Hi!!
I just picked up one of these bad boys and I gotta say I should of got one years ago. I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a self propel adjustment for the speed?. The speed is to fast for these wet days and adjusting the speed using the handle is just annoying.

Thanks

Is this different than a turfmaster? I'm a Toro dealer, but literally haven't heard a thing on this yet.

how can you praise a mower that goes too fast for mowing conditions? this desighn should have been true multi speed all along and not a slip belt desighn.

Do you ship? Might be too much.. don't know of your location..

You could be a sponsor here..

What’s different about the HDX?
Besides something about the transmission?

FWIW you could not have gotten one years ago, they didn’t exist

its a ill advised desighn from day one. you cannot expect to have strong and variable self propel from a mower of this size and weight with what is really a one speed trans. its just personal pace disguised as a commercial mower.

Feathering the bail works fine on one speed Toro 21’s. Every 3 speed I’ve bought kicked into 3 at dealer and stays there until mower hits junk heap.

we have had this discussion before and you are using the mower wrong and if you were my employee and I saw you using a toro 3 speed this way-you would be fired. try operating one this way tru thick spongey st Augustine grass and see how far you get. you are burning up belts and wearing down pulleys prematurely this way.

Right. Feathering the bail works fine here on 3 speeds. We do lots ditches etc. Have owned at least 15 3speed Prolines over the years None ever saw 1st or 2nd gear.
