Now that is the best complement I've ever gotten!

Crispy clean! Hi guys, hi Allyn, how are ya? I want to get a new Toro lawn mower this year. I currently own a Toro 22” Recycler. I think it’s 10 years old. So I’m thinking about following your lead & just going with the Super Recycler. I noticed that the new Recyclers have the same engine (EXi 163cc) as the entry level Super Recycler. I guess those wedges make all the difference, that’s crazy. In your opinion... No need to upgrade to the EXi 190 cc engine? Please advise. Thank you sir!
Thanks For The Video. I Drove To Home Depot And Got Me One.. #21386 🙌🏼

After months of reading reviews on the Super Recycler, I finally came across this video. Your full review had helped me with my decision. With just one use, I couldn't stop mowing my yard. I have the Toro brand engine in it. The engine is super smooth, and cut quality seems to be second to none. Thanks a million Allyn, this purchase finally turned me into a Lawn Care Nut
Thanks for taking the time to share this new Toro model. Shoveled 7.5 inches of snow today up here in Milorganite land.
After over 10 years of pushing mowing I got one these today for my business. So far so good.
I love the blacked out look. The stamped emblem is also a really nice touch. Stickers always bubble or fade over time. I bought a new super recycler last summer and love how it cuts.
I have a toro with smartstow. Love it so far after about 7 months of owning it. Saves me lots of space in my shed. I’m actually willing to put the no oil change feature to the test. I check oil before every mow. All good so far.
Nice to see all the new changes you pointed out! Finally retired my old 2 cycle recycler recently after I picked up one of those 2020 no oil changes ever motor mowers sitting on the curb, all wheel drive 22 cut that had the piston rod through the block, swapped it with an old briggs laying around and now i have a brand new 2020 rig with fancy no primer bulb carb with dual air filter. I think this is going to be a thing where alot of these no oil change models sitting on curbs this spring summer & fall for free
Just bought this one today. So smooth cuts like butter. Love it
Just bought one from a local dealer. I love it! I have a big yard on a slight incline. No issues.
I got my first Toro mower today. The Super Recycler with Personal Pace and Smart Stow. It is so easy to mow with. Best mover I have ever had.
I bought this mower yesterday. Can't wait to enjoy mow.
Early 2019, I bought a leftover 2018 Toro super recycler with blade break and Toro engine. After 1 year use, it’s by far the best mower I’ve owned yet. Just have to remember to occasionally empty the grass and leaf clippings from the blade break.
Man, this makes me want to paint my Time Master black. I hear a difference in sound. The '20 sounds smoother. I will be sticking with my Time Master and Honda HRX mower.
The toro engine definitely has a lower tone. I’ve never paid attention to the different engines sounds on a mower, I just listen for the hum of a mower and start looking. Awesome video. I love that you can keep videos interesting while we are here fighting snowy cold days in the north. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Just picked up the all black super recycler! Thanks for the video, helped me choose my new mower. Went to buy the 386 but 385 was in stock at my dealer! Love it!
Nice mower. I own a Super Recycler for my half acre lot. Bought it a number of years ago. I remember the salesman said to me, " it comes with a bag, but you'll hardly ever use it." And that's true. I only use the bag for the first cut of the year. After that it's no bag at all and this machine gives a great cut, while not leaving visible clippings on the lawn, even though a huge amount of grass has just been cut.
You truly are the nuttiest out of all of us in this community. Keep being you and keep buying more mowers for all of us to see. 😃
Great looking mower! Now.. the selfie with the mower has taken your neighbors guessing game to a whole new level!
Just purchased the one with the toro engine from my dealer. Got it home and did two passes to take a little bit off my lawn. Then did one pass on my neighbors over grown yard. Let me tell you I'm very impressed. No clumps no bogging down hell it even stripped good. We'll worth the money. Before I made the purchase I was going to get a used recycler but decided to treat myself to a new 2020 super. So far no regrets I'm so ready to cut my hole lawn tomorrow.
