Hi Tom,
I recently changed my John Deere fleet for HRXs. So far so good!
They are quick and deadly solid. Really robust mower. A few folk complain that they're a tad weighty but I like it. The engine and gear box perform and all the parts are well built and dont have a cheap or fragile feel.
I honestly believe the HRX will perform a lot better than the Toro! HOWEVER, handles do not fold. Could cause problems for you! When purchasing mine I had to take handles off with socket... We work with mowers in trailer hence no day to day issues.
I have several 'HRX' and the handles fold on all of them. Purchased the most recent 3 weeks ago.
The HRX's fold, perhaps you have the pro model?
I have had mine for probably about 5 years and love it!! I have a transporter and to make it fit in the side door I put the back wheels up to the highest setting and it just about fits without folding the handle down.
Sorry for confusion.. Should have been sleeping!
haha! thought that! HRH seems to be the go-to mower for commercial, but with a few less features than the HRX,
Thanks for the info guys, I think I will go for it, The dealer will do me 20% off which takes its down from eye watering 1200 odd to 1060. the toro was short so fitted in my Scudo without folding. I think the slight inconvenience of folding the HRX will be made up with it's pace and other features.
Loved my HRX - the most versatile, quality mower I had - make sure you keep moving the sliding chute cover back and forth regularly as it gets stuck easily with dead grass....
