Toro Super Recycler 20093

by Jim Henderson
(Broadway, VA)

Paid $550 bucks for it 6 yrs. ago and thoght I had a lawn mower for life. It even had a 5 yr. warranty. And boy did I need every year of it. This mower didn't go a single summer without breaking down. The personal pace transmission completely died the second year. This year (6) the mechanic told me it would cost $300 to fix the engine. So much for my mower for life. I'll be looking for a new mower this summer, but I'll never buy another Toro.

Toro 20055 Transmission Problems
by: Anonymous

Toro 20055 transmission problems for five years in a row. The transmission went out this year, the last in my warranty.
The back wheels would lock up and I would always have to drag it back, it was like three times the work every time I mowed the lawn. This year, the transmission lasted about five minutes. I got to level two Faye @ext 4242. She said I basically have to coast to a stop, ?, then pull back on the handle, (soft and hard), or roll it forward and the wheels will unlock. This is the last year of the 5 year warranty and I needed the whole of it. This is the first lawnmower that has done that I have owned. I didn't buy the over $500. lawnmower to treat it like a piece of art. I got it to mow lawn. Five times back certainly qualifies for NYS lemon law. It's back at my great dealer Junction Equipment, Faye was notified as she wanted, so I suggested a replacement. Deafness. As I pulled up I went by and saw the same mower I have. I heard $150 bucks to fix? I asked transmission problems?, He said, yeah, I said this is the fifth time back for me. He said load it up and decided to buy another brand of mower. My dealer said they were phasing Toro out.

Long life
by: Tom

Bought the Toro Recycler 17 years ago. Yes, 17. Started every year on the 3rd pull, at most. Only trouble was that with thick grass that I let go too long, the mower bogged down trying to "mulch" and I had to go slow, really slow. The 4HP motor just could not handle it. It was frustrating through the years but the thing would not fail otherwise! Ready to replace now but I realized that $450.00 mower really gave me my money's worth. Only reason for 4 stars is for the power.

Toro Sucks
by: Big Stone

I bought a Toro Super Recycler about 6 years ago and always had problems with the engine running properly. Long story short, don't buy a Toro and don't buy a Briggs!

Love My Toro
by: Anonymous

I have virtually the same mower (20055) except the blade override and have had the opposite experience. I have been yet to have a single problem with it in almost 4 years. Best mower I have ever had.
