How does the TimeMaster compare with a 21-inch Toro mower?

The 30-inch deck covers about 40% more ground per pass, so a large lawn takes fewer passes. The trade-off is a heavier, wider machine that is harder to maneuver in tight spaces.

What does the Blade Brake Clutch do?

It stops the blade while the engine keeps running, so you can step away to empty the bag or move something without restarting the mower.

Can it mulch, bag and side discharge?

Yes. It supports bagging, mulching and side discharge, and the Dual-Force Cutting System is designed to chop clippings fine for mulching.

How large a lawn is it meant for?

Toro rates it for up to about 1 acre. The wide deck and self-propelled drive make the most difference on large, open lawns.

What cutting heights does it offer?

Height adjusts from 1.25 to 4.25 inches using a two-point adjustment.

Does it start with a key or a pull cord?

It has a pull-cord start on its 223cc Briggs & Stratton OHV engine.
