Im seriously thinking about buying a 60" TT to accompany my 48"TTHP but i need some feedback from people who own the 60" TT. How well does it do in tall wet grass? my 48 does great but i want to make sure that the 60" will be able to do all the same. How well is the striping? Steve

Rock,

The 60" will out perform the 48" in all categories and all conditions. If you like the way the 48" handles wet grass you'll love the 60. There's really no comparison. The 60" should also leave a cleaner more manicured cut, mulch better and it will hold a hill better than any other machine I've driven.

Thanks

Terry

I agree with everything Terry said. I purchased mine new this past spring and now have around 350 hrs on it. I have the striping roller on it as well. The cut and controls are the best I have ever used. I have over 1800hrs on my scag wb. The Exmark 60tt is the employees pick also eveyone loves the cut and the smoothness of the machine. Is there anything that could be improved on? Yes, they need a decent sulkey for it. Toro has the TRU TRAC, EXMARK needs it. Terry are you listening. This was repeated over and over at expo by consumers. Lets think about it, Exmark in my opinion has the best walkbehind on the market. Toro has the best sulkey. Why not give the customer the best of both worlds.

I never could get an answer as to 'why' the tru-trac could not be fitted to eXmark....

Guys,

We're looking at a couple of things right now..........you may like them even better than the "TruTrac".

As far as fit up of the TruTrac there's a chance that it may fit the Viking hydro and Metro (They share the same engine deck as some of the Toro products) however the only information we have available is strickly what we can find on their website. I would hold off on buying any sulky's right now. We may have something coming soon.

Thanks

Terry

Roughly what does a 60" TT go for?

Excellent machine, I have a 2004 TT 60 inch, Kawasaki engine. Only downfall is it is sometimes a little big for smaller spots or residentials.

Try a pro one sulky, works great.

Cool.....

I've had a custom sulky idea in mind for a while. But I haven't had time to get to work in the shop to see if it's feasable. Maybe this winter, if I can ever end my season here...

Lawnchoice,

The Turf Tracer 20 hp 52" has a MSRP of $6399. You can figure another $200 for the 60" deck and another $300 for the 23 hp Kawasaki or Kohler.

Thanks

Thanks Terry for the reply. I hope Emark gets this sulky to the market by March, any later were already into the season.

i bought a 60 tt with a 23 kaw in april. its the best machine i have ever used. i got mine for $6050 with a 2 wheel velky. the cut is excellent and it works great with the mulch kit too. i would highly reccomend this machine to everyone.

Terry, is there ever going to be a chance of a 27 or 28 kohler on the 60" turf tracer? Could you pass that request along to product developement?

Mac,

To be honest we've never really pursued this on the full size TT with any vigor. Each horsepower generally adds another $100-$150 to the price of the mower. The EFI is the exception. It would possibly add another $1,000 just for the EFI would probably add $1500 or so to the MSRP.

Thanks

Terry, I can hardly imagine why someone wouldnt pay $400 for a 27 koh on a 60". Does exmark already use a CV27 in your line up? if so its just a matter of bolting it up. :) I cant wait.

Now there will be a few that disagree, but the 23 kaw handles the 60" deck quite well. We had a lot of spring growth this year the 60TT handled it great, as well as our 27LC lazer. The efficiency of the deck is awesome. A 27hp TT would be great but don't overlook the 23hp TT its powerful and doesn't guzzle gas only sipps.
