What to do if the hydraulic fluid foams excessively in my Toro Groundsmaster 3280-D Lawn Mower?
- D
  Dr. Sharon ChambersAug 25, 2025
  Excessive foaming of hydraulic fluid can stem from several causes. The hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir may be low, the system may contain the wrong type of fluid, there may be an air leak in a pump suction line, incompatible hydraulic fluids might be mixed, or there could be water in the hydraulic system. To resolve this, fill the hydraulic fluid reservoir to the appropriate level, change the hydraulic fluid to the correct type, inspect and repair the pump suction line for air leaks, drain the system and refill with compatible hydraulic fluid, or drain the system and remove the water.

Why does the cutting deck drop on my Toro Lawn Mower?
- Y
  ysmithAug 29, 2025
  If the cutting deck (or implement) raises but does not stay up, it could be due to several reasons: the lift cylinder may be leaking internally, the lift circuit hydraulic lines or fittings may be leaking, the lift control valve may be leaking, air may exist in the lift circuit, or the solenoid valve (SV2) in the lift control valve may be damaged or leaking. Suggested solutions include: repair or replace the lift cylinder, inspect and repair the lift circuit hydraulic lines or fittings, repair or replace the lift control valve, bleed the air from the lift circuit, or repair or replace the solenoid valve (SV2).

How to fix jerky traction when starting my Toro Lawn Mower?
- P
  peter41Aug 31, 2025
  Jerky traction when starting your Toro Lawn Mower can be attributed to a few potential issues. The friction wheel on the traction pedal might be out of adjustment or worn, except for 3280-D Models 30344 and 30345. Alternatively, the traction control linkage could be incorrectly adjusted, disconnected, binding, or damaged. Lastly, the hydrostat/hydraulic pump check valve may not be seating or could be damaged. Consider adjusting or replacing the friction wheel, adjusting or repairing the traction control linkage, or repairing or replacing the hydrostat/hydraulic pump check valve.

Why is the traction response sluggish on my Toro Lawn Mower?
- E
  Erik JonesSep 1, 2025
  A sluggish traction response on your Toro Lawn Mower can be caused by an open or damaged hydraulic pump bypass valve (3280-D Models 30344 and 30345), a dragging or binding brake, brakes that are not released, low charge pressure, very cold hydraulic fluid, a hydrostat/hydraulic pump check valve that is not seating or is damaged, or a worn or damaged hydrostat/hydraulic pump. To resolve this, inspect and repair the hydraulic pump bypass valve, inspect and repair the brakes, release the brakes, check and adjust the charge pressure, warm up the hydraulic fluid, or repair or replace the hydrostat/hydraulic pump check valve, or repair or replace the hydrostat/hydraulic pump.

What to do if there is no traction in either direction on Toro Lawn and Garden Equipment?
- J
  Jonathan IngramSep 7, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn and Garden Equipment shows no traction in either direction, start by ensuring the brakes are released. Check the oil level in the reservoir and fill if low. Other potential issues include a hydrostat check valve that is not seating or is damaged (repair or replace it), low charge pressure (increase it), a damaged transmission drive shaft or key (repair or replace it), a worn or damaged hydrostat (repair or replace it), or a damaged front axle (repair or replace it).

Why cutting deck (or implement) will not lift or lifts slowly on Toro Lawn and Garden Equipment?
- K
  Karina OlsonSep 9, 2025
  If the cutting deck (or implement) on your Toro Lawn and Garden Equipment will not lift or lifts slowly, potential causes include low engine speed (increase it) or excessive debris buildup in the cutting chambers (clear the debris). Also, check for binding lift arms (inspect and repair), a binding or broken lift valve control linkage (repair or replace), or binding lift cylinders (inspect and repair). Additionally, a low oil level in the reservoir (fill to the proper level), insufficient charge pump pressure or flow (increase it), a stuck or damaged implement relief valve (repair or replace), a damaged lift control valve (repair or replace), or internal leaks in the lift cylinder (repair or replace) could be the reason.
