Shoulda got a Zspray

 

Don't start....

Op is that a dual nozzle boomless setup?

 

Sweet! How many sqft do the tanks cover? What is the swath width?
Is there a trim nozzle? Boom?
Is the impeller electric, hydraulic, gear-driven?

I have not had time to play with the spray part just yet but according to the dealer it's supposed to spray up to 10ft I think. That's with the two outside nozzles and the it's got a center nozzle that covers a narrower path. All i know right now is its 20 gallon and the pressure is adjustable and nozzles can be changed so I'm sure square footage can vary. And the impeller is electric which kinda concerned me but that dealer said they really hadn't had any issues yet. It has a dial to slow and speed up the impeller which I really like.

 

Congratulations! You will love it.

 

Thanks

 

At least your walking boots will last longer

Good go ! Now you need to build or buy a carrier or trailer for it. A nurse tank and more accounts.

 

Well my plan for this thing is it's small enough to fit on my trailer with the mowers too. What I mean by that is before I was either spraying with my small tractor or a backpack and with the tractor it simply took up the whole trailer even tho it's small so in turn I had to go out on separate days to do treatment and same issue with spreading I used the tractor or push spreader. This thing will fit at the front of my trailer sideways with two mowers still behind it. So now if I have a lawn to treat I can do it while we're out instead of making another trip out. And it's small enough for the small lawns yet efficient enough for the big ones

 

However if we start to pick up more and more fert and treatment accounts then that sounds like a great idea. And who knows I might but at the moment I think it’s going to pay for itself just because I can say yes to those treatment jobs that I once was turning down because of lack of time and right equipment

Always plan ahead

 

That's just like my ExMark. Very user friendly

 

How many hours you got on the examark so far?

 

Just starting on the Toro. Do you run at full throttle? Seems pretty fast. Thinking half throttle?

 

When spreading I've been running full throttle I haven't done any spraying with mine yet tho

 

Sounds like you got a winner good luck

 

Love my toro

 

I love mine so far too. However it’s the only one I’ve ever used other than an old lesco hps

Well take it from me. It's much much better than a PG and a turfco. You made a very wise choice

 

A better way to change the oil would be nice

 

Yea that's true too.

 

Also can’t find the serial number for the engine. Second day out and I lost my gas cap Rofl.

 

Shoot that sucks mine has a little chain holding the gas cap when it’s off

 

Ugh not on mine ugh. Can’t find the serial number on the engine. Not where the Subaru manual says ugh.

I will say that this acquisition does complete zspray line. By adding the toro stand on spreader sprayer it now finally has a machine that is rackable. Please if you haven’t used the toro stand on don’t bash it. I own one now and it is the best rackable out there. I have used them all and the 2018 toro spreader sprayer is awesome. True in tank agitation. Now my round one is so so so inexpensive now that I can use wetable materials with true in tank agitation. So if they keep the rest of the Z line this will truly complete the line. Lots of us want a rackable machine. It’s not as maneuverable as a zero turn but wow it’s very maneuverable. Better than the T. Also no belts! And it runs circles around the PG and GL. So this could be a great thing if Zspray is going to continue the rest of the line. I truly suggest we let toro know that we want the line untouched. Toro/exmark listens to there customers so email them and call them and let your voice be heard.

Z spray has a rackable unit. The Jr 36r and still make them customers upon request. I bought mine in 2012 and I only had one real complaint. The engine was under powered. They were using 9.5 hp kholer motor and I have finally replaced it with a 13 hp Honda and it is night and day on my production. It has also allowed me to add the hopper extension for 200 lb capacity.

 

I called them and they told me they discontinued that model and would not be making it again that was last year. So your telling me something completely different than what they told me.

 

Has anyone tested the Toro on hills? After looking into the machine it looks like it could be a damn fine machine. The only worry I have is, again, the motor size. Have a lot of hills in my area and it's got the same sized motor that my jr 36r had. Just really struggled to pull hills, even when going side to side.

 

I own the toro spreader sprayer and it works great on hills going up no problems holds hills awesome. Better than permagreen and t3100. I owned both.

 

I know this thread is a few months old, but does anyone know if you can add a separate weed spraying tank to the Toro stand on. I love my Toro. I just wish it had 2 tanks.

 

That would be a pretty nice addition

 

Easy there have been a few folks who have. Maybe a few that have will pipe up.

 

A bit top heavy, but works.

Looking at this photo would be nice if there could be a drop in tank for it

 

Should of just got a zsprayer

 

He wants a rackable machine. Zspray doesn't offer that. The toro is an excellent machine

 

Sure do! Any zprayer can fit on versahaul rack and braced on edges

 

Is that the rack with the wheels?

 

No a custom.

 

Hello,

This has been a brief but interesting thread. I realize it is a little old but I wanted to see how everyone's unit worked this season.

We are considering the Toro/Exmark unit now that is has been increased to the 14hp Kohler. We are in an area with very little to no hills at all.

How is everyone's unit holding up? Would you buy the unit again?

Thanks in advance!

Troy

I'm 100% satisfied with mine. The only complaint is lack of power which sounds like they've fixed and I did have my tie rods work loose one time this season. Other than that I think it's a great machine. I live the fact that it's more compact that other units.
