Any update on the Side Discharge chute?

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Yes, haven't gotten it yet 😂. Thanks for reminding me, I need to call them.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Received the side discharge chute yesterday May 7th. It attaches to where the bag does and shoots out to the left. Didn't get a chance to video it (trucking life) but I will next week.

[@legostar55]

@@thenotoriousrvh6091 Oh that's awesome. If you still have the box and any included papers, could you include those in the video. I'll be patiently waiting for that video.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

I try to do pretty thorough videos, so I will. Most folks skip thru most of them lol.

I'll be ordering this very same mower in a couple of days. The full Owner's Manual can be found on Toro's website. It can be downloaded and then printed if needed. (Personal opinion: A printed manual in the box is REALLY NICE... but many products are now doing the same thing. It saves Toro maybe 75c to not include it. Grr.) About that blue electric start push button: It acts as a key. If you remove it, a thief cannot start the mower even with the recoil cable. That's why it's packaged separately. Try prying the blue button out and then pull the recoil cable... the mower should not start at all. Yes, they could just roll the mower away, but it won't work unless they get something to act as a key. So, whatever. And, yeah... the lack of an INCLUDED side discharge chute really is nasty. Yes, it's free if you register. But it's just another cost-saving step that makes consumer's lives more difficult. I'm 68 and grumpy. Get off my lawn!!! :D

[@robwehrle4918]

I just purchased and cut for the first time yesterday after charging the electric start for 24 hours. I didnt use the bag, as i set the switch to recycler (mulch) and it was great, to those complaining about no side discharge chute, when you register your machine. Toro will ask if you want a discharge chute, which they will send you one, i mulch my yard 75% of the time so its not a big deal for me. Ive had no problems with the electric start, and am very pleased with this mower.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Glad you like it, me nes still going strong.

[@woody43512]

My wife purchased one of these for me for Father's Day. Thanks honey. The personal pace option fantastic. Other than that terrible. During the mulching leaves grass pull out the front over the top and onto the mower the rest blows out toward the right front wheel and onto the mower so much debris on top of it. I should have done better research should have bought the Honda

[@Casper0844]

Just bought mine yesterday. I dont know much about mowers and I typically research the heck out of stuff before buying it, but not this. Out the gate, its the best mower I have ever used. I decided to learn more after finishing the lawn. Well needless to say, I have to call ACE in an hour because they gave it to me off the rack. I wasnt worried about the lack of a box or instruction manual, but I didnt know what electric start is. I have no button and no charger!

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Ouch on the no button and charger. Don't forget to register it online with Toro to get the discharge chute.

[@Casper0844]

@@thenotoriousrvh6091 not the end of the world. Just frustrating to have an incomplete package and be sold something by someone who seemed so confident. Thanks for the advice, I just registered it and asked for a discharge shoot. What does it do and what is the benefit?

These new Toro mowers are so much more appealing compared to the previous years by just putting their plain logo on the front side of the mower. A lot cleaner and attractive than the old decals with it saying "Recycler" and black and gold background

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Simple and clean looking FTW

[@wwmilanl]

Hello Thanks for your video, so so far how are you doing with this MOwer?? you still liked?? any problems??? please let us know. Thanks & Regards

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Love it so far. Just charged the battery after appx 60+ starts it was still starting just figured it was time. Finally got the discharge chute in. It's great really huge and attaches to the bagger location so it sits behind the mower, therefore not in the way.

[@kylehumble3425]

Honestly I am very disappointed there's no side discharge. But I will be making one for this mower cuz it needs it at certain properties I do, it is very hard to cut tall grass with this mower.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

I got my chute when registering the mower online. It's great !

[@angelapfft2433]

@@thenotoriousrvh6091 thank for letting me know this. I didn't realize it didn't come with one and was disappointed. Going to register mine today after I put it together.

Glad this video helped 👍

[@genebrenner855]

Side discharge is becoming a thing of the past on most mowers including the new Hondas.

