I've heard great things about the Titan. Did you get the 60" deck? What are your thoughts after the initial mow? I'd be interested to know about gas consumption. My TIMECUTTER with the 60" deck really uses a ton of gasoline. I talk about it in this video: #30: Toro TIMECUTTER Zero Turn Mower First Break-in Oil Change at 5 Hours.

Yes, I did get the 60" deck. I was very impressed with the cut quality. I can't tell you much yet about fuel consumption because my other mower had a smaller fuel tank, and I started mowing yesterday with 2 partially filled gas cans. It didn't seem much different. I'll keep you posted.

This is why I always remove the lumber from my yard before mowing. :laughing:

Ordered the Big Boy spring kit for my Titan 60" My Ride. I'm a heavy guy, even at the top setting, I have the seat moved forward a notch and still sit forward in the seat to keep from bottoming out. Some parts of the yard look smooth but are far from that. I do slow down a tad on those spots, but want to sit back and relax. Loving the mower. Oil change done at 5 hrs, just over ten hrs now.

Watching those vids, they obiously don't own the mowers. Drive it like you stole it.

That's why you never ever buy used equipment that a mowing service has used.

I also bottomed out the MyRide and where someone described riding like a small canoe is correct. Looks like Toro is coming out with a zero turn with suspension. Look for MyRide to disappear.

I don't buy the canoe comparison. Had canoes for many years, when you tip, you go over. The My Ride system is quite firm in the shocks, yet forgiving in the rough stuff. Simple answer, don't go so darn fast. I don't beat my truck up on rough gravel roads.
I like the comment about removing lumber before mowing.

For me it wasn't the side to side motion but the uneven front to back movement. Hopefully the new springs will help out.

Where did you hear that?
