2014 Toro T-Bar Turbo Force 48” for $1,000 ??
CORRECTION: 2024 Year Model, not 2014
Toro 39078 Commercial Walk-Behind Mower, Floating Deck, T-Bar with 48” Turbo Force Deck (Kawasaki)
I live on 10 acres (mostly wooded) and keep 4 flat acres cut. Since we moved out there 11 years ago, we have been mowing 4 acres with push mowers. My wife and two teenage kids all have a mower and we attack it.
I keep looking for a larger, used mower and just stumbled across something I am fairly sure is a good purchase, but I am admittedly very ignorant and should have posted this sooner. The seller wants to meet tomorrow.
He is the main landscaper that services a contract I work at in Texas. After getting to know him, I casually mentioned how much I mow and he immediately said he had this 2024 Toro T-Bar Turbo Force 48” that he used for 1 year before buying a John Deere QuikTrak StandOn mower which is his primary mower now.
He said he bought the Toro new and used it for one year although the video he sent me looks like the mower was used more than that, or lived outside judging by the paint fading from UV exposure. I asked him about that and he said the mower was stored always in his shop. Like many people selling used equipment, he sprayed it down wet and took a video which makes it look in the best condition. I don’t have a reason to distrust him, I just don’t know him enough to have much of an opinion. He is a super nice gentleman.
Included is the best screenshot from the video he sent me.
He started it up on camera and everything seems to be running fine based on the video.
Any opinions you folks have on me moving forward on this purchase would be appreciated.
I should have added that I am always looking for a reason to walk and run, so I actually prefer a walk-behind unit.
