I was wondering if this mower is good for residential use or should I advoid it as I see it is discontinued. Were there problems with it?

Thank you Rivets. I posted this in the wrong place, under Troybilt and should have been under Toro, but you still answered it. I wish I could move it but don't know how.

Is this a good mower for residential? I see it is discontinued and was wondering if there were problems with the model?

What I was looking for was the tight turning radius. I think they had it listed at 5 or 6 inches. I've not seen that on other lawn tractors. I really want a 30 inch but what I see all have a bigger turning radius. I tried one of those older snappers but when I tried to make sharp turns with...

I have a small yard with things to mow around. I noticed this Craftsman T2200 and see that it has the tight turn radius and thought something like that just might work. Is it reasonable to think of getting 400 to 500 hours of service out of one of these without very much repair other than...

I wish they made a synthetic sae 30w also.

Oh well sgkent, but I still do appreciate all the comments and opinions. It has been quite interesting to me and gave me more ways to consider what to use and when. Thanks to all who responded.

Well, not to beat a dead horse, but my thinking on the synthetic oil was that I heard that synthetic takes the heat better and that it holds up better than regular oil. So I was thinking to get longer life out of the mower, then use synthetic. I see maybe I have been over thinking this? Thank...

I guess I am failing on at least one item and that is changing the oil at the end of the season. It does make sense to take out the dirty oil and put in fresh oil to store over the winter. I do believe it is very important to change the oil out with the seasons. I will keep that in mind this...

The thing I am really wanting to figure out is the zinc additive. Supposedly the Toro brand oil has more zinc added. Now I know Toro doesn't make oil and they just put their label on someone elses oil, but I don't know which one it is they use or again, is it just hype to get you to buy their...

My neighbor and I were talking about lawn mowers. We both have Toro Recyclers and I said I was going to have to tune up and change oil. I said I was going to put in 10-30 synthetic oil. He said you should use Toro's oil because it has added zinc for better wear on engine components. I was...

Ok, so I had some zip ties laying around and decided to try one. There is a very fine point for running and not running for the bail, but I got it pretty close. Sometimes when I slide the zip tie to the side it keeps running. Just a very light push to the bail and it shut off. Thanks slomo...

I have a toro personal pace lawn mower. Earlier I had a toro super recycler that I had a shoestring tied around the handle bar and the lever that drives the lawn mower or shut it off if the lever released too far. I had the shoe string tied so that I could let loose of the handle bar and lever...

Yes, now wouldn't that be quite a plan. Not sure about the personal pace system, but I suppose there is a learning cure with it and with time it will be old hat. Thanks Rivets and happy mowing to you.

I was told it was purchased in June of 2019 and was not used at all last year. But wasn't sure of all that, but must be close by your estimate. Thanks

Model #20384 serial #405376248

Ok Rivets, I did pick up a used Toro Super Recycler model 20384 that supposedly was not used a lot. I am 75 years old now so am figuring that this will be my last walk behind mower and that I will probably give up before it does. Does that sound about right? Not sure what the difference is...

Looking for a chart that tells the manufacture date for Toro Super Recycler by its serial number. I have looked but am having trouble locating a site to look this up.

I have been looking at the Toro Super Recycler and see that they have they have two engines offered. The Toro engine I believe is made in China which does not give me much comfort in their ability to build a reliable product with their lack of quality control that I have seen in stuff coming...

I am still searching and kicking tires for a good reliable mower. I ran into a guy that has some of these jd 212's. I guess these machines did not come with an hour meter so it is a little difficult for me to tell how many hours are one them. So what are the things to look for if you would...

All the mowers I have had in the past have not had timed blades. I am considering a ltx 1042 1046 a littl bit. But I found out that these are timed blades. Is this a big problem? Have any of you had experience with these type of timed mower deck blades? Appreciate your thoughts.

I am new to this forum, so this is my first post. Please forgive me as I am sure that some of what I am going to ask has already been gone over before, but I did go back through a few pages of posts in search of my questions. So here goes: 1. I have a small yard, 75x100. Most of the time I...
