Toro Recycler 22 in. Smart Stow - Undressing and Startup

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- As a homeowner, I choose to mow my own lawn. For the first three years I used a hand-me-down lawnmower, but it rusted out so much that I had to buy a new one! The model I bought is the Toro Recycler 22 in. smart stow (Model # 20339) with the variable speed front wheel drive.
I decided to have a little fun and make an undressing and first touches video! I also start it up and mow some grass...you know...typical stuff...

I gave you a captain shout-out a few weeks ago and nice job for all of your hard work and you are officially one of my Captains
The walk speed one is actually personal pace
I was unsure how to unbox a lawnmower but your video helped, now im on my way to unboxing other things like packages that get delivered, im getting better at it the more boxes I open.
1:29 - "Always remember to lift with your back, never your knees"
Nah it's the other way around
LMAO FR it’s lift with your legs
Right wtf!! 😂😂 I hope he’s joking
He was being funny you boob
Lol it says right on the box to cut the end of the box and roll the mower out anyway.
I’m outta here. Thought this was cordless
I think he meant to say lift with your legs not with back
Front wheel drives ALWAYS suck ass!!! Rear wheel drives do not lift the front wheels losing tracking when bag is full.
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.
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 ....
@@harpoon_bakery162yes, losing your folks feels like being an adult orphan, yes? The mower runs very well. It's got the same Briggs and Stratton as my last sp mower ( craftsman) which lasted nearly 15 years. Best wishes 😁
So sorry about your loss! Thank you for the kind words and I wish you good luck with your mowing endeavors!
@@LowkeyLawnCare thank you my friend!
Dang Buddy, I hate that.... I lost my dad on March 14....I hope he's with ya smilin watching you mow, lord knows I miss my daddy already greatly.
Thank you, I am a single female that is not comfortable with any mechanical stuff. Very helpful!
Same 😂
@@Mariah_the_scientist l
Same
Its "lift with your legs" lol
Make sure if you lift with your back, do it in a jerking-twisting motion 😆
lifting with my back is how I herniated my disc! lol
🤦♂️
Didn’t catch his sarcasm? :)
@@bubbagump1306 It's not sarcasm... he literally lifted with his back :)
Now you just need a lawn for that new lawn more. :0)
Haha no kidding! 😂
Right!😂
That's fucked up 💀
🤣🤣🤣
@@LowkeyLawnCare Did you put gas mix or regular?
I bet your one of those guy's who say, "Hold My Beer and Watch This"
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.
Love this Lawnmower I use it on 5 yards a day very smooth. Took the grass chute off it’s cheap made and started dulling away where it connected to the discharge chute. I still give that mower 5 out of 5 stars it’s a beast never bogged down on a job yet.
Hence I have rear wheel drive
I have one and not bad. Store it in the in vertical position, it's design to drain the fuel in the carburetor into the tank in order not to clog carburetor passages.
Thanks for the video! My mom/room mate just bought this. The manual and app did not give me the confidence you just did! Wish us luck. #GirlsTryingToUseMachines 😜
J Jameson haha good luck! You can do it!
Did you have a lot of grass clippings that didn’t end up in the bag?
What is blue hole with the water drops on it. I have looked everywhere and unable to get answer
It’s where you can hook up a hose and wash it out.
Husband is a truck driver so I needed to buy the mower and put together. Wow, your video is s life saver. Thank you. Need to know how to empty bag but thanks for all this info!!!! ♥️
Use your back not ur knees😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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!
@@LowkeyLawnCare Used the mower today without the bagger- easy as could be ... did a nice job with mulching too. Love the ability to attach the garden hose to clean underneath. Good design.
Apple Stump Bushcraft Stuff and Things Great idea… Was worried about back injury getting the mower out… Thanks
Thank you so much! I got mine today, unboxed it, and couldn't understand the "no words" instructions. Then I found YOU, and my pretty new Toro is sitting in my kitchen, ready to attack the lawn tomorrow morning!! Your video was very enjoyable AND helpful. :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed and found it helpful!
