Timecutter Z5035

[robersml]

Does anyone know how reliable the Timecutter series is by Toro?

I bought a Bad Boy 48'' but am seriously thinking about getting a Timecutter Z5035 for $500 less, at $3000. It's got the 24HP Kawasaki engine so this makes me think it might hold up for a while

I'm not going to use it commercially, per se, but I'd be mowing 4-5 acres / week

Anyone ever tried this much on a Timecutter, or have any opinion on whether or not this machine could hold up to that much work?

I just purchased the time cutter in 42'' . I'am to pick it up. I hope it's a good mower

That much golf course, no problem. But then there's the You-tube video of the guy crashing his TimeCutter through undergrowth and bragging how he uses it like a Bush Hog. His 4-5 acres a week is going to kill it quickly. So, it depends. Lack of maintenance is what kills most mowers.
