| About - Toro Recycler 20332 |
|---|
| This 22-inch, self-propelled gas mower has a 190cc-displacement Briggs & Stratton engine. Its rear-wheel drive operates at variable speeds. This model can re-cut clippings until they're small enough to settle back into the lawn as mulch, bag them into a removable catcher, or discharge them through a side chute. When changing the grass-cutting height, each wheel of the mower must be individually adjusted. A washout port also is included for cleaning the mower deck. The model comes with a 2-year warranty. |

I have had this mower for about 14 months. It's been to repair shop 5 times, including a new transmission. This is a piece of junk. CR rated this much too high. The self propulsion needs constant repairs.

Nylon Gears = Frequent Wheel Replacement

Comment:
The drive sprockets on the drive shaft are steel, but the sprockets on the drive wheels are nylon. The steel gears wear the nylon gears smooth and no power gets to the drive wheels. Thus I have to replace the drive wheels about every two months. It's a royal pain in the neck, besides being over $20/wheel, although Toro replaced the wheels free for the first two years.<br /><br />My yard is angled steeply, but I suspect this wheel problem will not be so bad on a flat yard.<br /><br />All else about the mower is just fine, and the personal pace function is terrific.

Comment:
I bought this mower based on the ratings in CR. Then I read the reviews and thought What did I get myself into. I have had none of the problems noted. My biggest is problem is when the thick crabgrass (new home and haven't had a chance to take care of this yet) is wet the mower bogs down. I should wait until later in the day to mow, it is not a problem with the mower. I use the mower as a mulcher unless the grass is really wet and thick then I use the side discharge and it doesn't bog down. I did, however, wear out a drive belt very quickly (two mowings of my half acre yard). I bought two replacements from a Toro authorized repair dealer (one is insurance so the installed one will never break). I would recommend this mower.