Single mom here. Never done something like set up a mower before. Was wondering if I should put the whole bottle of oil in. Thanks for the help ✌️
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.
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.
There's an engineering failure that we can see; one of the cables is rubbing against the rear wheel
Just bought the same model took out of the box getting ready to start and I see exactly what you’re talking about what is taro not seen in this issue.. Cable should never be touching anything ever!!!!
New subscriber man just bought this mower today love it great video!
Thanks! Enjoy!
You know you can use mixed gas/oil. with any mower. Nothing will happen... Actually is better for the mower to have mix fuel in it...
Been doing that for years after a mower tech told me about it... Cuz i was having issues with the carburetor.... i"ve never had any issues after that with any of my mowers or power equipment.
Great video, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Questions: where is the spark plug before you start the push lawnmower
Same place it was after pushing the mower.
Good one think you only get free ones in USA and Canada... I'm in the UK just paid 😢 for one .. but your right you do need it specially if the grass is a little high.
It's been two years....would I buy this mower again? Check out my 2 year update review here: th-cam.com/video/YP9mKFTuLaA/w-d-xo.html
i just purchased on with my stimulus check i wanted to get something to remember this time that should be a long term investment i call it the pandemic mower. so far so good. when the government call for the shut down shelter in place order my mother has 3/4 acre plot to mow i think it actually little over acre but anywho with the trees and moles and voles tunnels cutting the grass is an adventure when i cut. this mower been very good so far handling the high grass well and cut my time in the front yard down by 25 min or so......i like it its rugged i got the one with the kholer engine i heard it suppose to be pretty good.
what did you pay for it. it's 359 at home depot right now, are they over-priced or just about right?
@@harpoon_bakery162 i think 329 plus tax title and fees lol...i got with the low rear tires. I havent used my rear bag yet..but yes its a solid mower. The troy bilt about 40 cheaper at home depot. I got mine on sale. Toro had $20.00 from manufacturer
@@cjjonez ok, that might be the one i need until i can get my rider going again. Honda's are about 6 bills compared to Toro, i realize they are many cuts below a Honda (i'd love to have a Honda 200cc) , but dang, by the time im done with tax and stuff im at 400 bucks on this one. Thank you by the way!
@@harpoon_bakery162 home depot here had toro with honda engines i think at 349 or 369. But go to toro site they will show which brands they give discounts on my cousin got a craftsman honda ive used here my kholer do just as well or even better id say. Iam not a big fan of paying over 250 for a briggs no matter the chassis.... i say the kholer great motor on a mower👍
@@cjjonez yea, the 359 one is the B&S engine and the 369 one is the honda....but the 359 is the space-saver type and i don't think the one with the honda engine has that stow-away feature. i could be wrong i'll look again. My 2002 Craftsmen riding mower just died -- Briggs and Straton -- just pops like a firecracker when it tries to start, i was cutting the grass today and made the stupid decision to shut it off while i went and opened the back gate, when i tried to restart it , it pops like a gun going off, i think the flywheel key finally gave out or something. big storms moving through and now i have a half cut yard, lol. damn. anyway, thanks for the help!!
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.
It's a sweet mower, most important to me is wheels are sold in store at home Depot and at Lowes ,tires are better than Honda mowers being I owned both over the years ,bag stays putt,great bracket design that bag sits , it claims not to have to change oil and I like this mower ,with store bought and not internet ordering like many other mowers ,it was so good I bought a second to replace the Honda mower.its better
i learned everything in this video. good advice for the soft pull tip for oil distribution. just unboxed my toro (not Smart stow) recycler. PERFECT! thx!
Saying it's idiot proof unless you're an idiot is like saying my phone is waterproof unless you trow some water on it. I'm sorry, I just thought that was funny. As a guy that went thru back surgery, please, oh please, I beg of you, don't ever lift like that again. Entertaining video.