Just got mine today and the cut is amazing! Storage is a sweet bonus!!
Nice to see this while I look out my window at a winter snow storm. Needed some sunshine in my life!
60 days to spring! Enjoy the snow blow!
That thing just let's the neighbors know your doing alright. I will be grabbing one as soon as they show up at my dealer. Great vid LCN!
Less than 18 hours after watching this video I bought one. Super psyched to put it to use. Never owned a self propelled mower before.
you will love it!
Just bought a 2021 model! Can't wait for it to be delivered so I can try it out. Thanks for the review!
I’ve tried the Toro and wasn’t happy with the cut but kept it for 5 years and last year bought a Honda HRX217 for about 830 bucks out the door because it had everything I wanted from the ability to mow from as slow as I needed to faster than I could ever go. Never even consider a Honda until one of your videos last year or year before and has given me the best cut I’ve ever received from a mulching lawn mower. That new Toro however in black looks good.
I had a toro 20831 and thought it cut great but found deal on a hrx so I sold the toro. So far regretting it. The Honda doesn't mulch even remotely as well. I read a recommendation to run the rear height 1/2 a notch lower and it seemed to help but still not matching the toro. The control on the Honda requires much more finesse or it will run away from you unlike the toro personal pace. Interesting
Super Recycler is a monster mulcher. I love my '08 . My favorite is my 2003 Lawnboy Gold Pro 10550 - powers through anything and the 2 cycle/fresh cut grass smell cant be beat.
OMG you got the murdered Recycler!
I love it!
This year my Recycler died after seventeen years and I replaced it with a 60V Recycler. It’s fantastic!
Note that I only use it monthly when I rake my lawn from corner to corner and de-thatch and am essentially using the mower as a vacuum. The rest of the time I use a manual reel mower but I can’t get over the 60V. Much better than the eCycler I tried and returned a few years ago and far better than the Husqvarna I tried and returned last year.
I bought my Toro Super Recycler back in 2003 with the Tecumseh engine. Still running strong, I have done some maintenance and replace the drive cable on it. It'll be interesting to see how much longer it lasts.
Such a sick looking mower. I've been in the market for a new one and I think this thing will be it. The black looks so clean.
Ethyl, the crazy guy on the corner is taking selfies with his lawnmowers again...
Don’t look, Ethyl!! 🤣😂
🤣
He finally got his threesome.
Ethyl can be seen peeking through a window on the selfies
Ethyl, did you know you were named after a kind of gasoline?
Thanks for the quick reply. Gonna purchase one tomorrow.
This is my favorite mower of all time
Great video and comparison of the two model years. Love it
Very cool review man, Thnxs.
Just bought the 400 dollar FWD Recyler Toro and am quite happy.
Never new they had so many model options.
Thanks for the video
Very helpful 👍
just picked up a balck edition with the Toro motor what a beast!
I did spring for a 21387 version of this mower and so far so good. It has sold me a little bit on mulching. I am good with how it cuts, I may ask my dealer about the oil change and not needed to do that. i'm a little old school and while I'm not a stickler with oil changes I still believe it should be done every now and then. I look at condition more than hours as to whether it needs changing. As a lot of you said though, maintenence is key to keeping these running. My 1986 Lawn Boy 8480 runs and works perfectly. I just wanted something to go with it. As for the engine sound comparision, if i had to draw straws, the Briggs sounds a little smoother, the Toro engine sounds more like when you could get Tecumsehs on lawnmowers.
I have that "no oil change ever" feature on my car. It's called a leak👍
😂😂😂
Love the black. When time comes for a new rotary the Super Recycler is top of the list. First time I used one was at your place and I loved it. took some time to get used to the personal pace but it was game changer for me!!.
she's a bute! and the ride is so smooth.
You're getting me pumped up for spring!!
that's the idea!
