From farms to fairways Toro has a long and storied history dating back 100 years. And all the those years have been centered in Minnesota. The Toro Motor Company started in 1914 making motors for the Bull Tractor Company of Minneapolis (and 'yes' Toro is named Toro because its Spanish for bull). By the 1920's Toro was shipping turf and lawn maintenance equipment all over the world. Watch how a Toro Lawn Mower is made!

How a Toro Lawn Mower is made.
From farms to fairways Toro has a long and storied history dating back 100 years. And all the those years have been centered in Minnesota. The Toro Motor Company started in 1914 making motors for the Bull Tractor Company of Minneapolis (and 'yes' Toro is named Toro because its Spanish for bull).
When the tractor firm went belly up, Toro turned to golf - and the rest is history. By the 1920's Toro was shipping turf and lawn maintenance equipment all over the world. It wasn't all straight down the fairway though - economic challenges (depression, recession, global competition) were met with continued success, and changing technology meant adapting to new and modern gardening innovations. Today, Toro continues to be a world leader, in not only golf maintenance, but for home/residential lawn and gardens.

We have two 328D Toros with Kubota diesel engines. What a fine machine, especially with a Flail on the front that Toro sourced from Hughson, California near me. Keep building these in the USA and don't sell out to the soulless corporate raiders
Toro personal pace mowers are made in USA!
Make Amerikkka great again
@@blackericdenice And don’t vote DemoKKKrat.
Fascinating to watch, a rare glimpse into a legendary company. I’ve owned and serviced Toro mowers since the old Whirlwind days, nothing like them out there. The Personal Pace drive system is a true flash of genius, I see other manufacturers trying to copy it without infringing on Toro patents but they fall far short. Currently have two SR4’s and a Time Master and I love ‘em!
Toro is the only brand i buy for my cutting business....grass looks awesome
i have a toro 22" recycler, with the briggs & stratton engine, that i've had since 2009. to this day, 1 pull and it starts right up. MAYBE 2 pulls after sitting in storage for a couple months during winter. i keep non-ethanol gas in it, i keep the oil changed, i keep the filter clean, and i keep the blade sharp. it has been far and away the best mower i've ever owned. and when it comes time, i'll buy another one.
I have had my Toro super recycler with the aluminum deck for 4 years. I can honestly say it is far superior to the Honda HRB that it replaced. I would give the Honda engine a slight advantage over the Briggs but it stops there. The transmission on the Honda seized and the dealer wanted $400 to fix it while informing me it was a common issue. The Honda was heavier and bogged down in wet conditions. The personal pace allows you to go a slower in over grown conditions. The twin blades on the Honda needed constant sharpening and even so I would give the Toro higher marks for the quality of cut which is what really matters. The icing on the cake is the Toro is less expensive.
same experience i had with HONDA, would never buy another, I bought many TOROS through my 31 years as a school district maintenance supervisor, all lasted very well
new honda is only $400..... with a honda all metal transmission. Might be time to re-consider
I have the ss3200 zero turn 32in toro . It works great in my commercial yard business. I use this mower for back yards for when my 60in John deere cant fit thu the gate . So far no issues in over 5 years
I just bought one of these mowers and I love it! It has The Toro TXP 159 cc engine which I hear is a chinese copy of a honda engine but with some upgrades by the Toro engineers that actually make the engine more durable then it's honda counterpart. A cast iron sleeve (vs aluminum bore) and ball bearings on the camshaft (vs aluminum bushings) on the honda. In the video you see all Americans working in the plant but the label on the box of my mower said the country of origin was mexico! Just say'n.
Still I believe this is a high quality mower that should give me years of reliable service. That's why I bought it.
As a small engine mechanic . ive worked on both Honda and Toro , I find the Toro to be mush ezer to repair than the convoluted design Honda has . but i will say this about the Honda motors they are Cheaper to repair than Briggs and stratton motor .
I disagree B&S is much cheaper for parts. What are you referring to?