Just what I need before open a new one without having to skim through the instruction. Thank you.
Easier way is to cut the bottom of the box open then lift the box up so ya don’t have to lift the mower.
What is the blue circle thing on top of the mower for..it has oil drops on it with two locked sings?
It’s to add a water hose to rinse the undercarriage.
How is the mower holding up ??
Great so far!
Thanks ... just bought one ... I agree 100% ... no need for personal pace model ... mow on brother
Right on, thanks!
Is it an either or situation with the side discharge and the bag? My son mowed the lawn with both outlets closed and the lawnmower stopped after one pass. Is it because the grass had no outlet and clogged up the undercarriage?
Yes. I'm guessing the grass build up got too much for the mower to handle in "mulching" mode. I made a video recently explaining the different mowing modes...might be helpful?: th-cam.com/video/Z7IpSZIjgOY/w-d-xo.html
Some of the questions were not answered, particularly one about adding the whole bottle of oil that came with it. I added the whole bottle and it looks like it overfilled the engine. Could that be a problem? If so how do I correct it? Should I drain out some? and How do I do this? Thanks otherwise a great video
Hey Robert, the owners manual on mine said to add the whole bottle. I’d check your manual and makes sure it says the same since it’s been a couple years.
TIP for anyone who bought the newer 2020 model of this mower: Do yourself a favor and register your mower. When you do, you can check a box to indicate you want the (FREE) rear discharge chute. You're going to need it for wet or tall grass. This mower bogs down very easily in less than ideal conditions.
Great tip! I have a video coming out this week talking exactly about that!
Hello, We just bought this same model as our first lawn mower too! Thank you for this video, very informative. We will start it up for the first time hopefully tomorrow (if it doesn't rain)
Thanks!
You don’t need to add oil before you start mowing ?
Why lift it out of the box and break your bac.? Just cut the end open and roll it out.
Can the lawn mower also be used without the bag?
Yes!
I have a 60V model number 21357 it's variable speed and not personal pace and it's also rear wheel driven
Remember to change that oil
Lift with your back .?......
if you watch the whole video that was not the only joke he did!
Lol thought the same thing
We have Lawn Mower Replacement Rear Wheels that may fit your mower. We can provide for free. Do you need?
Those 2 personal pace models the first one is the one with push button electric start or the model with blade break clutch and there is a model with personal pace is the model 20332
Very nice video.
This was awesome! This dude was funny too. Thank you....subscribed to watch the rest of his videos
Haha thanks Jesse!
So what's the verdict after one year?
Still love it! Starts right up and mows like a champ!
Do both levers need to be held to the handle when mowing? Thanks.
My bottom bar is lose...no tension...
Tor mower 21465 is a piece of crap. Don't waste your money. Worked less than 8 mows and warranty is worthless.
Mine came with a little bit of oil plus a full bottle of oil should I still add the whole bottle of oil in it?
I got this exact model and did all the steps perfectly, added oil and gas, primed it, then PULLED!-aaaand nothing. It won’t start. Pulled like 25 times. Nothing. I just spent nearly $400 on this thing, what the heck is going on?…
It says some come w oil in and some don’t. I checked it said it was full. Started and it broke
It's weak AF in thick bermuda, unless you walk 0.05 mph it will stall. This is the new version with vortex and rear only discharge.
Honk Watch your language
Why did you say a bad word how I knew because I heard that beeping sound when you were trying to get the clips for the bag of your lawn mower
nicely done!!! i love that there is "tech" but NO drama!!!Cheers!
nice vid...what kind of gas do you use with it? do you just go to the gas station and fill up your gas can?
Yeah, I just go to the gas station and fill up the can! I've had some people recommend premium gas, but I just use regular.
@@LowkeyLawnCare great thanks
I bought the Toro Smart stow used it once & now it want start? 6/13/22. I was told to add the whole content of the oil that was included. What could possibly be the problem???
