The MOST POPULAR Mower For 2020?! (And We Got One!)
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 05. 2020
- Today we're unboxing and using for the first time ever the new 2020 21" Toro Super Recycler push mower! Tons of you guys have this popular push mower and have said that Toro did a great job with it, including the well thought out features like the Smart-Stow and their Next-Level Mowing system.
Toro did send this item out to us to share with you guys, and this is by no means a review in any way shape or form. However, we did put it through it's paces today on my moms property and boy did it do a great job on her lawn. I've been anxiously awaiting for this mower to come in the mail, hence why the grass was over 6" tall, so safe to say, we were ready to put it through some thick tall grass!
We'll make sure to keep you guys updated as we go throughout the season and give you updates on how we like the new mower. I will say so far we're really enjoying the personal pace technology and the smart stow for storage! It's just crazy to me that we're using a gas push mower on my moms lawn because that's how we got started 20 years ago! How crazy is that.
What do you guys think about the Toro Super Recycler? Do you guys have the black-out edition?! Leave me some comments below, I'd love to hear what you guys think that have already been using this mower since spring!

What do you guys think about the new mower?! I tell ya what.. it sure does take it back to humble beginnings.
Brian's Lawn Maintenance Snapper with a grass catcher! LoL
I always sharpen a new blade before I use it. They come factory like a butter knife.lol
I have the 22”........ I feel it works better without the discharge shoot..... in the fall it mulches the leaves so fine it looks like that I bagged
Nice mower. I have a cheap old push mower that I use for basic trimming and my Zero turn for the rest.. Good to take care of Mom for sure...
Do you like it better than the craftsman push mower you used at your mom's house?
I can say I didn't use a push mower in 25 to 30 yrs but I gained a customer in South Tampa,Florida. That needed a small mower and I went out and bought the toro 30" and it does great. After years of use it's still the only customer I use it on. Typicality if I get a customer with a small gate I put in a bigger gate to fit a 72" or a 48" mower, time is money gotta keep the man hours down... good video
What a good lad Brian is for mowing his mother's lawn. A good example for other young people.
I bought a Cub Cadet Sr621 with 180cc Kawasaki in about 2000 with a similar side set up (not quite as convenient). It had two covers on wingnuts, one discharge chute and one mulching/bagging cover. The mower did not hold up well (wheels, cables, height adjustments, transmission etc) but the Kawasaki engine still runs perfectly!
Super cool bro love it
That is a great lawn mower. I've got 1969 red deck mower with white 3hp Briggs engine on it, and it's awsome. Age sure is just a number.
We bungie cord the discharge chute open instead of using the provided flap, discharges way better that way.
Also can put the bagger on with the chute open, sends some clippings into the bag for less clumping.
Love my Toro Timemaster!!!!
I purchased a Honda HRX217VKA 3 weeks ago because it doesn't bog down in tall wet grass like the Toro did in the backyard mowing scene in your video. I used lawnboy 2 cycle commercial mowers for 50 years and the one I bought in 2003 blew the crankshaft seal. If Toro had sent me a mower to review, I'd still buy the Honda HRX217VKA instead.
Wish u did the mulch on 2nd cut. It's literally called the Super Recycler for a reason. Mulching is it's strength. Thanks for the post. I'm a Honda guy but that blacked out scheme is badass
Great video
Nice push mower!
such a natural
Hey Brian I respect the stuff that you do in this sort of crisis that’s going on so I really have mad respect for you
Keira Shepherd hey thanks
I got the same red/black Super Recycler too! Coming from a 15 year old Craftsman the Personal Pace takes some getting used to when backing up. The Flex is a nice feature. I noticed like an engine knocking sound on mine too, maybe that how the Toro engine sounds. I've checked my oil levels and where it's supposed to be on the dip stick. There is a Toro stripping kit that runs for about 100 bucks.
Nice to see you take care of your mom's property. I do the same with my parents.
I decided to start my own landscaping company at 16 and your videos help out so much with lawncare. I have a toro awd personal pace and it works great and cuts clean.
