t-bar toro wb

[slagerlawncare]

hey guys and gals,<br>i tried out a toro WB today, what do ya think of the toro t-bar . what are the positives and negatives?<br>i have never had Wb before so this is all new to me.<p>thanks and is it spr$ng yet?

[Grassboy]

What exactly is the T-bar? I've heard about it, but I haven't ever demoed a Toro yet.

grasboy,<br>it has a handle like a 21&quot; push that is used for controlling unit....

We first bought Toro's in 1985 - the year they came out. We were already using their GroundsMasters and it was a good fit.<p>We loved the T-Bar.<p>The T-bar became less attractive with the velke because you have your hands on the moving bar and not somthing solid.<p>The T-Bar became even less atractive with the Hydro because they were touchy and jumpy. They've corrected that a bit, but still...<p>When the T-Bar 1st came out it was light years better than anything else in the mid-80's. Now it's still nice, but I could go either way.

i guess what i'm wondering is ..are they easier to stay on a straight line than regular wb?..seeing that i'm not used to 1 or the other..<br>i will not have a velke..don't want one right now..need to burn up some energy i've stored all winter;)

i think its harder to stay in a strait line than the regular brake type handle and i also found that the front end pops up pretty easy. they have a really good cut though<p>----------<br>CJC Landscape Management<br>Winter Haven, Florida

If you have any lawns with hills, forget the toro. Pistol-grip is the way to go for hills and strait lines. <p>----------<br>spreble<br>

I prefer pistol grips. They track straight, unlike a T-Bar which you must keep tracking straight. <p>As a matter of fact, I have a 36&quot; hydro with T-Bar for sale. Some people wouldn't ever use a pistol grip. Find what suits you best.<p>John<br>

I have 3,used to have 5 tbars.Sold 2 for a lazer. The great thing about them is they are easy to use.i learned on tbars and nearly killed myself several time on a velkie behind a hydro i was demoing before i bought the ztr. There are some fairly simple adjustments to keep these tracking straight, they are vitually indestructable and they leave lawns looking better than my 8k+ ztr. Hey scottlawns I'm in st.paul...can you believe its 61 in feb.!!!!!

I'm for pistol grips also.<br>Tried the T-bar setup on a Cub Cadet WB,& fought with it the whole time. Hydros may have been out of adj. but you twisted the bar & had to wait for the mower to catch up. Was ALOT slower for me than the pistol grips on my Honda WB. Dittos on the pathetic ability to do hills. My route's got lots of them. Also I can't stand the design of using your knee to change gears on the shift lever. Whoever thought that up ought to have his head examined. Look at the Honda WB before you make final decision.<br>Try em both & buy what suits you best.<p>----------<br>Smitty ô¿ô<p>
