Pros: Its a zero turn.
Cons: Not Reliable, Underpowered, Poorly Designed, TORO doesn't back it.
The Bottom Line: Stay far away from this mower. It is not durable, any time that is saved from the zero-turn is ate up by having to repair it.

| mlfa's Full Review: Toro Timecutter Lawn Mower Z380 |
I bought this mower primarily on the TORO brand name. I love the zero turn concept; unfortunately TORO blew the design and underpowered this unit. I have had the following items replaced in the less then 2 years I have owned it: Engine, battery, 2 belts, 4 sets of blades. This unit has been broke more times then I care to remember. I had to purchase a Sears lawn tractor as a backup.
If you have any type of slope to your yard this product will not work. Going down a slope and trying to turn will cause the mower to slide one-two feet before making the turn causing the grass under the tires to get roughed up. Even on flat parts the cutting swath which is supposed to be 42 is more like 25-27 inches, even with brand-new blades.
The mower deck has little or no support. I have 2 acres, moles, pocket gophers, etc, the land is not level and whenever the deck hits an imperfect spot the blades will bend and pop out scraping the underside of the mower deck.
The biggest disappointment has been with the TORO company. I have continually explained the problems and have repeatedly asked for a refund. I thought buying a "name brand" meant that if I wasn't satisfied, the company would make it right, but apparently not so with the TORO company.
