Just curious I've had two of these and taken both back. They both stalled and sputtered constantlyand almost stalled on any kind of bump or slight incline or decline. As if the engine was not getting fuel. Toro customer support just asked that I return them. Unfortunate because I like the mower design and build
That’s unfortunate to hear, Rick. I’ve had a few times where it sounds like it is going to stall out. I stop moving and it will regain itself. I was mulching at the time. Definitely keeping an eye on this. May give Toro a call if it keeps happening. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.
Rick D I wonder if it’s the plastic carburetor that Briggs uses on these that’s causing issues. My SR with the Honda engine is about 4 years old now and has been outstanding.
Wonder if the one with the Honda engine is better?
Just got one 2 weeks ago. It is sputtering. I am going to put ethanol free fuel in next tank and see if that helps. So many great features but that maybe a deal breaker. I usually stick to Honda small engines but the stow feature is what sold me on the Toro.
Mine sputters also on bumps. Used ethanol free gas with no luck.
Thanks for making the video. I ran into the same problems you did, but watching your videos helped out tremendously. This and my Honda HRN are my favorite mowers to use
Just bought one nearly used for under 200 I'm in shock and hopefully blessed. WOW !!!
Beautiful mower!
Just got a 2021 model from Toro. Excellent mower, no sputtering or stalling. I'm using trufuel 92 octane 4 stroke fuel.
What is your motor serial? I purchased one 8/24 but the motor was built in January 21 and it has issues. Thanks
The black editions are pretty sweet looking.
Thanks for the video!
Nathan, that's the engine I want on my new vortex toro!!
Thank you for the excellent video. I have one of these coming ( My dealer didnt have one of these yet). Its replacing a 24 year old John Deere 14SE. I'm getting excited to get it.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Not to scare you, but there has been quite a few people report an issue where the mower sputters like it is running out of gas. I did a shot video on it if you want to check it out. For some there is an easy fix of making sure the spark plug boot is fully secured. Others are still fighting issues. I’m hoping you don’t have the problem, but your dealer should be able to make sure things are right if you do. I love so many things about this mower, but a little nervous at the same time with the problem. Thanks again for watching!
@@NathanWatne I'll keep an eye out. I'm getting it from a good local Toro dealer so they will hopefully make sure everything is together as it should be. And take care of any things that come up.
It's defective!!!!
Needs a new fuel tank and part for the carburetor.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I just got mine and this s definitely helpful. The one I got has the battery already installed and it is installed in the exact the way you did except the black thick wriggly cable that you decided to leave it outside the terminal box (to the left of the terminal box as per your video) was secured inside and it actually passes very easily over the two notches and the cover secures perfectly. Not sure if that makes a lot of difference but thought of sharing. But noticed that I didn't get a charging kit to charge the batter, so I am going to contact customer support and ask about it. But really appreciate you sharing this coz I was curious if I was missing anything else and now I am sure of it :D
Correct, the black chord with the plastic covering sits inside the housing to the left of the battery in those grooves that are notched out in the plastic. Be careful when you put this chord in there and put the cover back on as you can pinch the chord wrap and break the plastic. Just make sure it is snug and place the cover on gently.
I watched just to see the starting set up I have 2018 model and was adding the starting set up but can't find and thing on it or the touch n mow set up the also have. Great video 👍👌👍😎
Excellent, informative video! It sounds like the bag switch was not designed properly.
I have older Super Recyclers that run flawlessly, even better than a new Honda HRX
I picked up last year. The Honda runs fine, but the cut quality is no match. It does mow longer grass better with it’s monster engine. Also the Personal
Pace on the Toro is unbeatable. Just being honest!
Hi Nathan....nice review!... I was interested in buying that same mower!...take care!
Thanks for watching and commenting, Thomas!!
I wanted to get this mower. Money was tight so I had to get a lower end Toro. Perhaps next year. I still have my old Toro super recycler and it has been great mower. It is over twenty years old and has aged.
Nothing wrong with that, Jim! Toro is a good brand. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the models. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This video was really helpful for us as we unboxed our shiny new mower today. It ran like a champ and we love it. Only thing we're not sure about is the electric start. Does the "button" need to be pulled back out after you start it, or can it stay pushed all the way in? None of the information we could find in the manual or online addresses this. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Elena! The electric start button pops back out on its own. If it isn’t and you have to pull it back out, it may not be set quite right.
Note, deck kickers create less pressure ,and more velocity, things drop not hang. Thats why a carb venturi works and why airplanes fly.
Good to know! Thanks for the input, Fred!
