Awesome machine gets the job done quickly

As someone who has owned the Toro Proline 36 inch commercial walk behind mower for the last 18 years, I can say that the TimeMaster is the perfect compromise between a commercial mower and your standard 22 inch deck, self-propelled mower. It is light and way more manageable than a commercial mower yet the deck size is still very nice. It was worth losing six inches off of the deck size for these reasons. I only gave it four stars instead of five for two reasons…. 1) the front wheels are not on casters. Commercial mowers all have casters, and this allows you to turn more quickly while maintaining higher speeds. 2) The Personal pace system takes some getting used to. The front wheels pop up if you accelerate too quickly. Also, I find it uncomfortable on my hands and wrists but that is a personal feeling. Basically, this thing would be the perfect mower if the front wheels were on casters.
