Probably the best Mower comparison I’ve seen so far! Love the no bs and non biased comparison. Hit on allot of topics I wouldn’t have even considered. I am a Honda man personally but have always wanted to lash out and give the toro a go.

Thanks mate! They certainly are different machines. I think I prefer the Honda overall too.

Here in the United States Honda is stopping their mower production. Toro has dominated the mower market. The toro commercial is hands down the best mower out there, I’ve owned both the Honda commercial and toro and I love the toro. The Honda commercial mower is a different model here in the States, it’s called the HRC216, much more heavy duty then the Honda your demonstrating.

Thanks for taking the time mate glad I watched - cant believe it cant go up stairs?! Insanity. A bunch of lawn mower contractors need to get together and design a mower with one of these companies. Really wanted to look at this machine because mulching is important to me but not being able to access stairs is a deal breaker.

great job on the comparisons! Unfortunately Honda now is not making gas mowers starting this coming year 2024, so my choices just decreased drastically. Have to go with the Toro

For the bald wheels I add BMX tread. Screws and glue. Sounds rough but gives so much better traction and mine's lasted going on 6 years now on an old Rover with a good SP. An if it ever wears out a new tyre to cut up is a few bucks.

Great review. My honda does have an inline fuel cutout just under the carby/air filter setup. I have found that if I am moving or not using it for a day then turning off the fuel line and running it out of petrol means a single pull start next time.

Some of the positives for the Toro aren't actually true, like the larger air opening being more useful. The Honda does have a fuel line isolater, like all Hondas do, even the domestic engines, or Honda engines on vacuums, generators etc. I've had both of these and the toro is less reliable, less efficient on fuel, heavier, bulkier and more costly to buy up front and maintain. The Honda is assembled in Australia, I like knowing I'm supporting those people assembling etc. in my country.

For steps I got a little 16in domestic mower. Sometimes people have lots of steps and a tiny patch of grass it really doesn't call for a commercial mower.

Thanks for the great video. Have you ever tried a high lift blade for the Toro? That might help with the bagging issues you described:

iv tried both and i agree the power feels the same and honda is always easier to start. the toro is heavier than honda and it does mulch bit better than honda, honda's wheel goes bold too easy same as you experienced. honda has easy one step height adjustement which is big pro for me . also in NZ that toro priced rediculous $3200 vs honda $2100. overall i much prefer honda 216.

HELP. (Question for anyone). I love my old Toro AWD (all wheel drive) mower with BTAH (blue traction assist handle) but the new Toro AWD mowers (21472) have baby carriage handle without BTAH. How do I add BTAH. Thank you. Toro's BTAH (Blue Traction Assist Handle) converts Toro's PPM (Personal Pace Mowers) (which requires a person to push Toro's heavy mower forward before the self-propelled drive kicks in) to ((easily without effort) controlling Toro's self-propelled drive with just your fingers and hands without moving forward). This is needed on steep hills where you need the AWD Toro mower to pull you and this powerful AWD mower up the hill without any effort on your part. The powerful Toro AWD mower can do this only with BTAH and not by Toro's PPM (extra exercise mode). Without BTAH you end up pushing this heavy Toro mower up the hill even with AWD. It is a shame that Toro has gone (woke not work) with this useless new Toro curved baby carriage handle. IMO. Thank you for your help and understanding this Toro (back breaking) mower issue.

Does the genuine honda not have a fuel cutoff below the air filter? little leaver - back towards the engine is on. also interested to know what that black plastic looking bump under the front of toros deck is ment to do?
@greenslawngarden7809

Yes the Honda has a cut off. I was informed of that recently 😂. The bump is to aid mulching, which is probably another reason why it doesn’t tend to bag as well as the Honda.

Hi, I had a question about the toro commercial mower. I see everyone seems to be buying the kawi engine for it. Looking at buying one of the toros with the honda engine. Are they just as good and reliable as the kawi? I have a couple honda atvs and a little wonder blower with the honda in them. they seem to work well so far. Plus i like the idea the throttle cable and pull cord is up on the handle bar for the honda as well. What im asking are they just as good as the kawi for mowing residential? I cant find anything on you tube with the honda engine im wondering if there buying the kawi because its a little bit cheaper in price to?
