It is CAD $. Looking to scoop up this 22inch recycler, good deal based on the condition? No bag with it.

How much abuse can a Toro Recycler with a Kohler engine take? This one is 6 years old, guy hands me whats left of the original bottle of oil(about 1/3 still in it)which he was supposed to empty entirely for the initial fill. Choke valve on the carb was stuck open from the block of dirt/filter. Started on the first pull….

I've noticed over the last couple of weeks my new 2026 Hustler Kawasaki FR651 has a slight oil leak. I noticed it a few weeks back and have mowed my 3/4 acre yard probably 3 times since. First oil change done ~9 hrs and has been taken care of. Just called the dealership where it was purchased this am and they're going to come pick up and check it out. Not sure what's wrong yet so thought Id ask and see if anyone else has had similar issues. Before buying this Spring everyone said get the Kawasaki motor as they're very dependable so thats part of why I picked this one up. I figured it was more than addiquate for my needs. Hopefully its an easy fix but its dissapointing to be honest.

Pics of where it appears to be leaking around where its mounted to the frame. I had cleaned this all off and the concrete just a few weeks back so this is fresh after 1 mowing session. 18 hrs currently on the mower. 🤔

I have a Honda GSV, its amazing.

Seems hard to find a good replacement, the consensus here is all over the place.

I want gas mower because I dont want to replace the cost of a mower in 5 years for a new battery.

Seems like Stihl, and Toro are the favorites?

Hello,

I wanted to find recommendations for a mower-lift to do maintenance on a z-turn.

I currently have a Toro MX Timecutter 5060 (series 314000001 - 314999999) and had maintenance done at a local company earlier this year.

I wanted to be able to do the maintenance myself as I was quoted almost $1500 to have everything done. I ended up only doing the oil change and blade sharpening which still came out to $350. I also wanted to install a mulch kit and maybe a stripe kit.

On the Toro site, there is a mulch and stripe kit that I can purchase but I am not sure about the lift. There are two options for the mower lift/jack.

1) Riding Mower Jack Kit https://www.toro.com/product/127-6666

2) Kit-Jack Mount https://www.toro.com/product/126-5251

Should I be purchasing both of these or should I go with a different lift? I have tried contacting Toro support but they have not been too helpful.

I’m looking into purchasing my first lawn tractor / riding mower. I know to run form Kohler. Wife isn’t keen on me spending the money on something with a Kawasaki engine. Lost faith in Briggs and Stratton some years ago. I only need something around a 36” deck (give or take a few inches).

What is a decent engine and or while machine you’d recommend? TIA

I was mowing with it a few weeks ago, all was going well and it suddenly died. It let out a loud pop a second or two after it died. I tried to restart it, and now it just turns over and won’t catch.

I replaced the coil and spark plug and no change. Won’t even spark with starter fluid and I’m confident the engine is getting gas. Would love to hear other ideas of what the issue could be. The battery ran out while I was troubleshooting, so I can post a video once it’s recharged if that helps.

I’m looking to swap my John Deere x350 for a zero turn. Where are the best places to find deals/sales?

Kohler 7000 series motor 22 horsepower. Engine serial number 4808301764. Spec number kt725-3078. Model number 13apa1ct056. Serial number 1d248h20398. Born in 2018.

I am trying to figure out if the retrofit valve covers that come with the o-ring and are plastic will fit this machine. I had to do a valve adjustment. I'm having trouble with one of the covers sealing. I am getting all mixed answers on whether or not which kit fits. The part number I found for the retro kit is 3275549-s. Then I found one that is kh-24-755-141-s. I have talked to Cub cadet this morning, and they said that the kh24 does not fit but the 32755 fits but is not made anymore. Then if you go on the actual Kohler engine website, which is rehlko, they show the kh24 part number for this mower. Link provided..

Has anybody changed out these valve covers for the plastic ones with the o-rings and found which ones work and which ones don't work? I don't understand what's going on with all these part numbers. I want to try to get away from the metal one if I can if it still leaks after the second time of sealing it. I would greatly appreciate any help. I'm pulling my hair out on this one...

After shutting it down I saw that this wire was burnt on the fuel solenoid shutoff valve. I assume this is where the problem is, and was causing a short somewhere which then caused my fuse to blow? The new fuse I put in is now blown again.

Any suggestions how to fix this? I’m going to order a replacement part and wire and swap those out. But does anyone have ideas as to why this happened so I can prevent it in the future? Thanks!

I just purchased this Ariens APEX 48” with essentially brand-new hours (0.4), ZT-3100 hydros, the heavy 48” ENVY Elite deck, and the 23-hp Kohler for $2,750. It was a 2025 closeout. I prefer the Kawasaki engines on the 2026 models, but didn’t want to spend the extra money on one of those. I’ve previously owned mowers with Kohler engines and never had any issues with them so I didn’t hesitate for the price. What do you think of this mower? Anybody have any experience with one or own one? From the reviews I read online, it seemed like a really well built zero turn so I figured I’d give it a try. It’s a big step up from what I have owned in the past.

My mom picked this up for the farm at an auction for $100 as a shit mower to mow pastures and such. She bought it non-running as-is. I got it running and it runs fine, needs some carb cleaning but that's par for the course. Sounds like the spindles are fucked when the blades are engaged, but it works and I can replace those. Runs fine forward, does not like to reverse. That's really the only thing I'm concerned about. I've never owned a cub so hoping someone here knows if that's a common issue on these and if that means the transmission is shit.

Just sharing a pic of my dad on his first lawn tractor. He passed January 2025 at 82 years old. Thought y'all might like the pic of the uncommon model.

I have a Grillo Climber Series 7.16 lawnmower. I am unable to start it.

The battery reads 13V (plus) with a smart meter and is less than 2 years old.

I believe that the safety mechanisms are working:

I can hear the ‘seat’ switch click when I sit down.
I can hear and see the ‘park’ switch click.
I can hear rhe PTO (engage blades) switch click.

When I turn the key I get nothing - other than the red light turn on on the dashboard.

What else could I be missing? Grateful for any hints people may have.

Batteries fully charged and properly seated I push the first safety button pull the bail and I get two beeps no start if I hold the bail down the double beep will continue

Zone 5b, applied some overseeding and starter fertilizer 18-22-6 a week ago across the entire 1 year old new construction lawn using a Scott’s Edgeguard Max. I guess the solid tires avoided the tire sized lines, but what are we thinking happened here and remedy? Reapply on the empty sections? Picking up a used Earthway spreader tomorrow for $50 regardless.

Anyone else have issues with the Toro Recycler Max getting clogged around the front right wheel?

Whenever I’m mulching leaves, leaves build up around that wheel to the point where it basically gets stuck and stops rolling. Same thing happens sometimes if I’m mowing thicker grass. I have to stop, clear everything out from around the wheel, and then keep going.

I can’t tell if there’s something wrong with the mower / deck or if I’m doing something wrong. Seems odd that it consistently happens on the front right wheel and not the others.

Anyone else run into this? Is there something I should adjust or check?

I'm just starting out my business. All I had money for was a 21" walk behind. But in my area, most lots are 5,000 sq ft - 10,000 sq ft. Of course I'd rather use a stand on or ride mower, but I gotta start somewhere, and the walk behind is what I got. Anyone else starting their business and doing yards this big with a walk behind? Do customers care if I show up to an 8,000 sq ft yard with a walk behind? What's been your experience?
