Toro zero-turn mowers, particularly in the TimeCutter and Titan series, use 10-gauge fabricated steel decks. These decks are built with IronForged® technology, featuring a bullnose reinforced leading edge for extra durability against impacts with obstacles. The thicker, 10-gauge steel provides greater longevity and resistance to wear compared to thinner, stamped steel decks. For more rugged commercial use, Toro’s Z Master models utilize even thicker 7-gauge steel, offering superior strength for continuous heavy-duty mowing.
Deck thickness is crucial because it enhances the mower’s ability to handle tough mowing conditions, reducing the risk of bending or damage when hitting rocks or other debris. This makes fabricated decks preferable for both commercial landscapers and property owners with large, uneven lawns