This guy has a question for you. You must not have got the notification
Yep. Toros are way easier to work on than the Hondas.
Toro bought out lawn boy years ago. Their pretty much green Toros now.
America has millions of lawns, and they all need mowing.
If people have the lest bit of trouble with their mowers they go buy a new mower.
Steel stamped decks really have no down side. Better blade designs is the stuff.
Ive seen many steel decks to plain rot out after 5 years. I have 3 mowers, all aluminium decks. A 1986 countax sabre 19, a 1990 mountfield 18 mirage (1100 to 1300 hours on it) and a warrior 22 inch that i bought at the end of 2019, its basically a DR sp22 with a better engine. 34 and 30 years out of aluminium decks is a very good thing. Both still solid btw because i clean them after every cut
What's the name of the engine?
I am have a grass cutting business. I have a lot of ideas on how to improve the mower. My 30 inch toro can't cut tall grass so as a solution they should make both shoots much bigger. Thats way the grass escapes easily.
I will buy one Toro !
Seeing them test for the mowers emissions is great. Although it's a tiny engine it does still pollute and thought and care put into helping reduce those emissions is important.
They have a major pinion and wheel drive issue , starts to grind due to lack of contact overlap of gears. Wheel is plastic gear and axle has to much side to side play this reduces gear overlap
Love the history!
I've got a Toro Recycler Personal Pace with the Honda GCV160 engine. It's been good so far, but I prefer Honda mowers.
I wish you guys had something to replace my 21" Sportlawn. . . . I love this mower, but parts are getting scarce. I have tried Tru-Cut, and California Trimmers, but they are heavy, and cumbersome to use in tight areas.
Toro means Bull in Spanish.
What does slick leg mean in prison?
I work in a high volume lawn equipment store and shop. I think Toro could have a better lawn mower if they upgrade components on their mowers including self propelled systems , wheels.
emissions check- yup the free CO monitor we got from the local fire department 8 years ago didn't go off. .... Burning clean
can the super recycler blade fit other mowers?
No
The "Kickers "have been gone for quite some time
Hot heat: The steel deck Toro's at Home Depot say Made in Mexico. Are the aluminum deck models still Made in USA or is this an old video?
Great question! Check out the Toro website for more details: www.toro.com/en-CA/homeowner
Alan Sieja, I work for The Toro Company at on of their many plants in the USA. In our plant we cast a lot of aluminum mower housings not just for our assembly area but for other assembly plants also.
Cody Hoffman That's good to know. I love my Toro Recycler. It just bummed me out that the box said made in Mexico. At least the Briggs engine was made in the US.
@@AlanSieja The Toro Mowers you buy at the Toro Dealers (non-big box stores) are the higher end USA made models.
To-ro timesave all the way
I’ll buy a Honda Commercial HRC’s
TOM PIPPS . FOAM - BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA . HI HELLO &
Top designers really their mowers are lucky to last a year before they rust out try making something out of good metal and engines without plastic your modern mowers are junk
I have been in the business mowing lawns almost 60 years. My two top choices are the good old snappers and second choice is the Honda mowers. The toro does not even come into the game plan. The reason they dont is because TORO does not stand behind there products. Its as simple as that so to me they are junk.
At least back then the Toro mowers didn’t clog, bog, and stall! Did you even test this mower? Engineering embarrassment
The most lousy lawnmower our family has ever purchased. Got a Toro Recycler in 2010 brand new and had nothing but problems, even after checking the filter, checking and replacing the oil, changing the blade. All it did was bog down and stall and leave clumps of grass. It guzzled gas like no tomorrow and blew the exhaust in the face of the person using the mower. Lousy engineering. Poor quality. It would not cut through tall wet grass without stalling and both of our craftsman mowers could do that no problem whatsoever.😂 I would rather have one of the original Toro mowers
Toro cheaped out on the components on their consumer lawnmowers in 2008. Plastic gears in the wheels and junk kohler engines. Toro mowers do nothing but stall. I hope Toro goes out of business.