I’m not sure which Toro I have but it works pretty good. I push mow a 3 acre corner lot with that thing.
Have a 6.5 hp toro that I have had for 18 years and still will use in the fall for bagging leaf litter. Starts up no problem. Love the small toro mowers
I would have mulched the clippings on the second pass. Or use a blower to disperse them.
This mower started my business! And I still use this on my commercial sites today one thing I have is the blade stop system!
Same i have a personal pace with blade stop and 190 cc briggs and have an older electric start tecumseh personal pace, that is what got me into lawn care. Love my toros. My grandma gave me my first mower I will never get rid of it. She passed away last july and thats one of the best memories I keep of her. Happy mothers day to everyone and happy mothers day grandma. Thank you for everything
I have the black on wt Toro motor and super happy wold not change it
Great video Brian, I have always been a fan or Toro because they make awesome products! And Toro does offer a stripe kit for the 21 inch push mowers! I run the Toro 30” Timemaster, Toro 60” Grandstand multi-force and the Toro 60” Z Master 5000 series my ride suspension, Toro fertilizer spreader/sprayer and my Toro Dingo! I love them all!
Taking care of mom is top priority for any son. Mow for my mom as well, but she's an hour away. So keep a little mower there and trimmer.
Welcome to the Super Recycler family bro!!
Hey Allyn! I’m thinking about buying one too!
I just bought the same mower 2 days ago as well. I had a call for about 1/4 acre of up hill mowing with an overgrown lawn with tons of blackberry in it. Grass was 2.5 ft tall, but the self propel pushes right through it and I never felt like this mower was bogging down. I was bagging the entire thing too (people don't really mulch here). Needless to say I have a new bi weekly client! (typically we aim for every 10 days here, but some people have budget for their rentals)
Love this mower but I do change the oil .
I have a Super Recycler. What do I think of it? It needs more power! I've had four Toro's with the Personal Pace drive system. The PP system is great when new but with use becomes problomatic. It needs a redesign!
-MORE- *ENGINE* Those weak 160cc (even the Honda GCV) and smaller engines turning consumer level blade tip speeds have some difficulty when it's growing season in healthy thick or somewhat wet grass. You most definitely have to stay proactive with it or you'll get the clumping unless you raise the height.
-MORE- *PERSONAL PACE* Out of the box it's great. However when it gets some use it will start to not want to fully release and becomes a pain in the rear. All of mine have this issue within a year. This causes it to turn hard, to push forward hard, and to pull back hard. Releasing the PP handle a couple of feet before you turn or back up works ok to stop that, but it will still happen at times. The only fix that I know of is to disassemble part of the wheel/gear assembly, clean and reassemble. However it will happen again. It's an easy moneymaker for repair shops. It's easy for a do it yourselfer but you shouldn't have to. It's just not a great design for the long haul. I will definitely not purchase another one with that system. Maybe a Toro Commercial because it doesn't have that system and it has a bigger engine.
TORO'S I'VE OWNED OR USED REGULARLY IN HOMEOWNER ENVIRONMENT- TimeMaster. 223cc engine- Decent cut but Not enough power because of the loss from the belt and pulley setup. Also seems to clog the deck fairly easily. -SuperRecycler w/Honda 160gcv- Good cut. It's not balanced very good if you use the bag. It doesnt fill the bag much before the front starts bouncing.
Not enough power. Hell even honda went from a 190cc engine to a 200cc engine in their upper residential 21inch offering. That should tell you something about consumer mowers.
-22inch Recycler- Not enough power and a so so cut. This thing also loves to strip out the plastic gears on the rear wheels. Replaced a set with the same factory ones. When it happened again I modified it by using parts from a different mower with metal gears. Plastic gears was their update..Great move there Toro...
-SmartStow with Reverse- My mom purchased this one to replace her 22inch Recycler. This thing has a so so cut and has had drive problems in both directions. Once again if you have a healthy lawn you better be mowing quite frequently because.. where's the power?..... Personal Pace *NEVER AGAIN*
Better stripes for a push just drill a few hole in a steel pipe and zip tie it to the back grass skirt of the mower.
