Toro Recycler 21 in. Rear Wheel Drive - Setup and First Start - Side Discharge Ready? 

The manual is horrible, this saved me. Why only put photos on how to use it lol !!! People can read these days.

An average guy with setup instructions for other averaging guys. Exactly what I need. 10/10 and bonus points for the test run!😅

Love the video. I followed the instructions as provided here and ventured out and cut the grass. It does not get any better than this.

Best unboxing/setup video EVER. No BS... AWESOME - THANK YOU!

Thank you for getting straight to the point from the beginning and throughout to the end. ✌️

I appreciate your help. This is my first time mowing, and this video was extremely helpful. Thanks.

Thank you so much. My husband has dementia and I had never started a lawn mower in my life!

I’ve watched about 10 videos in a row and this is hands down the most helpful. Thank you Sir!

Great video! My grandparents have both passed, and I'm learning how to mow my lawn, so this video was super helpful. Thanks!

Just bought the exact same mower. Honestly was having trouble understanding many things about this mower and watched so many other RU-vidrs talk about this mower but none of them really answered the important questions I had. Your video on this mower was absolutely top-notch and answered all of the questions I had and even some questions that I didn't know I needed to know before using this mower. Absolutely the most thorough walk thru from beginning to end for this thing! Thanks so much!

Very good video just got my new recycler today my other push mower the awd system totally crapped itself after 10 to 12 years and this mower is definitely going to help my business's grow. Also have a 32 inch commercial mower in my fleet

Your the only video on this lawn mower lol thanks for the help

TY! Their illustrations are clumsy at best. Yours are the best.

Lawn looks amazing!

Great tip on side discharge acquisition!

Thanks for the registration discharge tip!

Thank you great breakdown on setting this model up

Excellent video. Thanks… very informative!!

Thanks for the demonstration 💜

Great job. Saved lots of frustration. Thank you

Thank you for telling every to put the full container of oil in the mower this is the one thing I wasn't sure about I only added half now I'll go add all of it before I start it

Excellent video! Thank you!

Great video! Just got my first house and this was really helpful to make sure I was doing the right thing since the instruction set that came with it was hieroglyphics.

Thank you for the instructions!

Excellent video. Thanks.

Thank you for this video!

This video was so useful. It's not like the instructions were impossible but it made me nervous that I'd misunderstand what some symbol meant. Setting up my recycler was easy as pie after this video. Aside from accidentally thinking the engine model and serial number were the mower number, things went great. Just in case anybody makes this same mistake, the correct info in down near the ground on the side, not stickered the side of the engine. The heads-up on the free side attachment was really handy. Mine should be here in 3 to 4 weeks it seems. Apparently, the reason they do it is many people are interested in mulching or bagging only and they didn't want the unused chutes people might get to be laying around somewhere or thrown away.

So helpful, thank you!!

Thanks for very instructional instruction video.

The manual sucks really bad. Thanks for your video, you saved me hours trying to figure out the manual.

Thank you for these simple instructions. The manual is horrible to follow. I cannot wait to go out and get my mower going. So appreciate your help.

Thanks for the video

Hey man, appreciate the video. Ty.

Thank you to infinity for this video

Great video

I just got mine but has high rear wheels. I should of got the 150cc but it was front wheel drive. Not a big deal. I wish they had side discharge but there great mowers. Can't wait to put it to work.

Thank you so much 😊

I also receive a bent handle and contacted Toro, they sent one out immediately and the free side discharge chute. I'm very impressed with Toro .. it all arrived in less than a week. I am disappointed though because now I have to figure out how to adjust the cable for the self propelling since it seems to be too long.

I love this video. The guy is funny

Thank you for making this, the instructions that came with were kinda ridiculous. You made it simple. I just need the electric start version.

Thanks for this. I set up this mower by myself and reading the hieroglyphs wasn't helping at all. Mowed half the yard without the bag wasn't mulching great and I was wondering why there wasn't a side chute.how dumb but I will register! Thanks!

Great video. Mr manual says 15 oz capacity of oil and bottle that comes with is 18 oz ?

Great video. What is the maximum gas capacity for this mower and related runtime?

Thanks alot

Thankss

I had a Troy Bilt Briggs and Stratton engine mower that started leaking gas and has a couple other issues, it lasted us 12 years. I purchased this lawnmower from home depot today and I'm a little disappointed in it. Its very small, I'm not crazy about the rear wheel drive, and I'm seriously thinking of returning it tomorrow.

I’m having issues with the bagger not bagging very well… I think more grass clippings are left on the ground than in the bag… any tips?

When I first got mine the bag sat flush now there is a gap (1-2inch) and grass flies out. Any idea how to fix it ? Lawn mower is only a few months old

Can't get handle bar to stay tight I'm screwing the knobs as tight as I can any suggestions, .Ps Great video

A doomed cuestion, you fuel it with only gas o mix with four strok?

I just wanted to add that it also says when you start the engine, to pull the cord slow until it stops and then give it a quick pull. That way it won’t cause entry to your wrist.

Thank you for this video. Owners manual useless. Thank you!

Great video quality, shot, sound, and instructions. Thank you

It’s an 18 oz oil. Only put 15 oz in.

My handle bar is not stable even after I tighten each side. What can I do?