Like your presentation. was trying to make my mind between Toro and Honda, Got first toro and when i started to mow the lawn i realized the Blade was bent.so i returned it. Now thinking with care what to buy.
Thanks for the review, can't wait for spring to get me one of those. I'm like you I love spring and summer, winter is so depressing for me.
Best video by far 😀🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. This helped me out. I decided to give my hubby a break and cut the grass myself. Give him a little break for father's day weekend. 😉
Just bought one several things I don’t love how you have to adjust the weels one by one them it’s front drive rather have self prepel with the back weels over all I do like it but wished it wasn’t fwd and the weels adjustment one by one sucks !
The self-propelled lever is an exact copy of a John Deere JX75!
Cannot get my guaranteed to start mower to start. I guess I need man muscles 😢
Dang sexist lawnmower 😂
The personal pace system garbage
if you follow the instruction manual, no need to lift q 65 pound mower
Absolute garbage mower. Had it for two mows and it is out of commission.
This thing isn’t obvious. I don’t see where to connect the blue starter, also there’s only one bar to install, How do you do it?
Now you just need to learn how to grow a lawn..!!!
Haha no kidding! It has gotten a little better over the last year or so, but this year my focus will be on the yard and getting that in better shape!
How about steablizer?
my lawnmower has a small plastic cap, does anyone know what it is for or where it goes?
Great video. Just get a larger shirt. I think you outgrew that one bubba
That poor lawn needs more than a mow
Thanks for the video. Buying one today!
Thanks! Enjoy!
Just bought one and can’t wait to use it!
Cool I. Just bought this same mower today.. Is fuel stabilizer necessary?
I only put stabilizer in at the end of the season before winter hits...during the summer I don’t.
thanks ..
I had a craftsman lawn mower which rusted out, reliable machine lasted 14 years time to buy a new mower, I purchased the same model as the one in this video, wow I'm quite impressed with the power never had a self propelled one like this.
I grew up mowing with a Craftsman! I love this Toro though...great mower!
Great video..easy for chicks too..
I love your video, that I actually today I bought my lawn mower like yours,
Now you just need grass to mow!
Agreed! It’s getting better! I’ll post a follow-up video once summer gets rolling...Maine is still stuck in pre-spring!
Low-key Lawn Care aerate, pre emergent, and some good fertilizer and humic acid will do the trick
For sure! I’ve been working on clearing some more land and will be expanding the lawn, so I’ve held back on anything like. Hopefully this will be the summer it starts to transform!
This helped me a lot..Thanks for the Video.🙏👍.
Thanks Edgar!
thanks just bought about to see how it works
Great demo. Really appreciate it.
I dont like the new stuff it looks cheeply made rather use the older style mowers last a little lonnger like my 1999 yardman rear wheel drive with a commercial style briggs lasted a long ass time nothing went wrong with it the only i had to replace was the filter and blade
I remember the first mower I used growing up that my dad had...an old gray Craftsman that ran and ran with no issues. It finally bit the dust, but by then it was OLD...haha
@@LowkeyLawnCare yeah ppl are better off keeping there older style mower no use having a new mower to break on you
Knees, not back, lol
personal pace, I hate it
What wt. oil do I use
Has it been reliable since you got it? Nice video!
Yes it’s been great! One of my recent videos gives an update on it!
@@LowkeyLawnCare Great thank you! I’m getting it!
I saw that milk container at the beginning of the video and said, that dude’s from Maine.
Haha nice catch! 😂
Excellent video,simple and to the point.Thank you.
Thanks!
“Always lift with your back, not your knees” 😂 I love it!! Maybe an Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference?
Thanks for the review.. 4 years later! I’m a bit late to the party. 🤷🏻♂️
I have the non easy store version of it. Had it for about 3 months and I love it. It's fast, starts up most of the time on one pull, only complaint I have is the handle bar is a littel low for me. I'm 6 foot but overall it's a great mower.
Yeah I can see how that could be the case. I have mine at the highest handlebar setting and sometimes it feels even a bit low for me (5' 6").