I just bought this same mower at Home Depot for $499. Model 21386. Love the mower.
I have the same challenge with changing the cut height on my Toro, it takes a lot of effort. Until today. I lifted up the corner section of the mower just a fraction to take the weight off the wheel, and that lever easily moved into place. Next time I’ll put a scrap of lumber under the body to give it a little lift.
I'm with you on the oil changes... Just has to be done regardless of what the requirements are
Getting my first super recycler this year, and this one with the smart stow will be the one I get for sure!
Stay away from Briggs and Stratton and get the Honda
Put cardboard on garage floor though or the Mrs. Will have your hide...ha.ha
I've had a Biggs & Stratton cheap troy built for 11yrs still starts first pull Andrew. The Honda or Toro engine you can't smart stow that's why TJ wants it.
I need one of these in my life!
I dig the 2020 sound...
Great video and love the new colors. I have been using the Super Recycler for over 25 years and wouldn't buy anything else..Thanks
thank you for great review and change the oil still , my dad and i have a land scape business and ran the pi** out of the briggs works great but yeah works better when you keep up on maintenance
Slick ride. Looking forward to the super easy spay video.
Thank you so much for your review as you just made my decision for me since I just started my decision to “dominate my neighborhood “
Spectacular!
Congratulations Allyn.
Use it well and in the very best of health
Cheers.
Toro is finally getting closer to a mower that I want. The old one I have has electric start and a blade brake clutch. The only model they currently make with both those features is the timemaster, which I'm not sold on yet.
It seems crazy to me not to change the oil on 549$ mower.
I suspect Briggs realized that the vast majority of their engines that end up on 149$ Wally world cheapo mowers will never see an oil change before they hit the scrap heap - so hey, why not advertise it as a "feature"
Just my .02
At a minimum, a "post break-in" oil change should be done.
Way back in 1985, a Briggs engineer told me, "The two main reasons why a Briggs mower engine fails is one, owners don't check the oil and two, owners never change the oil."
The no oil change is a advanced feature as it dosent recirculate oil
@@PaulSikkema well that was 1985. A new briggs engine can fail by looking at it crosseyed.
@@southaussiegarbo2054 thats absolutely false. Check and add is total BS.
Digging the black edition.
I have the spin stop model its great for bagging because when your bag is full you can drive it across the yard to your trailer without the blades turning
I Love it... 7:19 A camera setup to video you taking a video of yourself taking a picture (or video) with your new 21386 :D - Top notch! Vlogging at it's best!
nice vid and a awesome collection of mowers... ....Toro's are awesome mowers...still using my 2010 Recycler....just had to do basic maintenance over the years and clean the carb once since I've had it... 😎
I'm jealous.... looks good. Nice purchase Allyn
CHANGE YOUR OIL FOLKS!!!!! I just bought a Toro recycler, it has the “no change oil” feature and after the first mow, I checked the oil, it had metal flakes in it. The reason being that during the machining process, there was residual metal particulate, and during the break in period, the surface isn’t perfectly smooth, so while components are rubbing together, they are taking off the high spots, where do you think those flakes of metal go? In the oil. If you never change your oil, those metal flakes in the engine WILL eat away and destroy your engine!!
I was told by the dealer to do a full oil change between 4 and 8 hours of use. Of course I had to ask the dealer specifically, and Toro doesn’t give out a printed owners manual anymore
Thank you, I thought about this as well as any motor that uses oil should be treated the same. Your comment should be on the box in bold letters. The break in period is what makes something a keep forever because you know you treated her right.
Agreed. The “no change oil” claim just seems like a bad, bad idea. Anyone who hates the thought of changing mower oil should either buy an old-timey reel mower or an electric one.
Fun video, and nice black mower. The red engine and details give a cool custom vibe. Oh! I actually found a gator type blade for the Super Recycler at Home Depot. I forgot the maker, but I scooped it up. When installing on the mower, I noticed the lift lip was higher on the new blade. This feature REALLY helps get a cleaner cut and the "gator" feature improves the mulching. Now go play in the yard!