[@nikjohnson3227]

The assembly instructions were ok except, my electric start did not work after 2 days of charging. The pull started with ease. I noticed that I had a set of wires by the starter that looked odd. No instructions to speak to that. I removed the wire assembly and plugged started wire to starter plug and electric start fired right up. Not sure why that set of wires was there but clearly not needed. Hope this helps someone.

[@tedschmitt178]

No side discharge on this model...I did not know that. I was on the fence between a Recycler and a Super Recycler. I bought a Super because I have tons of leaves in the fall.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

It's not that it doesn't have discharger, it just doesn't come with one in the box. When you go online and register the mower for the warranty the website will have a box to ✔ check to have one shipped to you. The Vortex induction works great forcing leaves and grass into the bag, it gets full really fast.

[@legostar55]

@@thenotoriousrvh6091 Really? Is there any way you could post a picture or video of what the side discharge chute looks like? I can't find any pictures online so I wonder what they look like.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

Really. I'll update when I receive it. Like I said it didn't come with one, but when registering it on Toros sight it asked "If you like to receive one click here ✔" so I did. Thanks for watching & commenting !

[@nikjohnson3227]

I bought one a few weeks ago. The model I have does not have a side discharge capability. Also does not have a wash port. However, I use either bag or mulch so no big deal.

What you were looking at on the engine was not the model number. There should be on the tag where it says model: xxxxxxxx

@@thenotoriousrvh6091 o I am unsure then 😂 I just know how Briggs and Stratton usually does it

That makes 2 of us. All I really need to know is where to put gas, oil, spark plug, and air filter. I've got that. But a lot of people may not. The mower is great, the instructions are crap.

[@vinylmaven1074]

I got mine April 2021 and it's the worst mower I've ever used in 50 years of lawn mowing! It ran well for the year 2021 but I stored it late October that year (Winter) so it wasn't used that much. This year is very different! It has run terribly all this season. Surges all the time, stalls, runs at half power, etc. Had it fixed? The guy did a tune up and adjusted the throttle a little for $133.00 and I've been running non-ethanol gas and it still runs terrible! So now I'm getting a new carburetor for another $110.00! So I would not recommend Toro at all especially with a Briggs and Stratton engine! Toro has always been a great company but like many things these day's "they ain't what they used to be"! At least Honda builds their own engines. Maybe some folks will have better luck...

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

That stinks. Mines still going strong. Only issue was something chewed the battery wires. Fixed the wires put the battery on a tender for a week it's been good as new. Agree Honda would be a better choice. Was mine 1st choice just not my wallets choice 😂

[@wtipton]

Yep, they are not what they used to be, truly horrible machines now.

[@jmabs5096]

Ouch whoever your "tune" up guy is to adjust the set RPM ripped you off... If all he did was clean the carb and adjusted the rpm, should have been no more than an hours worth of labor.

[@Stever518]

Very disappointed with this mower which I bought in April of 2021. Let it sit too long and the carburetor clogs up and it won't start. In my case it wasn't more than a month sitting at the end of last season and it wouldn't start, and won't start this 2022 spring. Will have to take it in to have the carburetor cleaned professionally. Way too over-engineered carburetor.

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

That stinks. I let mine sit for basically this season 4mos, my wife's been paying neighborhood kids due to my limited time home. Got it out last week the battery was beyond dead. The supplied charger wouldn't charge it. Put it on a battery tender for a few days and to my surprise charged up. The gas it was from last year. It started right up. Can't say I've had any issues with this one.

[@therrienmichael08]

Luckily I live in Florida so it will get used every week. If it ever gets here

[@alejandrofunes2770]

Anyone else having problems shutting off the mower?

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

No, soon as the handles released it dies. Maybe check the cable attach to the handle.

[@cristianrivera3145]

Sorry but what it’s the fusible for

[@thenotoriousrvh6091]

I haven't looked to see if it's for the charger or the mower battery. I assumed it was for the charger. Fuses are used to prevent electrical fires. Instead of components burning in the event of a short circuit the fuse blows (breaks in the middle) preventing any major electrical damage.

[@Jakeplayz659]

150 cc is not a powerful engine, just sayin'.

No it really isn't.
