About Toro

Toro is an American manufacturer of outdoor maintenance equipment with over a century of experience in turf care. Best known for their zero-turn mowers, Toro serves both residential and commercial markets with a lineup ranging from the entry-level TimeCutter series to the heavy-duty Z Master commercial mowers. Their equipment is widely used by golf courses, municipalities, and landscape contractors alongside homeowners seeking professional-grade performance.

Brand History

Toro was founded in 1914 as The Toro Motor Company, initially producing engines for the Bull Tractor Company. By 1921 Toro introduced its first turf maintenance product — a reel-type mower for golf courses. The company grew steadily through the 20th century, expanding into snow blowers, irrigation systems, and consumer lawn equipment. Today Toro is a publicly traded company (NYSE: TTC) and one of the world's leading producers of professional turf and grounds care equipment.

    • -No compact or utility tractors — Toro focuses exclusively on turf/mowing
    • -Electric models (TimeCutter Electric) have higher upfront cost

    Frequently Asked Questions About Toro

    What is the difference between Toro TimeCutter and TITAN?

    The TimeCutter is Toro's entry-to-mid-range residential zero-turn line, suited for properties up to about 5 acres. The TITAN series is a step up with a heavier fabricated deck, stronger frame, and commercial-grade features at a prosumer price point. TITAN is ideal for demanding residential use or light commercial work.

    Are Toro Z Master mowers worth it for homeowners?

    Z Master mowers are built for commercial use — landscape contractors, golf courses, municipalities. They are generally overkill and overpriced for residential homeowners. The TITAN or upper TimeCutter models offer better value for home use.

    Does Toro make gas and electric zero-turn mowers?

    Yes. Toro offers both gas-powered and battery-electric zero-turn mowers. The TimeCutter Electric 42" and 54" models run on lithium-ion battery packs and produce zero direct emissions. Gas models span the full lineup from TimeCutter to Z Master 7500-D diesel.

    What engines do Toro zero-turn mowers use?

    Toro uses engines from several top-tier suppliers depending on the model. Residential TimeCutter models use Toro-branded V-twin or Kawasaki engines. TITAN models use Kawasaki or Kohler engines. Z Master commercial mowers use Kawasaki FX, Kohler EFI, or Toro V-Twin engines, with the Z Master 7500-D powered by a Yanmar diesel.

    Where are Toro mowers made?

    Toro manufactures its products in the United States at facilities in Minnesota, Nebraska, and elsewhere. The company is headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota.
