Rob Leiser Nazareth, PA My father started his business as a Toro Dealer in 1948. My earliest recollection of Toro was assembling new mowers in the early 1960’s. Some of the mowers I assembled would include the 50th anniversary’s Golden Whirlwind. My father’s all-time favorite mower was the 76″ Toro Professional. Until his passing in 2006, my Father used the 76″ Professional for his home lawn. I still own his…
Bruce Webster Columbia, MD This is a testimonial to the ruggedness, quality, and longevity of Toro residential equipment. I purchased a Toro 21″ HP Rear Bagger lawnmower (Model 20584) in August 1986. I am still using that same lawnmower in 2013, 27 years later! See the pictures to the right which show me pushing this wonderful Toro machine (it is not self-propelled!) at the spry young age of 33 and…
Jeff Rausch Marengo, Illinois Jeff Rausch has been running his own landscaping company, Daybreaker Lawn Care, for a year now. The company began steadily gaining accounts because of his perseverance to succeed in this slowly upturning economy. “When I was a kid, I always enjoyed lawn mowing anyways. And then recently, due to the economy primarily needed to do something else. So I decided to get into landscaping just because…
Harley Manke Owatonna, MN Harley Manke, proprietor of Manke’s Outdoor Equipment and Appliances, recently turned 70, and his wife, friends, and family threw him a surprise birthday he will not soon forget!

Jesse Jones USA Jesse Jones had never owned a Toro before. When his mower unexpectedly died this summer, he went to J&K Snowmobiles in Estherville, Iowa to find a new one. Although he was initially “drawn in by her pure beauty,” he couldn’t believe all of the high-performance options the Toro Titan MX5400 offered. Jones is a fun loving guy who appreciates appearance, but also wants a mower that can…
Joan Gales Corinth TX After months of daily entries in Outdoor Channel’s Spring Fever Giveaway, Joan Gales received a telephone call informing her that she had won a Toro® TITAN ZX4820. This mower has a 48″ heavy duty fabricated cutting deck, and a 22 hp Kawasaki engine; Joan seemed just as excited about our product as we are! Joan, we hope you enjoy your TITAN for many years to come….
by Joseph Ferrelli III Winston-Salem, NC My name is Joseph Ferrelli, III, and I live in Winston-Salem North Carolina. Today, March 24, 2011, I started the lawn mowing season with the only lawn mower I have ever owned or used. In 1971, my father bought a Toro 21-inch Whirlwind mower for me to cut the grass. I was 10 years old and we were living in Greenville, South Carolina. My…
by Matthew Lawonn Menomonee Falls, WI About seven years ago, my Grandfather and I decided that it was time for a new lawn mower. We both agreed that it would be better for us to go to a dealer, so we can get to know the people behind the name, rather than a “big box store” approach. So, when we walked into the dealership, we knew that we would be…
Paul USA I didn’t buy my first Toro. I was 12 or 13 at the time and my Dad had been using a reel-type mower from the late 40’s or early 50’s. In the early 60’s he decided (since I was grass cutting age and the reel mower weighed a ton and I could not use it safely) it was time for a new mower. We went to the hardware…
by Phil Goldberg Long Grove, IL I wanted to take this occasion to thank you for making an excellent snowthrower that has gotten me through nearly 25 Chicagoland winters and that is still going strong. The only thing that has lasted longer is my wife (thank God), but she isn’t as good in the snow. I’m sure she would want to add her appreciation. I have had to replace a…
