TORO ZS 4200T TimeCutter® Petrol Zero Turn Riding Mower

Make Light Work of Large Lawns with the Toro ZS 4200T TimeCutter®

If mowing a big garden has become a time-consuming challenge, the Toro ZS 4200T TimeCutter® Petrol Zero Turn Riding Mower offers a practical and powerful solution. Designed for domestic use across lawns of up to 7,000 m² (1.7 acres), this capable machine combines commercial-grade performance with the kind of user comfort and control that makes mowing far more manageable. Thanks to its responsive handling, efficient cutting system, and impressive speed, this zero turn is perfectly suited to homeowners looking to upgrade their lawncare routine.

Built for Big Mowing Jobs

At the core of the Toro ZS 4200T sits a powerful 724 cc V-Twin Briggs & Stratton petrol engine, delivering 19.4kW (26hp) of power. With electronic ignition and dual hydrostatic HG-ZT2100 transmission, this premium engine provides the reliability and muscle required to tackle large areas of thick or fast-growing grass.

Rear-wheel drive helps maintain traction when working across slopes or uneven areas, and the steering levers give you total command of the mower’s direction and speed. With a top forward pace of 7mph and an 11.4-litre fuel tank, you can cover significant ground in a single session without frequent refuelling.

Fast Coverage, Clean Finish

If you’re looking to save time without compromising results, the large 107 cm (42-inch) cutting deck will certainly appeal. Made from stamped 10-gauge steel, it’s robust, durable, and lightweight enough to ensure excellent manoeuvrability. Inside, two high-quality blades provide a crisp, even cut across every pass, helping you maintain a tidy appearance even on more challenging lawns.

Thanks to its zero-turn steering, the ZS 4200T can pivot effortlessly to navigate around flower beds, shrubs, trees or garden furniture. Tight turns, which would normally require reversing or multiple adjustments, can be completed in one fluid movement. The result is up to 50% less mowing time compared with a conventional lawn tractor—an upgrade you’ll feel on the very first run.

Mulch or Discharge with the Recycler® Deck

This mower is fitted with Toro’s proven Recycler® cutting system, which allows you to mulch finely and return nutrients to the soil while you mow. As the blades chop the clippings down into fine particles, they’re deposited evenly back into the turf where they act as a natural fertiliser. This process supports healthy lawn growth and means less time spent dealing with grass cuttings.

If conditions or preferences call for it, side discharge mode is available too. You can also adjust the cutting height to suit your lawn’s needs, with a range from 3.8 cm to 11.4 cm. Anti-scalping wheels protect your grass from damage on bumpy ground or when turning, helping ensure your lawn looks consistently neat from edge to edge.

Comfort That Keeps You Going

The ZS 4200T is also built with the operator’s comfort in mind, allowing you to work longer without discomfort. A 40.6 cm low-back seat gives plenty of support and encourages a relaxed posture during longer sessions. For added convenience, the integral cup holder ensures refreshments are always within easy reach.

Optional extras such as armrests, a lighting kit and foot-operated deck lift are available to further enhance this riding mower’s comfort and usability.

Adaptable Speed Control with Smart Speed®

The Toro ZS 4200T TimeCutter’s Smart Speed® control system allows you to adjust ground speed to suit your work. Choose Trim mode for detailed edging, Tow mode when using attachments, or Mow mode for full-speed mowing across large open areas. This system helps you manage the mower’s output without affecting cutting quality.

Whether you’re working precisely around borders or speeding through the centre of your lawn, Smart Speed® gives you the flexibility to stay in control at all times.

Maintenance Made Easy

Keeping the ZS 4200T in peak condition is straightforward. A dedicated washout port on the cutting deck allows you to connect a garden hose and flush out any built-up debris or grass. Regular cleaning in this way extends blade life and ensures consistent airflow under the deck, improving cutting performance over time.

Go Beyond Mowing

Thanks to the standard rear hitch bracket, this zero-turn mower can take on a range of garden jobs. It’s compatible with a variety of tow-behind accessories, including trailers, sweepers, and fertiliser spreaders (all sold separately). Other optional accessories such as an hour meter and roll-over protection system (ROPS) allow you to customise the machine to suit your needs.

Whether you’re tidying, transporting, or spreading, this ride-on mower helps you do more with fewer tools.