Looks good, GAS ? Because of ethenal I buy premium gas to avoid ethanol gas, what do you think ? That gas did two weed whacked in.
Also it was my birthday 5 days ago and I was so happy because I got a brand new edge trimmer
I have basically that same more it was last year's model works great you'll like it
Check out big league lawns for a striper
I ha e the Toro recycler ( the first version) love it. Still use it to this day. Its nice going back to a simpler time. Taking care of mom ❤❤👍👍👍👍 treat mom right while you can. No one better than Mom
Bought my Toro Recycler personal pace back in 2009! Takes 3 pulls in spring when first start on old gas. I don’t treat it right and it’s still awesome to me. Just bought her a new blade for this year.
I love the super recycler
Looking sharp! Nice to see the green grass.
Is it all wheel drive? Mine is and it's 5 years old. Never a new drive belt or any other maintenance! When on a bank or slope the all wheel drive is a must!
Randys Lawn Care
No, I don't read instructions til I am done....This is what I do....Tall grass toro says put it on the highest height first A, then go back over at the height you like. I cut my customers lawns long 3.75 toro C up to mid June and then 4 toro B for the summer. Helps keep the grass green and growing during the droughts. If the grass is super long bag plus side chute lol.
That mower leaves a very nice cut. Good demo Brian
Awesome! That’s right, you gotta take care of mama!
My Honda went thru 1 foot tall and mulching bogged down once compare to Toro 6 in plus discharge
I’m 14 and have a 2019 super recycler it’s made me soo much money very reliable I have 47 hours on it never had a single problem with it cuts like a champ I mow on days no matter how wet it is without discharge or bagger never have to double cut because of clumps my grandpa has had his super recycler since 1997 hasn’t had a single issue with his either!
I got the red version after watching LCN review on it. Awesome mower love the way you can fold and store it away in the garage.
I have owned nothing but Toro Recyclers in the past 20 years. I would not have used the side discharge. Either mulch it or bag it. I currently own the Toro Electric recycler and it's the best Toro I have ever owned! Hands down. They know how to make mowers!
Get the checkmate stripper only 100 dollars I got one for my timemaster and it stripes great
Ty will look into it!
Laying stripes at your Mom’s! Outstanding!
Hello, how come you don't air rate the lawn in the late fall? if possible! What I don't like doing it during this time of the season is that you get those ground tirds that stick to your equipment and it's just a mess.
We offer both spring and fall aeration services, thanks!
Also the way to make good stripes is the little rubber flap on the back of the mower you can just put a Very heavy metal bar and then make it secure.
I noticed that at the end, they thought of everything ha!
Keira Shepherd very smart I think you may be a future business owner
Take the side discharge off. These mowers are known for their mulching. The deck's alluminum. Best 21" cut. These mowers can cut wet grass and make it look good. You can cut in the rain. Little mess. A bit pricey over other 21s but I have a bunch of other practically new 21s in garage (doing nothing) thinking I could save a buck. Upgrade to the 8.75 engine to push through thick and wet.
I get just as excited. I just bought a new Cub Cadet mower for my new business and love it but this mower looks like it did awesome.
OMG you have not been around push mowers...checking the shoot with side discharge and mulch combo and saying that is neat lol love your channel because you are real THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
You should've cut the backyard with out the side discharge. That thing is a beast at mulching , its why its called a Toro Super Recycler. I own the same one and have a very thick front yard that typically needs two bagging with a non mulching mower.
Great push mower. The lawn looks fantastic 😁😎
Ive been using that mower for the last three years. Mine is red and has the larger back wheels. I have found that overfilling the gas tank causes the air filter to fill up with gas and makes it harder to start. Once I got that problem solved, it starts on the first pull. It has paid for itself ten times over now. I did replace the side discharge chute last year, little ears that hold it on wore out. The easy store handle makes it easier to clean the underside. It was also a good value at about $400. That is my very first self propelled mower.
Made good stripes. It done a good job....
