I’m 84 and have no problem whatsoever with my new Max. I avoid the problems you describe by mowing only when dry and keeping up with the spring growth. This baby runs strong and should satisfy most homeowners.

I'm a happy owner, I think the Toro Max Recycler runs very good. My little demo had near flawless results. Wet/damp grass will bog typically all push mowers down as I point out in the video.

This video was really helpful! I’ve mowed a lawn 3x in my 35 years 😂 but my dad bought me a riding Deere and a toro super max mulcher etc etc lol and mine kept bogging down today, left clumps, lines not clean. Now I know it was too damp! Next time I’ll get the Deere out!

You can also raise the deck up 2 more inches and that would help. Pretty much anything with a deck and a blade spinning underneath or blades is going to bog down/slow down when you start getting into specific tougher mowing conditions. A 10 hp engine on a small push mower could help power through some bogging/slowing down but then it's heavier to push around and its still going to leave negative results behind because wet/damp things stick together. On a push mower, much easier to turn on its side and reach down and clear out. With a dirty underneath side, additional grass is much more likely and quickly to build back up then starting out with a clean underside. Bagging most the time is better than so-called this mulching movement. Mulching is always better for maintaining a lawn with regular routine cutting. Bagger is great and best results but then you got to stop and bag every 4-5 min. Rear chute dispense the quickest and easiest but not as a clean and finished result.

Mulching sucks when wet.. I always wait when grass is completely dry

I am not pro mulching but the mower industry has forced it on people. I'm not necessarily a bag mower either but if I had a super nice lawn I'd always bag. For me and my sh_t yard, I'm just a spray it and walk on it and carry on with life. I do like clear sidewalks so that's why I have a blower.

@leonardomigot4040 my 13 year old Lawnboy has the plastic carb Briggs Stratton and it's fine. The plastic carbs work as hood as old but can clog easier. As long as don't leave old gas sitting and keep fuel filtered from garbage, platic cheaper made carbs are fine.

Hey, freshly mowed it looks good. Downside of a weed lawn is it transforms fast to over-grown. That saying "grows like a weed" is real. With a bunch of rain, I have to mow about every 4-5 days. It will get out of hand fast.

I've had the same lawnmower for almost 15 years. It's in it's last leg now, I don't even know what to look for, all the ones I've looked at people commission they don't last more than 3 years

Yea, it's a rough scene now. Stuff not built to last but push to replace more often. I haven't had my Max recycler long term so I can't stand behind it as far as longevity but I am anticipating it lasting 12-15 years. My old Lawnboy was a cheap mower under $300 2012, plastic carb Briggs Stratton engine, and I've made it last with not a lot of effort. Still 13 years later it can start on 1st pull. Just run good gas, don't let gas become stale in the mower and provide fuel without small particles in the fuel which get into the fuel at the gas station or by us the end user. Why I put on a secondary 75 micron fuel filter. Just means less likely to have to remove carb and clean out. Only thing keep eye on when gets dirty and wear out: plug, airfiter, and 7-10yr rwd belt and sharpen bad/ renew edge.

I looked at the Toro super recycler mowers, they were nice but after looking at the Honda models, went with the Honda HRX217 mower instead. Just so much more quality. Sorry Toro but couldn't pass up on the Honda.

Thanks for sharing. Hope you made sure the box had the red sticker on it or your motor serial number has the metal stamp mark signifying it had the cam shaft fix done. Seems like all the movers out there to be sold should have had the recall repair done but sounds like there are plenty forsale without the recall done. I recently watch a video on this subject.

I believe you tip the mower on the other side, carb high side.
@GettingthruLife

When you tip this mower onto its side and my other mower, it should be done so the airfilter side is up/oil fill side going towards the ground. -Doing the tipping process for a short amount of time this way will do nothing negative. Every time I tipped my mover in this video, it was to the right side/oil fill side. Toro also has some cool feature built/designed into Smartstow movers that tipping it back 90 degrees with a full tank doesn't flood it. Also note when tipping an older mower, likely a good idea to pull on the pull start cord until the piston reaches near top dead center. This way the valves are closed. Over an extended amount of time, and I mean a week on its side, small amount of oil could slip past rings and send oil into the exhaust otherwise. Would take a long time but per-say could happen.