What is the name of the part that keeps the oil from seeping out trying to find a replacement part

I purchased the Toro mower new, last summer (2022) a few models above this one . I like the Toro features and operation, but I have had nothing but problems with the Briggs & Straton engine. Had to take in to an authorized Toro service center three times for the same problem. The problem is...even with plenty of gas in the tank, after 15 mins of use, the engine stalls out like running out of gas. They have cleaned and adjusted the carb and also replaced the carb and I still have the problem. The service center can't seem to get it right. Each time I brought the mower in, the service center keeps it for 4-8 weeks time. Anyways, I now have someone cut the grass and I only use the mower to maintain several small areas. I would never buy another Toro mower again. At lease not a gas engine one, but may buy their electric mower in a year or two when they have any bugs/issues resolved.

Just bought one of these 2 weeks ago. Ordered the discharge chute on registration. They are on back order and Toro would not tell me when they will be available.

Mine didn't even come with a manual😂. Your video is great but Im having a hard time understanding if the distal end of handle (first holes ) go on the studs sticking out, which are below the screw and wheel cap you are showing. I can't tell in your video.

Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. Obviously who drew the pictures did not know how to write to explain the pictures. I had a warning tag that was around the cap of the gas lid, which says to use gas that does not exceed 10% ethanol, it also says DO NOT mix with oil with gasoline. My question to you, which you did not mention in your video, they say by adding STA-BIL 360 protector I each can of gas is the official fuel additive of all Briggs & Stration engines. I was wondering what your opinion was on that. I have just purchased the same mower and have it put together all except for the oil and the gas. Again, I was wondering what your opinion was about the additive that they mentioned. I would love to hear your feedback about the additive they mentioned. Thanks so much for the video. By watching your video show me that I actually put it together, right! Surprise for an old disabled woman. 😂 thanks again.

Question about the discharge chute how you supposed to receive an email maybe a tracking number for it or does it just arrived I didn't get no email or anything but did register it and requested it

How do you get it so it only discharges into the bag ?

I'm having the same your rannew toro lawn machine recycling 21 we buy on home depot too...buy I don't know why no start

What was the size of the oil n brand? I got this guy too.

I heard you're supposed to run it for 30 mins then change the oil. is that not the case?

Where does it say put all oil in?

Am I crazy or are you DSoundman reviewer for the M Audio Oxygen PRO series? And you are a fellow New Englander as well?

Do I have to use the bag?

nice video. Just be careful with the oil. I think that if you empty the full container of oil the level in the stick will be above the top max.

Could of explained how the rear wheel drive is performed? Will have to look under the frame and see

I recently bought this mower. At the store it said, do not have to change oil. Is that correct? I can just add to oil as needed?

What about the bagger? Never put it on. I sent message to Toro as that bag specifically spews out grass with that big gap. What is the proper set up as I ve tried numerous set ups

on my mower the handles on top wasn't put on, can someone help me with that?

Hi there, did you get your side discharge accessory? Video please.

Just bought this, why are all of the clippings being forced out the front right tire and landing back on to the engine getting inside the crank case/engine/top of the mower. Something seems very wrong here. The grass I am mowing is 5 inches or so. Only cutting at 3.5 inches so I aint cutting jungle grass here. I've tried other heights as well including the front wheels being slightly lower and even slightly higher than the back or front wheels and vice versa. Cutting with the bag or without the bag does not make a difference. Any tips would be helpful. Afraid I may have to return this if there is no quick fix. When I buy something I want it to work right out the box as seen in the video. Very frustrating

Can you slow down the speed of the self propelled

"a little grass flying up through there" at 8:30 - yeah dude, be ready for a lawn salad flying at your face every time you mow the lawn.

What is the flap for

No Personal Pace, No smart--stow. I have a 2007 Toro Super Recycler still running.. After watching all of the new videos for Toro Lawn mowers and new features I am thinking of getting a new one. How come you do not answer comments?

when you pull the cord push in the starting rod wont be hard to pull then

Just bought mine

Hey the wheels on my mower will not stop turning. As soon as i start the mower the wheels just turn. Any ideas? Thanks

Does it take the whole 18oz of motor oil?

Did everything you did and mines still not starting

You showed your serial # on the box

Use non-ethanol / Rec 90 gas

Use Rec fuel 0 ethanol. Unless u want to buy another mower next year !

bought a Toro and the first day after a few minutes of mowing,, I went to restart it and it wouldnt start...... waited until the next it started,, mowed for about 10 minutes and came back few hours later and again it didnt start..... not happy

anybody know how to slow this thing down a bit? nice unit, but, it’s beating me up pretty good.

I only use non ethanol gas - otherwise the carb will gunk up more quickly.

Might take back and get side discharge never did they explain that not cool with

I actually don't think mine came with an air filter maybe I'm looking at the wrong model

The oil level is so confusing. I can't think of a reason why 95% of the capacity above what they point out in the manual is the precise ideal fill line should be empty. I've heard of situations where you want the fumes of something doing the bulk of the work somehow, like in chem lab there are zones of maximum reaction efficiency in an evaporated gas fraction when chromatography columns have both liquid and gas fractions. But oil is just to keep an engine lubricated, right? So it's just over my head. I guess if you're pouring the whole bottle in, I might as well do the same.

Throttle control?

And people keep them mower on the ground

Worst manual I have ever seen. No labeling of what pieces go where , no dialogue just grainy black and white pictures. Thanks for this.

looks like they cheaped out on manufacturing since the wheels are from lawnboy mowers and the cheap plastic looks exactly identical to a lawnboy mower.

Just bought this. It won’t start

Good video but what safety gear, it's just a mower...just don't be stupid.

Just bought this and it's horrible!! I cannot mow without it getting clogged and stalling. My old 10 year old push mower worked better.