Very impressive on deep grass. I do very little push mowing in my yard on a hill by the garage. 4 inch grass and my brand new push mower struggles. I won't state brand. Because I grew up a fan of them.
I bought this mower as a gift for my dad and it mulches better than my commercial mowers...
I think I should Save up and buy one
Great video buddy 👍
I love the cut. Love the styling but unfortunately I had to take mine back. Sputtering like it was going to die especially on uneven ground. This was cutting about an inch off of dry grass. I’m not the only one with this issue along with leaking gas. It’s a known issue with the Briggs & Stratton models.
Just purchased the one with the toro engine from my local 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. Ill be cutting mu hole lawn tomorrow.
IMO, looks like it did a great job, Very interesting. Might take a look at buying one. Thx Brian for the review.👍
I want that mower sooooo badly. I have a recycler right now and I lover it, but this would be a game changer for a yard I do.
TORTURE TEST!!! I got the 159cc TORO SR with the electric start this past May. LOVE IT!!! My neighbor, Nicholas just got a 42" TimeCutter. Made me jelly AF... even though I have a decent slope and some other really rough terrain on my 10,700sf. LOL. I've seen 1 or 2 videos of the Titan at your Mom's house. Can't remember if you ran it through 8" grass though. - Be well. Stay awesome.
Great video Brian! That will be my next mower! Debating either the 163cc or the 190cc
with electric start! I have the HRX now but want to do a comparison of the 2 myself! 👍
Did you get the super recycler? Is it better than the hrx in your opinion?
@@Johnny-dw6un I have both. I think the HRX does a better job of cutting and sucking up all the grass clippings. As the super recycler does best for returning the clippings back to the lawn. I'm mostly like bagging my lawn 90% of the time. I did check my RPMS on both mowers. Both were set lower than spec. I set both mowers at 3300 RPM's. The HRX was at 2900. The Toro was at 2700🙄. A guy on CZcams who works on these mowers said to always check what the factory set it at. Toro seems to set their mowers under spec for safety reasons. Even though the manual reads 3150-3300. My mowers are older. Both bought off marketplace super reasonable. At this time I like the HRX cutting quality. But I prefer the Toro drive system.🙄 I'll update more later. Hope this helps.
I liked and subscribed and turned on post notifications on
That good thing you are doing that for her because tmr is mother day
Sweet lines Brian.
This mower is a unit! Great video Brian, was just looking for a good self propelled push mower.
You mentioned not using a push mower. What do you use on backyards with narrow gates?
We don’t do any gated properties anymore!
Looks good Brian
Great vid man! I made my own stripe kit on my Honda out of pvc works amazing!
Great mower. I've got one..Great video. Thanks
Yes, you can get a oem striping kit
Where can you buy one
Home Depot!
Brian's Lawn Maintenance thank you
Nice, I have the toro striping kit for my 22 inch deck. It works pretty good, you just fill it with sand and hook it all up.
I run 2 toro heavy duty 21s(Honda) and they are monsters, tall grass or short, wet or dry. They get through anything best purchase for the city jobs, due to a lot of gates.
Good mower
It looks so nice
I’m just someone who loves to take care of my own yard know of the good brands out there but these Toros are something different. Lawnmowers at least. Especially the commercial line. They just seem to do a phenomenal job.
I’d like to see a demo on the Toro Timemaster 30”. Really debating on purchasing the Timemaster
I have two of the time masters and I can tell you they are worth every dollar you’re going to spend on them. They start almost every time on the first pull and cut very well.
What do you do with the cores ? Rake them up and bag them or just leave them their? Asking for a friend 😁
They biodegrade in about a week or two!
If you come to the UK you can buy the Toro recycler mower in Toro colours or in the British brand Toro own called Hayter which is painted in British racing green with a own brand Loncin engine. They Hayter version is known as the Hayter Osprey 53.
So I just bought toro 22inch with the Kohler and I have it!
Thanks Brian!
"Ya got to take care of mom."
What your opinions on the Briggs motor on that toro push mower thanks
No opinion, haven’t had many of their engines on my equipment sorry!
