Bought the MX4250 with a mulching kit in 2017 after Toro was recommended by my father in law who had a Z diesel. Terrible choice as mine has been back to shop for a replacement electric brake, new carburetor, and both hydros replaced under warranty last month. Now losing drive on one hydro when hot (just replaced last month) and have been told it will have to be replaced again, thankfully still under warranty but seriously? Because of this issue now takes me 4 hours of what I could mow in a hour with a new hydro that has less than 15 hours since being replaced. Over $7500 to purchase with mulching kit I am not impressed.

Great ride on mower, we have about 20+ trees and it's so easy to manouver around them. We are also on a bit of a slope and you do have to be careful turning on slopes but never had a problem there either. We have had it two years, would recommend.

I love this mower. It is so fast and does a great job, but it is not free of cons.
Being a Zero Turn, it is no good on slopes. Gentle slopes are fine, but anything above a 4 to 1 slope, you will end up facing the wrong way. Especially if the ground is a little greasy.
If you are too harsh on the turns, you will rip holes in your yard. I mow around fence posts and I have dug a 10cm hole in the yard because I hit the same spot each time.
But I don't regret buying this mower at all. It is so much faster than a tractor style mower and makes easy work of mowing around obstacles.

If you have want to shred time not only grass you can’t go wrong. Deliberated for ages between lawn tractor and zero turn then what brand. I am happy with decision....... zero turn and Toro......once I got my head around driving it that is. Won’t go back to a lawn tractor again and love the new machine! Halved my mowing time on my three acre block.
