Q: how to get side discharge chute

12 days ago
2 Answers
  • A: Hi, there! Thanks for your question. This model #21311, can mulch, bag and side discharge. The discharge chute is attached at the rear, where the bag is attached. In order to avoid waste and help the environment, a side discharge chute is not included in the carton for this model (since most customers prefer to mulch or bag their grass clippings). If you do want to use a side discharge chute for your clippings in the future, you will be offered the opportunity to have one sent to you, at no additional charge, when you register your mower with Toro at www.Toro.com/register. Thanks!

Q: How much oil does it take

2 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, Mimi! Thanks for your question. This model #21311, has engine oil capacity of 0.44 L (15 fl oz). Carefully pour about 3/4 of the engine capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube. Wait 3 minutes for the oil to settle in the engine. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth. 9. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, screw it in, then remove the dipstick. Read the oil level on the dipstick — If the oil level on the dipstick is too low, carefully pour a small amount of oil into the oil-fill tube, wait 3 minutes, and repeat those steps until the oil level on the dipstick is correct. If the oil level on the dipstick is too high, drain the excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick is correct. If the oil level in the engine is too low or too high and you run the engine, you may damage the engine. You can view more information on pages 17-18 of the manual at: https://www.toro.com/getpub/259065. Thanks!

Just what the job needed

a month ago
I got this small push mower to be able to get to places i cant reach with the 30" turf master. I can easily lift over flowerbeds to get to spots to mow. Its very light and easy to maneuver on hills. Its just the machine i needed for the job i needed it to do. The cut like all toro machines i have is the best and thats why i use them. Starts right up every time i use it and i find changing the oil very easy with a small pump you put on a qt bottle. I haven't used it to mulch yet but i will and it will function as desired im sure. Thank you for the awesome products, toro always delivers.

Yes, I recommend this product.

We are sorry to learn of the difficulties you have experienced. Please note that a loose or dropping lever is often caused by an unseated spring tension tab or an unaligned tracking notch on the wheel bracket assembly.

Impressed after first day of use

a month ago
The Toro Recycler is a good mower. Not sure why there are some negative reviews. I mowed over grass that was grown over 3 weeks on the 2nd to lowest notch and the mower never bogged down and barely left any clumps. Make sure when you adjust the deck height you pay attention if the deck is going lower or higher. You pull the rear wheel lever towards the back to lower and the front wheel lever you push to the front to lower. I currently use a craftsman m110, a Troy Bilt TB160, and now this Toro and the Toro seems to out perform the other mowers and the handle design is way more durable. I have not used the bagger to comment on how it works but when I use it I will right another review.

Mower appears to perform as expected. It was purchased to replace a fourteen year old mower. Not pleased with the unexpected cost for the so called "Free Side discharge" unit, which once received all the charges paid were more than the unit cost. It's a lawnmower, it cuts grass!

Not great at the bare minimum

2 months ago
Not super impressed. It absolutely will not mulch as is. Thankfully when I registered the mower, they sent the discharge chute. That made it much more tolerable to mow with. The deck paint was not of any decent quality. 2 mows in and nearly all the paint under the deck has peeled off. It’s going to be hard to keep it from rusting quickly unless I repaint it. I do not leave grass in there either. I spray it out with the hose after every use.

We are sorry to hear about the poor bagging suction and lawn streaking. Please ensure the rear grass bag is completely clean, as trapped dust blocks airflow. For further help, find an independent Authorized Service Dealer at toro.com/locator, or chat with us at toro.com/chat.

Nice for what I do with it. I just trim around the house and garage so I don’t have to get so close with the zero turn. Pushes easy. Starts first pull as stated. I took the bag off for what little I use it for. It’s a push mower, does as intended.

Good mower

2 months ago
Overall a great mower. Cuts well and even cuts tall grass well. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bagging system is a little cheep. The bag is flimsy and doesn't hold much. It also doesn't seal to the mower well and leaks grass clippings in spots.

Nice mower, but fails at taller grass

3 months ago
Purchased this to replace a older, dying craftsman mower. First time using it, the mowing was great. I generally have shorter grass in Texas, so it not an issue. However, during our rainy season, the grass will choke out the mower. Ankle high grass or taller is a death nail. Since this does not have a discharge on it, the mulching just builds up, binds, and stops the mower. I did bag the yard once, but after 14 bags in only a quarter of my back yard, it was too much. Would like to have a rear discharge chute for this model, would make it easier. When the grass isn't too much, this mower to great, but when you have to deal with more than a few inches deep, its not going to make it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

We truly appreciate the time you took to share your feedback. Your experience is important to us, and we want to ensure your mower performs as intended. For optimal results, please avoid mowing wet grass, as this can cause clumping, clogging, or even engine stalling. It is also recommended to cut no more than one‑third of the grass blade at a time. For additional maintenance guidance, please review the operator’s manual at Toro.com/manuals. Note that a discharge chute is not included with your mower, since many customers prefer bagging or mulching. However, you may request a free discharge chute during the registration process. If you need assistance obtaining one, our customer support team is available at Toro.com/chat.

Decent mower but could be better.

Having to completely remove and reinstall the carriage bolts and knobs to fold/unfold the handle is beyond annoying. Definitely a step backwards in production design for Toro. Otherwise it's a decent mower.
