Toro 30-Inch TimeMaster: Mower, Blades and Upgrades

Best for
Standard replacement blades with broad model fit

The UDC Parts 116-6358-03 Mower Blades Replacement is a third-party blade set that replaces Toro OEM parts 116-6358-03, 120-9500-03, 120-9500, 120-9500-S, 116-6358, 116-6358-S and 20120P. The listing gives unusually complete dimensions: 15-3/8 inches long measured diagonally, 2-3/4 inches wide, a 5/8 inch circular center hole, 5/16 inch side holes, 25/32 inch air lift and a 3-15/16 inch cutting edge.

Compatibility is broad. It lists TimeMaster 30 models including 20199, 20200, 21199, 21200, 21810 and 21816, TurfMaster 30 models such as 22200, 22210 and 22232, and several 30-inch Exmark models. The blades come pre-sharpened under safety paint that wears off in use, can be resharpened, and are made from high-strength steel.

One discrepancy: this listing gives a 2-3/4 inch width and 25/32 inch lift, while the Grasscool and Hipa listings for the same OEM number give 2-1/4 inches and 13/16 inch. Measure your current blade before ordering. The listing also does not say how many blades are in the package, though the 2.7 pound weight suggests more than one. This suits owners who want a standard blade with the widest listed model coverage.

The Grasscool Timemaster 30” Mower Mulching Blades are third-party toothed mulching blades from Grasscool, replacing Toro 20120P, 120-9500-03 and 116-6358-03. They are listed for Toro TimeMaster and TurfMaster 20199, 20200, 21199 and 21200 mowers in the serial range 314000001 and up.

Specifications are 15-3/8 inches long, 2-1/4 inches wide, 5/32 inch thick, a 5/8 inch circle center hole and 13/16 inch lift. The listing stresses that the blade only fits a circular 5/8 inch spindle, so check your center hole pattern. The toothed design is pitched for overgrown weeds and rough terrain, and Grasscool says it runs hardness, bend, chip, balance, performance and field tests. The edges are painted against rust and the paint wears off during mowing.

The pack size is only stated in the description, which says pack of 2, and the description also oddly labels 116-6358-03 as an Exmark number. This set suits owners who mulch heavily or tackle overgrown areas.

• Toothed mulching blade
• 15-3/8 in. long, 5/32 in. thick
• 5/8 in. circle center hole only
• Serial range 314000001 and up

Best for
Mulch, bag and side discharge in one

The Hipa 2-Pack 116-6358-03 Blade for Toro TimeMaster 30 is another third-party toothed mulching blade set, from Hipa. It clearly states two blades in the package and shares the Grasscool dimensions: 15-3/8 inches long, 2-1/4 inches wide, 5/32 inch thick, a 5/8 inch circular center hole and 13/16 inch lift.

What Hipa emphasizes is versatility. It describes a toothed 3-in-1 blade for mulching, bagging and side discharge, with a curved toothed design for better mulching and a high lift it claims increases bagging capacity by 50%. The steel is described as alloy steel with chromium and molybdenum. Compatibility covers TimeMaster 20199, 20200, 21199 and 21200 in the serial range 314000001 and up.

This is the pick for owners who switch between bagging and mulching through the season. If you rarely bag, the Grasscool set offers the same core dimensions.

The Toro 60V MAX* 30 in. eTimeMaster Personal Pace Lawn Mower, model 21491T, is the only Toro-made product here and the answer for anyone shopping for a new 30-inch mower. It cuts a 30-inch path with a durable steel deck and cast aluminum frame, and Toro claims it can save up to 40% of your mowing time compared with narrower mowers.

Personal Pace Auto-Drive detects your walking speed and adjusts the self-propel to match. Dual Force Cutting Technology uses Toro’s timed two-blade system to cut grass into a fine mulch. Push-button start, dual LED headlights and a Quick Stow handle with two storage positions round out the features. It is part of Toro’s Flex-Force 60V Max system, with more than 75 compatible tools.

The key detail: this is a tool-only listing, and the battery and charger are not included. Toro recommends 60V Max 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, 6.0Ah or 7.5Ah batteries, so budget for one. It measures 41.75 by 33 by 24.5 inches. If you are weighing it against a high-voltage battery mower with a narrower deck, the 30-inch width is the main advantage on big lawns.

• 30 in. steel deck and cast aluminum frame
• Personal Pace Auto-Drive self-propel
• Dual Force twin-blade cutting
• Battery and charger sold separately

The 30″ Lawn Striping Kit Compatible with Toro 30in Walk Behind Mowers is a third-party kit made by putibodhi. A roller behind the mower bends grass blades in alternating directions, creating the light and dark stripes you see on sports fields. The listing says you can create straight lines, checkerboards, diamonds and waves.

It installs without tools in about 10 to 15 minutes, and the roller tube detaches in seconds for storage without removing the whole bracket. An all-metal alloy steel frame with a spring-assisted design helps it track straight and turn smoothly. You fill the roller with 16 to 20 pounds of dry sand, which is not included.

The listing asks you to measure your mower before buying and says it does not fit mowers under 30 inches. It does not list specific Toro model numbers, so confirm fit with the seller. For a finished look after mowing, a lawn sweeper can pick up clippings and leaves the mower leaves behind.

The 121-5765 V-Belt Replace Toro Timemaster Turfmaster 30 inch mowers is a third-party belt from Ynxgzcan that replaces Toro and Exmark part 121-5765. It is described as a wrapped-molded 4L belt with aramid wire construction and a double cover, 1/2 inch wide.

Listed fits include Toro TimeMaster and TurfMaster 20199, 20200, 21199, 21200, 22210, 22215 and 22225, and Exmark ECKA30. The listing is inconsistent on two points. It gives the length as 30.1 inches in the features and 30.5 inches in the dimensions, and the title calls it a PTO belt while the bullets call it a drive belt. Compare it with your old belt before installing.

This part is for TimeMaster owners whose belt has cracked, glazed or snapped. The eTimeMaster listing does not mention this belt, so it is a part for gas TimeMaster and TurfMaster owners.