I like the sound of the toro engine
Just called my local dealer about this model hit up youtube and see this...gotta wait til March they said.....can't wait....getting the all black model I have enough space and the 2 point adjustment is just up my alley.
Check with Tractor Supply. They are in stock in Texas stores.
Yep, changing the oil is a right of passage....well said.
Thank you.
The both sound almost identical but the 2020 is just a bit more pleasant humming than the older one. It could be because it's new. I have a 2016 Craftsman with Briggs no oil change required engine and it hasn't given me any issues. I'm actually about to change the oil for the first time after watching your video about how to do it and using the shop vac.
I'm upgrading mowers this year but I've had my cheap Bolens with a B&S engine from Lowe's for 17 years and have never changed the oil once. Starts within in two pulls eveytime. I literally used it til the wheels fell off..
Wow that looks awesome. I just brought one last month. Got a great deal on it. I should have waited for the black option.
Just returned a 21386 with a blown motor bought Aug 2020....not even 6 months of mowing....and yes it did have oil...hopefully Toro will honor warranty!!!
I've actually got the 2018 model in red with the Briggs & Stratton. But man I would love to have that black on black!!!! That's where it's at!!!
Love the black out look.
Me too, polishes up nice.
Love the smart stow feature on my regular recycler. Lost the use when I put the checkmate on though. I am not kind to that engine (need an excuse to upgrade one day) and it starts no problem every time for years now.
Uhm u can still use the smart stow with the checkmate striper? They have a video on how to do it on their website.
Dig the Three's Company intro 👊. Nothing beats the Bob Marley / "Joeboo" voodoo beat from one video though, my favorite. Just got my Toro Timemaster last week and can't wait to enjoy the Mow this spring. Keep 'em coming for us cabin fever northerners Al. 👍
I was going to get a Honda til I saw this thanks great review Sir
I'm looking at this exact model and the one with the Honda engine
Really wish they would’ve made it a 2 point adjuster on the wheels. Clear difference b/w the 2020 and 2017. 2020 sounds cleaner to me. Great video as always. So jealous of the murdered out super recycler. I might need to go check in to my local dealer!
I believe that the “no oil changes ever” featureis for people who might forget to put oil when they change it. Perhaps it will only accelerate the wear on the engine and soon it will be replaced. My Craftsman Honda mower has lasted 15 years with oil changes every 3 months...but the sound and torque of the Briggs & Stratton engine is unique!
I've finally got a super recycler, a 2004 model, with an OIL FILTER on the Briggs Intek OHV motor. Nice mower, like it a lot, never seen a pressure lube push mower though.
Definitely can appreciate Toro getting all Kustom Kulture wit it...love that type of stuff. While the murder matte black is pretty sick, I still say the killer bee scheme of my Cub Cadet SC100HW with the hub caps popped off is unbeatable for over all bad assery (see my love letter to rotary mowers video). Kudos to toro for this, the attention to detail is pretty damn phenomenal. I LOVE the stamped logo on top and that red rail on bottom of deck...thanks for showing us Al....siiiick.
You made me a toro fan. I have a pretty big yard to mow, and after seeing your video with the time master I had to have one. Got one last year and that thing became one of my babies (note: I have multiple things that are my babies that I give a little extra love and care too). I won’t go back to the other brands I’ve used.
"No oil change" just sounds like trouble. Every combustion engine will leave small metal shavings in the oil which must be drained out.
