Leave the neighbors in your wake.

Nothing gets you from lawn to lake faster than the Toro ® TimeCutter ® ZX. Hefty twin- or single-cylinder engines provide the muscle, enabling you to clip along at speeds up to 7.0 mph. Credit also goes to extra-wide decks up to 52” and a high-capacity gas tank that lets you cut more and stop less. Not only is it fast, it’s built Toro tough. The TimeCutter ZX features a 10-gauge welded frame versus lightweight stamped steel. No wonder we can offer a three-year warranty.** 4

SPECIAL FEATURE COMMERCIAL GRADE CONSTRUCTION A massive chunk off the professional Z block. TimeCutter ZX’s smooth, quiet, low-maintenance operation comes courtesy of dual heavy-duty hydrostatic transmissions with integrated charge pumps– one for each control lever. They work hard so you can play harder. And 1” x 2” steel tubing reinforces the front frame while 7- and 10-gauge steel fortifies the rear, making it a masterpiece of steel construction.

RUBBER DISCHARGE CHUTE Toro’s exclusive high-performance rubber discharge chute allows for close trimming without damage to the chute or landscape structures. The patent-pending design provides exceptional clipping dispersion. BIGGER, SMARTER DECKS More cutting, less cleaning and repairing. TimeCutter ZX features not two but three blades for precision cutting you just don’t expect from a riding mower. In the lessis-more category, we engineered our decks to require as little hardware – and maintenance – as possible. 5

Discover moves you never knew you had.

The Toro® TimeCutter® Z zero turning radius mower is nimble enough to zoom through any large mowing challenge. Spin around saplings. Take tight corners like you’re on rails. Hit reverse without ever hitting a switch. Then open it up on straightaways. Even the ergonomically-enhanced cup holder is designed to make it feel less like a mower and more like an extension of yourself. Quick. Simple. And surprisingly comfortable. That’s the TimeCutter Z – the fastest way to cut to the quick. 6
