MyRide System

It's on some of the commercial cutter forums. They are testing now.

I have a 21 year old Toro ZMaster 255 and due to its great longevity wish to stick with Toro so I'm going to wait. I have 2 farms and cut Dad's and Uncles grass. Need something softer on back.

Some Toro users are installing ZGlide torsion suspension forks on the front wheels. Even with MyRide. Looking for reviews and comments now to see how well they work. Price is right at $249 for a pair.

Big boy springs are the answer. When my order came, it only contained two springs, crap. Contacted the dealer, no problem, ordered the shorted item. No biggie, between lake and wait time, finally got aeound to installing them. Twenty minute job. Big difference in the ride, no more bottoming out, even on a softer setting. Should be an option when purchasing at minimal cost. Cost me $300 CDN. Happy camper.

I'm glad that worked out for you. Who sells the Big Boy springs?

Ordered from the selling dealer. No guesswork, warranty intact. Could have searched dor some motorcycle coil/shock units but not worth the hassle.

So, these are an actual Toro item?

Toro accessory item. Come complete, shocks with mounted springs.

I've been very happy with my Toro Titan I've got about 57 hours on it, and am putting it away for the winter.

The owners manual recommends disconnecting the battery for storage. I've never bothered with that on my previous machines and not had a problem, however I noticed that the hour meter on the Titan stays illuminated with the ignition switch off, and assumed that this may be enough of a current draw over the winter, to disconnect the battery. I was quite surprised to find that, even with the battery disconnected, the hour meter stays on. I assume it has its own battery, but if so, why?

I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
