How does the engine compare to a Gx190? Aren't the s' supposed to be quieter?
Interesting comment. Was not something I was aware of, but will compare to other Honda engined mowers we have and report back :-)
How do they make the wheels look so cheap!
On the subject of Toros, does anyone run the 30" and have any feedback? They are laughably cheap, and I have a client who might be better off buying on and paying me less to mow their 1-acre lawn/paddock every week.
Wheel specs : Commercial-grade steel wheels with ball bearings and long-lasting 8″ x 2″ (20 cm x 5 cm) radial-style, semi-pneumatic rubber tyres : Time will tell
I heard some comment at the Dealer that either the TimeMaster (cheap domestic) 30" or Turfmaster (expensive commercial) 30" has been discontinued in UK - possibly lack of sales (ie does not suit our work type ?). Will dig deeper.
At the price these come in at, we'd write the cost off within one season (expect its Depr cost to be ~60-70p/ Op hour - doesnt inc service/repair or fuel). So if it lasts past a years use, we're quids in.

Used the side discharge yet? WOnder how it copes in long grass?

We got one last year, it's ok but nothing special. Bizarrely it's too fast for a collector mower which is rare indeed as we normally need to speed all our mowers up.
They don't cope with the thick wet stuff too well so are best suited to small multi stop rounds where its light weight comes into its own.
The masterminds at our place spent half an hour on site trying to start it without the grass bag on then drove 10 miles back to the workshop saying its broke.