Alright, I've owned a Toro high wheel personal pace recycler with the EZ stow since November and pretty much have used it every week on my lawn. Other then a few minor issues I have really enjoyed the way it performs and cuts. The personal pace definitely won me over. However the EZ Stow while seems like a good feature allowing for easy storage or changing a blade isn't a feature I'd purchase again and I didn't. I bought the solid black Super Recycler with the Honda engine last night online from Toro website. I did not buy the EZ Stow this time because there lies a problem that could happen if the engine isn't sealed properly. Mine leaked into parts it wasn't supposed to and ended up coming out my muffler and carburetor after letting it sit level for awhile before starting. I ended up having to drain the oil and cranking the engine to push the oil out before putting fresh in and changed the filter. It wasn't because I didn't lift the mower improperly, it was a design flaw. Luckily no damage was sustained internally. Because I mow neighbors yards I decided to upgrade to the Super Recycler. I was going to get the Honda mower but I really love the personal pace. The Super recycler has better components and built sturdier then the low grade residential mowers including a better filter. Those lousy tiny air filters they put on the low ends really suck because they get dirty fast. I also recommend those who love the mulching on these Toros to buy the Gator mulching blade. Best mulching and cutting blade I've ever owned. My other advice is be careful buying the EZ Stow.
Good call on changing oil! That’s a deal breaker for me. No way I would ever let an engine especially add oil only. If not using synthetic, that’s a new mower every 3-5 years after the engine eats itself
I'm totally agreed with you. I have both Honda and Briggs and i have no problem with them since I'm take care of them really well. Change the oil every like 6 months-12 months. I really don't understand why many people are not a fan of Briggs and Stratton.
I think they’ve given up on getting people to change the oil... also so many people would just rather charge a battery
I just use a vacum pump and suck it out from the dipstick
@@Treeck57 because they use too much damn plastic and they cant seem to build an engine properly... not to mention many of their engines are made in China.
Bought the all black last night. And FYI, it does come with smart stow.
Subbed ! This video is a year old , you may not see my response , enjoyed the video !!! Still using my Toro 20055 from 2005 !! Can't kill it , would love to buy this new one , but now on a mission to see how long good ole 20055 lasts !!! I'm up here in Ct , love being that guy in the neighborhood that people see with a green lawn in July when all others are yellow and burned ( Kentucky Blue grass + have irrigation + reg fertilizing schedules ) . You have great info videos , thank you !!!
Briggs n Stratton engine sounds like an early summers morning in Australia. My neighbour's know this noise well..
I like the black "Road Warrior" look.
I like the new black
Just bought the 21382 with the Honda engine a couple days ago. Can't wait to test it out. Its my second Toro with the personal pace. This new one replaces my 2005 model.
How’s the mower working out for you? Interested in the same one or hrx
@@Johnny-dw6un ..... Been doing great. Glad we bought it. Started right up after sitting all winter. But we do use non ethanol gas with Sea Foam added to all our toys and small equipment.
Really good video. Thank You
You're welcome 👊
Joined the Toro Super Recycler Black Edition club today.
Thanks for the video. Briggs and Stratton sounded less labored. I prefer the Briggs since it's made in USA and the ones I've had run forever.
That’s a good looking Toro
2020 kick ass plus its great for small sheds ..............
Nice video, LCN! Was wondering if you'd be willing to do a video on changing oil for the Super Recycler? I know it's not required for this model, but I'm a novice and would like to learn! I'm sure others would too! Thanks!
Making a trip to Lowe’s for black spray paint tomorrow.
Aaron Allen me to 😂
THAT BLACK IS SWEET
Was going to get a honda this time but you sold me on the toro sr, and I'm a die hard briggs guy just wish the engine cover was black to.
But still a very nice mower. Good video
I’ve never changed the oil on my Toro GTX. I’ve had it for 16 years now. Still starts in 1 or 2 pulls. I’ve changed the plug and blade. Cuts like a champ. I’m afraid if I change the oil now, it will take a crap. Lol
they sell them at Home depo now. picking mine up later today. its funny I bought it for pick up just before i saw this video
That is an awesome mower! I like the black on black toro, but smart stow is nice and have real good luck with b and s motors. Tough call for me. Either is awesome!
i love this!