Was curious if you were still having issues with this mower? I'm thinking of purchasing a new toro and was interested in the super recycler model but was torn about which engine. I have a toro (20068) with a Briggs motor and it runs flawlessly despite the drive system completely failing and being disabled.I just push it but it cuts beautifully. I've heard about issues with the Toro Chinese motor as well and with the Honda motors termo wax actuator pin for the auto choke. So was counting on the bigger 190cc Briggs but am now hesitant because of this sputtering issue. I'm debating on waiting to see if Toro releases any new models with different feature combinations or just take a chance on what is now available. Your thoughts?
For the most part it’s been running fine. Occasionally if I run over the sidewalk or driveway in the wrong way it’ll sputter for a bit. It’s nothing like what I’ve had in the past. If the Honda mower is an option, that would probably be my recommendation. I haven’t heard if this years models are any better, but for this model, it’s definitely a problem. If you do want to buy this model, I’d recommend buying directly from a dealer instead of Home Depot or other home store. They’ve got better resources and a direct line to toro if you run into issues. Good luck with whichever direction you choose!
@@NathanWatne Thanks for the quick response. Yes I'm leaning towards the Honda motor in the Toro. I didn't care for the cut in the 2 blade system in the Honda mower. I really like the mulching system in the Toro and side discharge option. Really a shame Briggs & Stratton quality has slipped so drastically over the years. Thx for the help and the great videos. Keep'm coming!
FELLOW CYLONE!!!! RAISE UP!!!!!
The second time I used this lawnmower the belt for the self-propelled fell off the engine started sputters out the boxs
Nathan, your videos are very informative. I've had a Toro 22 inch Recycler that became too labor needy to fix, so I have been looking at a replacement. I was gravitating to this one, even with the challenges noted. But I cannot believe for the price and all its other features, it does not include the Blade Brake clutch!
So, my quest is to find a great recycler with electric start and a blade break clutch, at a minimum. I like Toro but if I cannot find that trifecta, I will have to look elsewhere.
(Why is blade break clutch not more standard, especially in these safety-conscious times, I wonder?)
Thanks, man! Yeah it’s definitely not perfect. Blade stop would be nice! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I bought the Powersmart 3-1 # PSM9422SR with a 200cc SUPER POWERFUL ENGINE and it does everything your Toro does and my Powersmart is half the price as theToro
How do I get grass to come out of the rear into the bag?? I have tried everything I could think of. There’s a lock and unlock latch inside when you flip up the flap. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
That is the mulch plug. You turn the lever to release then it slides right out. You need to remove it when bagging and add it back if you want to mulch.
I still can’t find good instructions how to put this back in correctly. It seems like it just sits in there.
I have this mower love it but wanted to go to side discharge manual talks about rear discharge plug but no details how to install it talks about removing before using bag but was never installed to begin with. Could not find how to install the plug so that clippings don't plug the hole and try to come out. Anyone know how to put the plug in?
Sounds like you may be missing the plug. It should have came with it. Mine was installed out of the box. To switch to bagging, I had to remove it. Then there is the side discharge part that goes on the side of the mower to hold the flap up.
How much was it?
Do I need to charge the battery before I use it for the first time even if I don’t use electric start?
Mine came with a charge already. Either way you only need it for the electric start. The old fashion pull start doesn’t require it to be charged.
My Troy built charges the battery while using it. So if you pull to start, the battery charges up for the next start.
You can start the mower with the pull-start at any time, even without the battery for the electric start charged.
I've been a long debate between the 21387 and the Honda HRX217. Have you considered the HRX? I currently own the Toro Stripping kit but debating on the Checkmate system as well.
Toro - Personal Pace, Smart Stow, Side Discharge
Honda - 202cc Honda Motor, Bearings, Dual Blade, Clip Director
Hey man- I debated between both of them as well. End of the day I don’t think you can go wrong with either one. The combination of the personal pace, smartstow, and overall appearance made me go with the Toro. I personally haven’t used the HRX217, but I can say the personal pace feature Toro provides is fantastic. The mower moves at your speed so you don’t feel like you’re getting pulled around the yard. Would love to test drive the HRX217 some day. I’m sure it’s rock solid as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@NathanWatne the only thing i wish the 21387 had is the blade stop feature. can you show how you would empty the bad on the super recycler? heard there was some kind of plug and makes a clipping mess
Will do!
David, I was torn between the two. I like the stow and go feature.
I had issues with my HRR. My next mower is a Super Recycler, but I reccomend you get a Honda engine like I would.
