Toro Time Cutter SS5000 50″ Deck 23HP Kawasaki 74631 Zero Turn Lawn Mower 2014
50″ (127 cm) Mowing Deck-Toro’s four inch deep, top discharge deck design provides superior cutting performance in all conditions. Anti-scalp wheels allow the deck to float over the turf and reduce scalping. Create your own natural fertilizer by adding a Recycling Kit or make yard clean-up a snap with an optional Twin Bagging system.
Smart Speed Control System-Exlusive Smart Speed control system takes the mower’s time-saving speed and agility and adds greater control. This feature lets you choose different ground speed ranges with the flip of a lever without changing the blade or engine speeds. Mow large open areas in high speed range to finish quickly. Use the low speed range for controlled maneuvering around trees, gardens and landscaping.
Dual Hydrostatic Drive System-Independent hydrostatic drive systems provide responsive manueverability and zero turning capabilities. These independent drives are anchored to Toro‘s unibody frame and strengthened with a 3/4″ (1.9 cm) diameter cross-bar for lasting durability and performance.
Heavy Duty Unibody Steel Frame-The unibody steel frame provides the optimal balance in rigidity and flexibilty for quick, highly manueverable mowing conditions.
Precision Steering System-Control lever dampeners provide smooth drive engagement to prevent jerky operation and sudden starts and stops. Thick, padded control levels allow you to keep in control and ride in comfort.
3-Gallon (11.4 Litre) Fuel Capacity-The TimeCutter SS and TimeCutter MX feature a large 3-gallon (11.4 Litre) fuel tank for more mowing with fewer fill-ups. Knowing when to fill up is simple thanks to the translucent tank, which also helps to prevent overfilling.
7 MPH (11.3 kph) Forward Ground Speed-Get the job done fast. With a top speed of 7 mph (11.3 kph), the TimeCutter is all about productivity. Whether you want to cut your mowing time or enjoy the ride, the TimeCutter has the speed you need.
Non-Slip, Easy-to-Clean Floor Pan-The pierced floor pan is perfect for homeowners who like their mower to look as nice as their lawn. Simply hose down the floor pan after each use and keep your TimeCutter looking as good as new. The non-slip pierced extrusions also provide an additional measure of safety.
Washout Ports-Deck washout ports (1 on the 42″ (106.7 cm) and 2 on the 50″ (127 cm) decks) provide quick cleaning underneath the deck, maintaining optimum airflow for optimum cutting performance. 50″ (127 cm) deck is pictured.
Extra Tall Seat-When you’re mowing for an extended period, there’s no substitute for a good seat. The 18″ (45.7 cm) extra tall high back seat offers maximum support during longer mowing sessions.
Engine Guard-This guard protects the engine on the sides and rear from objects that might damage your engine.

Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE Zero Turn Mower: At a Glance
Pros
How Powerful Is the Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE Zero Turn Mower?
The commercial-grade 708-cc, 24.5-horsepower Toro V-Twin engine with cast-iron cylinder liners and full-pressure lubrication delivers outstanding performance. The top mowing speed is listed at 7 miles per hour, which would be about right based on my experience of mowing an acre in 20 minutes. Even at that fast pace on bumpy terrain, it tracked well and left a nice clean finished cut.
In another portion of my yard, where Bermuda grass grows especially thick, I tested the TimeCutter’s ability to low-cut the semi-dormant grass ahead of spring. This is the normal procedure for warm-season grasses at the end of winter, but it puts extra strain on the mower since airflow to the deck is constricted by the surrounding grass. Commercial mowers are equipped with adequate power to low-cut the grass at a nearly normal mowing pace, while residential mowers must work at a snail’s pace. The TimeCutter resembled a commercial mower while low-cutting, without slowing or bogging down in the least.
The Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE Zero Turn Mower is well constructed to handle hard work while reducing operator strain and fatigue. The mower frame and deck are fabricated from thick, 10-gauge steel, and the leading edge of the deck is reinforced with an extra layer of steel for extended wear protection. The rear drop-pin towing hitch has a towing capacity of up to 442 pounds, for fertilizing, aerating, and other heavy-duty lawn-care projects.
Power and performance features include:
- 708-cc, 24.5-horsepower Toro commercial V-Twin engine
- Cast-iron cylinder liners and full-pressure lubrication
- Mowing speed up to 7 mph
- 10-gauge steel frame
- 50-inch fabricated 10-gauge steel deck with reinforced leading edge
- Mowing height range of 1.5 to 4.5 inches
- 3-gallon fuel capacity
- Towing hitch
- Easy maintenance features: toolless oil change and belt cover
It is important to note that, for all its capabilities, there are a few areas where this mower does not excel. Most importantly, it is not designed for use on hilly terrain. The manufacturer recommends avoiding slopes greater than 15 degrees, or about 5.5 feet of elevation change per 20 linear feet. Also, the size of the machine is scaled for larger properties with 2 to 4 acres of grass. Small and midsize properties increase the instances of bottlenecks such as narrow walk-through gates or pathways between landscape beds where the 50-inch TimeCutter simply will not fit.
Is the Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE Zero Turn Mower Worth the Money?
The Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE Zero Turn Mower is loaded with feature upgrades that make it highly competitive among top-tier residential zero-turn mowers. Pro-quality construction and performance combined with perhaps the most comfortable ride in the industry make a convincing argument for the MSRP of 4,599. Still, The Home Depot sells it for 200 below MSRP at 4,399.
Major brand competitors include John Deere and Cub Cadet, both with closely comparable models. Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 with a 50-inch deck offers less horsepower (23), thinner steel (11-gauge) in the deck, and is priced 100 lower than the Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE MSRP at 4,499. John Deere Z515E with a 54-inch deck that is stamped, not fabricated, comes with a 24-horsepower engine and a simple 2-spring suspension system, also for 4,499. So, the 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE appears to be priced just about right and could even be considered a bargain.
Is the Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE Zero Turn Mower Right for You?
To get the best bang for your buck, an ideal yard for the Toro 50″ TimeCutter MyRIDE Zero Turn Mower would be between 1.75 and 4.25 acres, with lots of grass and no steep hills. Regardless of whether you strive for a pristine, golf-course-like lawn or more of a wild-prairie-type appearance, this mower can help. In fact, bumpy, rough ground with occasional mow-around obstacles is where it excels.
With a maximum mowing speed of up to 7 miles per hour, this TimeCutter can tackle a wide-open 3 acres in about an hour, or slightly longer where there are trees and landscape beds to navigate. And you may even be able to skip the next chiropractor appointment. But if your yard is on a mountainside, in a forest, or requires navigating narrow (less than 60 inches) passageways, this big zero-turn mower may not be the best choice.
