Ed from West Chester, PA shares his “My Toro Story”. We bought this Toro snowblower in 1987. It is hard to believe but after 29 seasons and regular routine maintenance, it is still a workhorse! Very dependable and still does a great job! Thought you should know that this blower still exists and functions since you don’t make this model anymore! Thanks for making a great product! As you…
By Doug Jimerson I received a phone call the other day from my youngest son, Graham, who currently lives in Los Angeles. He told me that he’d applied for a job near our home in Iowa. He said that if he was hired, he’d be moving back to the Midwest in the next month. I was totally shocked. After all, he’d wanted to live in California since he was very…
By Doug Jimerson I grew up with circus people. Or more precisely, circus person. As a young man, my grandfather worked as an acrobat in a traveling circus. He and his two partners would go from city to city, showing off their precise movements on the fulcrum, trampoline, and balance beam. By the time I knew him, however, my grandfather had long since retired from the circus and worked for…
Kevin Coughlin Alton Bay, NH I bought my first Toro mower around 1982. I liked it because I could get the tine de-thatcher with it. I still use the mower to this day. It’s been tuned up twice, a few blades, but that’s it. It still starts up right away. It may have seen better days. The deck is getting a bit rough but it still runs like a champ….
Kent Saunders Kansas City, MO I bought my 21″ Toro Super Recycler mower in May of 1994. It still starts on the first pull and I have never had to replace or fix anything on it. On average, I use it twice a week, in addition to mowing my mother-in-law’s yard. I hope when I need to replace it that I can find another one like it.
Ben Phillips Jacksonville, FL I have had this lawnmower for 23 years, and use it every week in Jacksonville, Florida and it runs great! My favorite feature of this lawnmower is the quality. If, and when, it no longer is able to cut, I will for sure buy a new Toro, that’s for sure!
Howard Mason Little Silver, NJ. In 1968 I bought a Toro Whirlwind 21-inch rotary mower for my half-acre lawn. Except for replacing the Spin Start with a pull start several years later, this mower has mowed my lawn for 47 seasons with only routine maintenance. The cast aluminum deck is as good as new. Thank you for such a reliable product.
John Bushey Fair Haven, VT I’ve owned a Toro lawnmower now for five years. It’s a self-propelled front wheel drive with a detachable leaf/grass bag. To this day, there is no priming or choking the mower – pull the handle only once and it will start. I’ve NEVER had a mower in my 56 years of living where this has happened. It’s nice not having to fight with a lawnmower….
Daryl Briten Ashfield, MA I can’t imagine that one little lawn mower can begin to compete with stories about Toro’s heavy farm equipment, but if there was ever “a little lawn mower that could”, then this is the one. Twenty-eight years ago, we bought this small mower to care for our one-acre property in Massachusetts. Just yesterday, we pulled it out of the winter storage shed, pulled the cord, and…
Ernie Cashwell Topping, VA 52 years old and still going…with a bit of TLC. This machine has had a bit of rest, while two new mowers were bought, used and failed. So back to the reliable old Toro. Our son is the same age as the Toro. He said after all of the miles he pushed that mower, he can’t believe it still runs. He named it “The Beast.” Thanks,…