I like the top of it how it's black and red..I'm still stuck on a craftsman 21in 7.o Briggs and stratton..I believe I can raise it to 7in.i never really counted..😅
Nothing wrong with that! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
another Question ?
is the Transmission Housing Aluminium ? or Plastic
Aluminum
@@andybub45 thanks for Reply
i have the 2 Stoke Lawnboy 10601 and 3 Lawnboy 22270/22271
also Aluminum Deck but the 22271 transmission is Plastic Housing - czcams.com/video/ykSguOk6syg/video.html
@@jonienglish3231 yeah the normal Recyclers have the plastic transmission, Super recyclers are aluminum.
No! It’s gray plastic on the new black sr. It says “General Transmissions” on it. Hope they hold up. Anyone peeked inside to see it it’s metal or plastic gears? Up until now, recycler got plastic box and gears and sr got aluminum box and steel gears..
Good Video
are the Wheels Ball Bearing ?
they aren't
@@davidbellefeuille8154 WOW all the HYPE and NO BALL BEARING ?
my Lawnboy 10601 2 stroke and 22270 have ball Bearing
@@jonienglish3231I have an old super recycler that doesn't have ball bearing wheels either. The only wheel problem I ever had is the tread wearing out. Replacement wheels are $25.00 apiece. That's bad enough as I just replaced them all after 20+ years. I imagine the wheels for a commercial Toro are double that price! I'm sure it's a great machine though. I keep looking at these newer Toros thinking they probably aren't as good as the older ones like you and I have.
@@stevehoch9528 Toro and Lawnboy Wheels not CHEAP !!!
the Outdoor equipment Parts Realy Stick it to you !!!!-czcams.com/video/ykSguOk6syg/video.html
The black flexible conduit will pass through the battery housing and still be connected to the battery at the same time. I have the same mower and it looks like your was delivered by UPS as well they are terrible for large and heavy packages
Mike Hernandez good to know! Thanks for the info!
What’s the part # for the mulch plug assembly?
I don’t know to be honest. Hopefully someone who watches this will video will know!
@@NathanWatne got it!
Excuse me, are the wheels plastic?
No, sir. Rubber wheels and rear wheel drive. Work great.
Bought this same mower almost a month ago. Unfortunately after only 2 mowings, I had to return it back to the home depot. I was having the same sputtering issue alot of people are having. I heard about the spark plug fix after I returned it. but feel I should not to do any sort of work on a almost 600 dollar mower not even a month old. Might go with the 21383 model. Would like the honda engine model but they are sold out.
Order the one with the Honda. Dont get the Chinese Toro motor.
Nearly got one but went honda
That music... mower porn.. hahah
How you mix the gas
No mixing needed! Regular old gas. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks. I got confused when it says use E0 or E10
No problem! They recommend gas with no ethanol or up to 10% ethanol.
I just bought the same lawnmower from Home Depot. The battery came assembled from the factory. That looks like a returned item and somebody remove the battery.
Oil was empty and there was no sign of use. Not to say someone couldn’t of opened it and returned it without using it or setting it up. Also from others sounds like their’s was out of the compartment as well. Could be the supplier too. Either way, appreciate you watching and commenting!
Just had one shipped to me today and the battery was connected, but was not in the housing. It more than likely does not come per-assembled in the housing as yours did, or this is a major quality assurance issue Toro needs to look into in their assembly process.
I paid 230 for a different lawnmower and they gave me this one😂
Dang, that’s quite a deal!
awesome! you dog.
Just bought it on FB for $40, the battery just needed a recharge.
Killer deal!
Check out the replacement battery on Amazon, you can see the proper way of the terminals www.amazon.com/Replacement-part-mower-106-8397-BATTERY-12/dp/B00JS4GNPK/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=toro+replacement+battery&qid=1625960023&sr=8-15
Seriously, a battery on a push mower? Most push mowers start on one pull. I don’t get it.
Some folks have physical limitations making pulling a rope difficult even though they can otherwise mow with a self propelled mower.
Stow and throw away, cheap motor, good deck.
100% accurate
If you are having the sputtering issue with the Super Recycler w/ Briggs engine:
Return it and buy one with a Honda engine. Briggs and Stratton is total junk.
DO NOT BUY THIS MOWER.
UNLESS YOU ARE OKAY WITH TAKING IT TO THE SHOP FOR A NEW FUEL TANK AND CARB PART.
Garbage engine.
PLASTIC CAMSHAFT ALERT!!
The Toro I bought in 2019 was bullshit/Now i see they are copying off Honda,
What's the purpose of this video.
It's for those of us who would like to know ahead of time what they are in for should we decide to purchase one.
This video is to teach you how to square dance.
This video also teaches people who just bought the mower how to set it up as the manuals it comes with have little to no information at all. People can watch this video and get the mower ready to go.
