Know before you buy
This kit is engineered specifically for Toro TimeCutter riding mowers. Because compatibility can vary by deck size and model year, we recommend checking your mower's manual or the Toro fitment guide using your specific model number to ensure a seamless installation.

The kit is designed to maintain a low profile, but it does extend slightly from the side of the mower. If your storage space or gate clearance is extremely tight, measure the width of your mower with the kit installed to ensure it still fits comfortably.
No, the Handle and Step Assist Kit is designed to integrate with the mower's frame without obstructing the deck or the discharge chute. It is positioned specifically to improve ergonomics for the operator while keeping the mower's functional components clear.
Yes, the step is designed with a textured surface to provide reliable traction. This helps ensure a secure footing when mounting or dismounting the mower, even when grass or morning dew is present.
