Q:Is a mulching blade the only kind of blade you can use on this mower?
by|Jun 6, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi, there! Thanks for your question. This unit comes equipped with a 22” Recycler blade, but you also have the option to purchase a 22” Atomic blade, #59534P, which has multiple applications. #59534P is a recycler straight edge, standard discharge blade that is designed with “wings,” called “accelerators” that kind of act like a fan — forcing the tiny bits of grass back into the earth. You can view blade #59534P online at: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Toro-22-in-Atomic-Replacement-Blade-for-Select-Brand-Lawn-Mowers-59534P/100190186. Thanks!

    Q:Does it come with the shoot rescue grass shoot and bags and bags?
    by|Jun 6, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi, Jimi! Thanks for your question. This unit comes with a rear grass bag and frame. Your unit will come from the factory ready to mulch, but it can also bag and side-discharge. The side discharge chute is attached at the rear, where the bag is attached. In order to avoid waste and help the environment, a side discharge chute is not included in the carton for this model (since most customers prefer to mulch or bag their grass clippings). You can have one sent to you, at no additional charge, when you register your mower with Toro at toro.com/register. Thanks!

        Q:My Toro mower ran fine all last year. I ran the gas out and changed the oil before putting it away. I recently took it out, put fresh gas in the tank, and I have tried 4 separate times to use it, but it will not start. What am I missing?
        by|Jun 2, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi, there! Thanks for your question. First ensure that you completed each step under the Preparing the Machine for Storage section on page 21 of the manual at: https://www.toro.com/getpub/193707. Then, ensure you also perform each step from Removing the Machine from Storage on pages 21-22. Since you changed the oil and added fresh fuel, we would recommend removing the spark plug and spin the engine rapidly by pulling the recoil-start handle to blow the excess oil from the cylinder. Then install the spark plug and tighten it with a torque wrench to 20 N∙m (15 ft-lb) and connect the wire to the spark plug. This unit does come with a 2-Year Full / 3-Year Guaranteed to Start warranty that you can view online at: https://www.toro.com/getpub/230245. If the problem persists, please feel free to contact Toro Customer Support at 1-888-384-9939. Hours are Monday – Friday 8:00am-4:30pm CST. Thanks!

          Good mulcher. Bagger? Not so much.
          If you like to bag your grass like I do to keep the thatch down... stay away from this mower. It's a good mulcher but not a bagger. Almost as much grass on the deck and on the ground than is in the bag.

            Never Expected It To Be This Good!! It's great!!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy start, and powerful engine! Easy change from bag to chute. I thought it would be a good lawn mower, but didn't expect this kind of performance. Best mower I've ever owned!!

            22” Toro FWD Recycler High Wheel Review
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old Craftsman lawnmower was getting hard to repair. Parts were obsolete so I had to buy a new lawnmower. I decided on a 22” Toro FWD Recycler mower. Here are my thoughts on it. I wish it had a throttle control on it. The engine runs at full speed all the time. Sometimes you need to slow the engine down a little. It sure raises a lot of dust. The handle does not fold. I mow my 73 year old aunts yard for her so I have to transport the mower in the camper shell. It is a very tight fit. Plus it takes a lot of room to store in the shed with that long handle. My old Craftsman mower had a handle that folded in half. The good news. The mower starts easily. The rear discharge chute is a great idea. You can mow close to the fence or wall on either the left or right side of the mower. The FWD works great except you walk at a fast pace since the engine is running full speed all the time. Overall, it is a great machine. Time will tell if it will last as long as my old mower.

            Start great and runs well
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best thing for interested buyers to consider, is that if you want something to last you need to maintain it and use it correctly. This mower is a very good mower for most people's needs. If you have rougher terrain and slopes, maybe go for RWD or AWD, but I have slight slopes and FWD has been fine. Some people saying the Recycler kicks up dust, yeah if the ground is very dry it will do that. I mowed during a dry spell and it was dusty. I lightly clean the mower body after every use to keep debris from wearing down the coating, or eventually rusting. If you're someone who wants to just throw a tool around and abuse it, then you'll probably have a lot of use with this mower, but far less than someone who does their due diligence. Keep it clean, don't tip it over wrong when cleaning, rake your mowing area before use to prevent damage, keep an eye on your fluids. Really just common sense, if you properly maintain it, it's a quality built machine that will last a lot longer.

            I've been mowing for well over 60 years!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Toro recycler does a beautiful job! My lawn looks like carpet. It has to be the best mower I've ever owned. The mower is easy to start, and light and easy to maneuver. Each time I've finished mowing, there is no cluttered grass under the mower. Easy to clean up.

            Details, guys - details!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good mower and would get 5 stars, but several annoyances drag it down. The engine leaver guard falls of, the back of the deck drags on uneven ground, variable seed not really variable, no manual in box.

            Need to replace bag after 5 months
            I really wanted to like this mower. Had basically same model for years, was time for a new mower, decided to go with same. First 5 months it was great, but a couple weeks ago the metal handle to remove and re-attach the grass bag broke at both welds, making it flop around and difficult to use. Sometimes the bag falls off when in use now. There are 2 small welds on the handle, both broke, normal use. This is really too bad because otherwise I really like it, but now I would not recommend.

              Toro #21442 - I love this machine!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a Toro Model #21442 for our 1/2 acre lawn. The one-pull start and the powerful FWD helps me get the job done in about 2-1/2 hours, plus I get some exercise! I like to use the bag for the front yard to keep it looking smooth and clean. I use the discharge chute for the backyard to put the “lawn vitamins” right where they are needed most. This Toro lawnmower was ready to use right out of the box - after adding fuel and the included oil. After registering my mower, Toro even sent me a free discharge chute. I enjoy mowing my lawn with my new Toro Recycler Lawnmower, and our yard looks better than ever!
