just be aware that the ZTR can slip sideways quick!

Nice Mower , Cuts That Long Grass Well, The Longer The Grass The Longer It Should Take To Cut. Short Grass You Can Wiz Over Quickly. I Like The CHUNKY Big Wheels On The Back... Those Spindle Bearings You Should Be Able To Take Out The Spindle Shafts & Take Out The Bearings , Remove The Bearing Caps Gently & Pack With Grease. Put Caps Back On Bearings & Re- Install

Can’t beat a Toro mower. They perform very well

Nice mower 😀

Raise the deck it will help in the muddy places when it starts to spin lol doing a great job nice mower

My 2006 Scag Tiger Cat with the Briggs & Stratton engine was a disaster. Undersized starter would not start below 50F and then one year after purchase, factory scratch on engine split line caused the gasket to get sucked into the engine. Dealer and Scag were of no help. I ate the cost and had the local garage mechanic fix it. Gave the mower and leaf catcher to my neighbor for $1000 and he is still driving it with the starter problem. Loved the mower quality, so I bought another Scag with a different engine from a different dealer. I have a 2014 Scag 52" Tiger Cat zero turn mower with 26" tires and 27 Hp Kawasaki engine, steel spindle. Love it. Welded steel plate deck - not bent sheet metal. Tall grass - no problem and should last rest of my life. Caution: the zero turn mowers do not traverse across steep hills very well. You have to go up and down but not across (they slide).

I went with the diesel kubota. zd1211-60. all my machines are diesel. Tractor, mower, RTV and generator. Gas becomes a pain in the butt if it sits around too long.

Mulching blades for the win! congrats on the zero turn you will never go back.

I run an X MARK 60" mower and all summer long I sit on the seat 8 to 10 hours a day 5 days a week at the camp ground I work for and it's the most comfortable mower I have ever used

Hello Evan,Rebecca mower looks great. I have about 1.5 acre total to cut and it's been to wet so if you want bring over and you can help me lol. Have a great day.

you have 2 feet high grass and us up here in Alberta Canada have snowflakes flying around. Global warming can start kicking in anytime now. Great mower. good purchase

Nice mower.

Kind of Weird seeing this tonight because it's the second time this week I've seen that toro. Good to know they make decent stuff.

Toro has a factory right here in Plymouth, Wisconsin. It's a great company to work for from what I here from friends who work there. Congrats, now do some work!

I mounted a harbor freight winch on the front of my new zero turn to pull myself out, very easy to put on just drill two holes in that front plate. I've been called by neighbors to pull them out

Congrats Rebekah on getting the new mower. looks like it will be a KEEPER..

Rebecca needed a new mower and that Toro looks like a good one and it cuts well.

Nice zero turn

I loved the stubborn duck. 😄

You guys have too much fun - Stop iT! :)

If u are on any type of hill make sure that you have the roll around up we had a local man Sunday break his neck when his zero turn mower flipped over

You guys are awesome Rebecca is very cute👍🏻😁

Ferris has springs and shocks. I love mine. I have a Toro also.

This mower is so much fun to drive! 😃 I bet you'll see Rebekah less in future... Note on the table: "Gone mowing!" 😉 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

First thing I noticed, was how extremely close it could cut to your raised beds, that was actually really impressive! I bought a husqvarna 4wd front deck mower this spring, and it does not cut that close even that its a commercial mower, so that is a really nice thing! Second thing, was how it blasted through that very high grass, so I think you bought yourself a winner here!

I am glad Rebekkah has her new lawnmower. I had suggested that zero turn last year. I have 2 of them to keep my place fully cut. Only time I see nephews wanting to come cut grass. They want keep their parents home grass cut. Must be that push mower that stops them.

I can see why Rebekah likes it! I would to if I had grass. Looked like it did a great job!

Love the mower and the grass! Beautiful

Nice! Think about blasting the underside with fluid film, keeps the underside of the deck nice year after year.

I got a used Dixie chopper and put ATV tires on it, talk about going anywhere, Ive gone through water that deep with zero issues.

Those Toro's weigh about 1200lbs, so if they're stuck, plan on getting something to pull them out lol. I learned that early on myself.

Toro has always been a top shelf product. It seems Rebecca is a top shelf operator as well. For getting used to a new machine she really handles it well. Zero turn isn't a good fit with our property due to all the slopes we have. I know a lot of folks share by them though. Seeing it is a Toro I 'd like to share an anecdote if I may. Back around 1979 a friend d I worked with in Texas was looking at a new lawnmower for his 2-1/2"acre property. Every day at lunch for at leastvtwo months he looked at different dealers and models. He finally decided on a Toro. It turned out that the service manager for the Toro dealer lived very close to my friend so the manager said he would deliver the new mower free of charge since he would be coming home anyway. The big day arrived and this service manager was obviously very proud of his product. He unloads the machine, hops on the seat and says to my friend something to the affect, "Now THIS is a mowing machine!" and proceeds to charge across my friend's lawn. The engine roared, he moved at impressive speed, but no grass was cut. Not one blade of grass. The service manager, very red-faced stopped the machine, did a few checks and loaded the machine back onto his rig. He turned to my friend and through gritted teeth told him he would bring the mower back tomorrow and "By God IT WILL CUT GRASS!" His technicians had failed to install the idler pullies on the deck. My friend and I wished we could have been flies on the wall when that manager took that machine back to his shop. We suspect somebody, as or multiple somebodies, got an earful that morning. True to his word the machine returned the next evening and cut flawlessly. I don't know how many years of use my friend got out of it since I took another job and lost touch with him, but every time I see a Toro mower I think of him and this event. Lol

Toro is an awesome machine. Mine has the MyRide system and it’s extremely comfortable. Highly recommend it.

I SO identify with Rebekah's struggles. I mow with a commercial JD Z930M, and it's SO EASY to get that thing stuck next to the pond. Sometimes it just doesn't look as wet and soggy as it is, and that rear-wheel drive can really bury itself fast. The only thing I do NOT like about the JD is that it doesn't have the air ride seat. It'll definitely beat you to death if you're trying to hurry. Congratulations on your new purchase, guys. I hope you'll enjoy it for years to come!

Hey guys everything is looking great. 👌❤😇
