The first engine "made" oil. (I am sure the fuel pump diaphragm was letting fuel into the oil) I was told to operate it (by the dealer) until it would no longer "operate".
Engine #2 lost a pressure line between the oil filter and the oil pump (remote oil filter), possibly related to the engine change, but maybe not, the line just burst.
Engine #3 knocked from new, again I was told to operate it until it wouldn't move, I *guess* Toro won't pay warranty for fixes, just component replacement.

The front end has gone out twice, 1 steering box, 1 outer tie rod end.

The parking brake has never worked.

Usage: 1 hour daily, 1/2 on asphalt, 1/2 on smooth gravel road, maybe carrying 500 lbs MAX.

Not my money, if it was mine, it would have gone back. These are not like the Toro of old, it appears Chinese made, for sure "Asian made".
