Very happy
Couldn't be happier - great cut of the yard, just what it needed instead of my push mower.

    42" (107 cm) TimeCutter� SS4250 (74723)
    The very best investment I ever made, the very best.

      Worth every penny
      I don't write reviews. However, I am so happy with this purchase. The 42" cut is nice and even. This mower turns beautifully. I never operated a zero turn and wasnt very good at first near edging. But now I have gotten the hang of it and wished I'd purchased one years ago.

      I love this machine!
      I've owned four brand name riding mowers and this is by far the best one yet. I did my research of all the name brands and checked them all out and none compared to the Toro 4250 Timecutter in this size range. The quality of steel used and the parts are of exceptional quality and it has many features the other don't have. It starts first time every time and keeping running effortlessly. Once I got the hang of the steering bars, it became a blast to drive. Mowing the lawn is no longer a chore but an amusement ride that I enjoy doing now. My neighbor even let's me "play in her yard" so I can keep on going. I highly recommend this mower.

        Toro 4250 - one month review
        I've had the 4250 for about a month. No complaints of any kind. It runs and cuts well and has plenty of power. I am quite pleased with it and glad I bought it. I'd give it the max rating in all categories but don't think I've owned it long enough to do that. So far, so good though. Also, the zero turn is much more fun to mow with that my old standard lawn tractor. Only beef is that equipment like oil and fuel filters are pretty expensive.

        This product has outstanding features.
        Purchased my SS4250 today, 091115, from Hill's Lawnmower & Chainsaw, Inc, Huntsville,AL. I selected Toro based on it's reputation and Hill's in this area. The unit was assembled and checked, then operation was covered by Hill's mechanic. I am very pleased with their handling of my purchase, and look forward to continued association with Toro and Hill's. Thank you!

          Satisfied
          Very satisfied with my decision on the purchase of this mower. Great performance on this product so far. A little hard to learn to control but learning slowly how to maneuver this machine.

          Very difficult to start
          They are very hard to start. The dealers know it but are sweeping the problem under the rug.

            A great zero turn tractor!
            I bought this unit about 2 months ago. It took a little getting used to. (I had your typical garden tractor for 20+ years.) Once you get the hang of it, the time you spend cutting your yard is significantly reduced! The cut is like a golf course. no problems with the unit at all.

              Great mower
              Great mower, however a little disappointed that the dealer didn't make sure that the tracking was straight. I feel that the machine should have come already adjusted, but a quick check on YouTube directed me on how to adjust the tracking. Overall a great machine.

                Wouldn't start after 3-4 cranks right out of box
                Received in box today. Cranked up without a problem first 3 times. On fourth time, wouldn't crank at all. I could hear ignition switch working but engine wouldn't turn over. Battery fully charged. Not even 5 min run time on the mower. Will have to bring to nearest authorized dealer. Probably the solenoid or starter. What a shame Toro!!!

                  This is a very good machine, except……..
                  Machine runs and performs as expected, but trying to get maintenance parts except from a dealer is a chore.

                  THE ONLY WAY TO MOW
                  It took about an hour to get used to a Zero Turn Mower but my cutting time has gone from 2 hours to 35 minutes and the deck is only 2" larger. Good power, great handling, comfortable ride.

                  Good machine, will cut well for a long time, I am sure
                  Good machine. I like the way Toro has selected local dealers, in my case a nice, knowledgeable, accessible, small businessman, who brought my Toro to my house and quickly demonstrated its important features.

                  My first Z Turn. Big improvement over normal rider
                  Chose the delivery to my door. Excellent service, machine ready to roll. I have used twice on one acre home lot. Significant time reduction (and fuel). Even the lowest speed is better than the lawn tractor it replaced. I choose 42 inch deck as the 50 inch would only save a pass or two around the yard and storage width was a concern for me. I know that all Z turns would have worked, but I do plan to tow a lawn sweep, and utility cart so the hitch and tow speed sold me.

                  Love the Toro Time cutter
                  The mower is easy to steer, I like the three speed smart speed. I purchased the twin bagger along with this mower. The bags are much bigger than the bagger that I purchased in the past. I think the bagger straps for empting the bags are a little cheep, I don't expect them to last very long. The mower it self is great and dependable with plenty of power for cutting and bagging the grass.

                  TimeCutter SS4250
                  I have used this mower twice since I have purchased it. Love it, cuts the grass great. Yard looks like a golf course. I get a lot of comments on good it looks. The lever steering takes a little bit of time to get use to but after awhile becomes second nature. Love the engine it is powerful cuts thru tall grass with ease. Just purchased a bagger for it will see how that works.

                  Impressed
                  Used the SS4250 on a big lot with high grass and it handled it with ease. The only issue I have is that it's pulling to the left. I would have thought that the dealer would have checked everything before delivering it to me. Also the deck doesn't seem leveled. But all an all, l'm really happy with buying this product.

                  Time Cutter SS4250
                  I'm really enjoying my TimeCutter SS4250, first time using a zero turn and very impressed with the overall system and cutting of this machine. Highly recommend if someone is looking for a great zero turn.

                  Dont waste your money
                  My toro has spent more time in the shop for front wheel bearings than it has cutting grass. Don't waste your time with toro suctioned service or Home Depot customer service. They are no help,at all. Home Depot tells you to call the 1-888 number. Then you find out that they don't have anyone in the area to work on the mower.

                  Sounds like the machine needs to be inspected at an authorized Toro service dealer. We would recommend locating a dealer in your area through www.toro.com/dealer. *Choose a dealer who is listed as servicing the machine regardless of where purchased. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at consumer.service@toro.com with your model, serial #, dealer name and contact information. Toro
