    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi, Teddy! Thanks for your question. This unit comes equipped with self-propel technology, so when you pull the self-propel-drive bar to the handle and hold it, it will engage the self-propel. To disengage the self-propel-drive, simply release the self-propel drive bar. The maximum self-propel-drive speed is fixed. To reduce the speed, increase the space between the self-propel-drive bar and the handle. At any time, you can also adjust the self-propel cable by turning the adjustment nut counterclockwise to loosen the cable adjustments, adjust the tension on the cables by pulling them back or pushing them forward and holding that position. Note: Push the cables toward the engine to increase the traction; pull the cables away from the engine to decrease the traction. Finally, turn the adjustment nut clockwise to tighten the cable adjustments. You can view more information on page 20 of the manual at: https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/d5/d555c3de-5635-4bbf-8ea6-2fa2e3694a1c.pdf. Thanks!

        Q:All gas mowers need oil changes. This one doesn't?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi David! Thanks for your question. Changing the engine oil is not required, but you have the option to if you ever want to. We recommend checking the engine-oil level before each use and just top off oil as needed. You can view more information on page 18 of the manual at: https://www.toro.com/getpub/182751. Thanks!

          A:  Seemed strange to me also but apparently they are confident enough in their engine and the lubricant that the oil will last the lifetime of the mower. You do have to add oil if its low. I will say that I have never had a Briggs and Stratton engine fail. Years ago I had one that was old when I got it and I did have problems with cables. I quit changing the oil hoping it would die so i could get a new one. It just kept going. I finally gave it away.

              Not Real Happy
              The bagging system is crazy on this model, when I put the bag on under the flap that flap fills up with grass what's the purpose. Don't like that. I also noticed on this one it's hard for me to start it I have a real old toro at my cabin and one pull is all it takes to start it, this one is sometimes 5-6. For a woman thats to much.

              I bought this mower a month ago and have used it 3 times... I love the self propel feature! Could be a bit slower.. it really takes off!! But I get the yard done quick!! I don’t like that It throws grass outside of the bag and clogs into a band of holes it has on the catcher attachment area that isn’t in the manual nor do we know why it’s there!! Hard to clean and messy!! I also don’t like that the catcher is white... Unfortunately I may take the mower back..

              Lawn master
              It goes without saying, I am watching the cash flow. Also, the pandemic is having a effect on lawnmower parts and mowers. I really wanted to get another super recycler like the one I have now (it is over 20 years old). I settled for this model while I will see if I can get my old super recycler up to par. Lawn mower shops are beyond busy, shortage of parts and even some mowers. I used the bag feature and it has been fine. I will bag if there is a lot of leafs and debri to mow. There is some grass blow through from the bag. However, for me, I usually mulch. So this is not a big deal. Runs good so far. I will see how the mulch goes next mowing. I still plan on getting a super recycler in the near futurre or if it is not worth it to fix my very old Toro mower.

                What a machine!!
                Long story short, I'm tired of wasting money on someone else cutting my lawn. Took the leap and man does this lawn mower make this job so easy. Front wheel drive so much fun. I actually enjoy cutting my lawn because its so easy. The Toro recycler 22" is wide and the kholer motor is flawless every time. I recommended this power mower to my family and friends. Honestly you can't go wrong with this one, great price and features.
