Hey man I just want to say thank you for making the video humorous and easy to understand. My dad and I bought one of these last winter and we were going to lauch her on her maiden voyage in the spring. But dad decided it was time to pass away before this great event. I think he must have guided me to your video because I needed to smile through the tears of missing him so much as the voyage began without him here. Great video. Made my day.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

sorry bout your Dad man.... lost mine too. how do you like the mower? i need to get one quick because my riding lawn mower (craftsmen) just bit the dust and I'm going to rebuild the motor (which my Dad taught me how to do), but in the mean time i need a mower that can be folded up and not take garage space. thanks! Home Depot wants $359.00 for this ....

[@awoodard7215]

Thank you. I enjoyed the video and I learned about the soft pull to circulate the oil for a smooth first start. Just took mine out the box and added the oil.

[@pmoney3688]

I picked one of these up yesterday..... was just gonna look, but tractor supply had it knocked down to $259!!!! Sold! Got her all set up out of the box, and it smoked when I first started it(I thought maybe that’s just a new engine?) Ran it about one minute, started to see little oil coming out of the muffler. At this point I shut it down and double checked the instructions, figuring maybe I missed something. The only thing I did not do was check the oil level after I filled it, which I really did not think was necessary. So I went back outside checked the oil level, which was fine, wiped the oil splatters of the deck, fired it up again, no smoke ,no oil, mowed the entire yard without incident. Has anyone else had this experience? Really loved the personal pace, got a really nice cut. And the all-wheel-drive made it considerably easier than my old rear wheel drive mower. My yard is about 70% hill.

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

We just bought one of these mowers. I thought about my back when it came time to get it out of the box, so I cut both sides of the end panel of the box so it folded down to the ground and I rolled the mower out on its wheels. Easy enough - zero lifting. Putting it together was just as easy. The high rear wheels really make a difference - don't even need to use the front-wheel drive function. It starts on the first pull and is miserly with gas. All in all, a good mower, IMO. Thanks for the review. Cheers.

[@LowkeyLawnCare]

Nice! Yes, I could have definitely been smarter about getting it out of the box...saw another person just tip the box up...but I like your way! Thanks for the comment and enjoy your new mower!

[@jimtalor7971]

We bought ours over 10 years ago and it runs like a champ if you do basic maintenance. I call bs on the "no oil change.." Every spring I sharpen and balance the blade, check air filter, clean the under carriage of cake on grass and change the oil which Btw the old oil is nothing but sludge. The machine starts on one pull and purrs like a kitten. I cut the grass every week for the whole growing season and this Toro is really a good machine just dont scalp the lawn or cut wet grass as it will bog it down.

[@backspace4093]

I’m not sure it even has a drain plug. If not I’ll Just take off the filler cap. Tilt it over to drain the oil and run Mobil one full synthetic 10w 40. That’s after the break in. I use Mobil one in all my outdoor power equipment never a problem.

Enjoyed your video. But...it seems that after you take out the white bagger unit, you could use a knife or a box cutter to slice the box from top to bottom at both corners of one end of the box, then just roll the mower out instead of having to lift it out of the box. Think that might work? For us older folks with less than Herculean backs.

Is the grass long? My first thought is that the mower is betting bogged down, but if not, it may be an issue with the mower. Should be under warranty if you just bought it.

[@McScott76]

I have the same problem. My 12 year old rusted out Toro that I had before this would plow through 10 inch grass with ease. I finally sprung for a new Toro, and it bogs down at the mere sight of tall grass. I'm incredibly disappointed. I have the updated version of this mower (purchased in Fall 2021). For some inexplicable reason, they removed the side discharge from the new model. The lack of any option for a side or rear discharge (other than bagging) is incredibly stupid. The mulching blade simply can't keep up unless you go painfully slow, back up and go back over the same spot multiple times. I really regret this purchase.

Great video! One quick question. I bought this mower in the fall of 2020, and it worked great! However, in the spring of 2021 the bagging system started to not work properly only filling the bag about 2 inches before clogging. I have washed under the deck and have washed the bag a few times but no success. I have also tried a new blade. However Just a few days ago though I used a power washer to clean more grime from the deck, but because I just mowed my grass with another mower, I have not been able to test if the better cleaning job worked. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else had the same issue or if it is just me, I have not found any KZbin videos about this issue with this mower so I thought I would comment on this one.