I've had one since 1999 still runs good uses a little oil
Gas powered push mowers are life bro. I miss the days when you could just throttle up and not have to worry about bogging down
Nice mower! What kind of earbuds do you have?
ISOtunes Pro’s. We’ve used them for like 3 years now, never had any real issues, I think they’re really good for lawn care. They’re an affiliate partner, Brians10 saves $10 with them online. 👊
Brian's Lawn Maintenance Sweet thanks man, I will try those. Love the channel keep up the good work!
Toro continues to produce a great mower. I have a Super Recycler from approx 1994 that still runs great and starts on the first pull. Need to raise that HOC tho... crank it up... lol
Great Video man!
Shoot deflector prongs break right off the first time you bump it into a gate...
Nice looking mow!
Looks awesome mate! Might have to give one a try ;D
I believe Checkmate makes a stripe kit for the super recycler
Toro if you’re watching please put a Honda gcv200 or Kawasaki fj180v non Kai on the super recycler!
I would pay one. Looks good 👌
Really good mower Brian, IMO one of the best out there for residential! Just curious what your fertilizer program is for your Mom's house, looks like some area's need some soil amending! The core aeration will help in some of the thin spots for sure but you need to keep the fert steady! Maybe a Soil test is in order! Thanks for the quick review! Chad Upstate NY
nice man!!! Hell yea looks like it cut great! I love both my toro personal pace recyclers they are great machines.mine has the 190cc Briggs and it definitely isnt underpowered. ✌
Hey Brian I worked for a Complete Lawn Service Company in high school then a few years later in lower Westchester County, NY. I’ve been watching your page for about 6 to 9 months. I also snowplow on every now and then when he needs help. I have a ton of questions in the difference’s from how I was trained to cut, trim, Ryan lawn plugger, also Ryan over seeder. Why do you much? Just about every client we had it’s Chappaqua, NY you know where Bill and Hillary Clinton live. If a chair was moved they call because it wasn’t placed in the four previous indentation’s! I was trained in every aspect of how and what to use to get consistency and a lawn that looked better than Yankee Stadium! Broad leaf weed control Trimex Fertilizer schedule’s and the only thing he used was Johnathan Green Lawn Products. Now I’m not judging I believe your a huge reason some people who were on the fence go all in. One thing it’s hard work if you don’t like either wearing long pants when it’s 90°F or getting your legs pinged and bitten and covered in grass then it’s not for you go home. I personally have learned a few things from you! Thanks dude. Ok my question’s why don’t you ever use grass catchers? Over the weeks the thatch could act as a fertilizer but you lawn will look like crap. I noticed you say “let’s go throw down some stripes and I’ll be back” those stone edgers with all due respect wtf? 😂 I do like your trailer set up! I ran the trailer witch was the only thing large enough to carry a 48” Walker GHS 2 belt driven Bobcats both Cats had those heavy steel grass catchers but the old 48” Bobcat could cut Yankee Stadium our crew used to challenge each other who cut better which is what I was thinking about before Covid 19 screwed it all up, I was going to challenge you to see who laid not only the straightest stripes but the cleanest now grass clumps from mulching and no early turn marks at the end of the stripes. I’m not the best but it’s like riding a bike! My biggest question and this seems to be the norm everywhere except the Northeast? In my humble opinion using grass catchers is a big part of a healthy lawn. I believe that’s why thatcher’s were invented? Anyway correct me if I’m wrong when mulching don’t you walk the same area of grass than using a catcher you never walk over one section of lawn twice? Thanks for all the great video’s! Love your plowing style but too big for residential Jeeps with bear claw chains on all four tires and 4 low can push 3’ of heavy snow plus turning around is a piece of NY Apple pie!!! Thanks Brian looking forward to your response!
If I said anything out of line it wasn’t intentional I like to keep it clean!
Mom is always #1 LOVE the blacked out deck super clutch! Laying some #Stripes for Mom great way to kick off Mothers Day Weekend!! Rocking the #Kujo shoes!
