Toro Mower Still Running Like A Champ

Read More

Kevin Coughlin Alton Bay, NH I bought my first Toro mower around 1982. I liked it because I could get the tine de-thatcher with it. I still use the mower to this day. It’s been tuned up twice, a few blades, but that’s it. It still starts up right away. It may have seen better days. The deck is getting a bit rough but it still runs like a champ….

The Little Lawn Mower That Could

Read More

Daryl Briten Ashfield, MA I can’t imagine that one little lawn mower can begin to compete with stories about Toro’s heavy farm equipment, but if there was ever “a little lawn mower that could”, then this is the one. Twenty-eight years ago, we bought this small mower to care for our one-acre property in Massachusetts. Just yesterday, we pulled it out of the winter storage shed, pulled the cord, and…

Toro “Beast” Outlasts the Others

Ernie Cashwell Topping, VA 52 years old and still going…with a bit of TLC. This machine has had a bit of rest, while two new mowers were bought, used and failed. So back to the reliable old Toro. Our son is the same age as the Toro. He said after all of the miles he pushed that mower, he can’t believe it still runs. He named it “The Beast.” Thanks,…

George Weeks St. Anthony, MN I have a hand me down 1928 Toro Silver Flash that’s in very good condition. It cuts and sounds great. It’s been in the family since new. One minor flaw, however, you have to be Hercules or Atlas to push it. Very heavy!

Toro Testimonial

Bruce Webster Columbia, MD This is a testimonial to the ruggedness, quality, and longevity of Toro residential equipment. I purchased a Toro 21″ HP Rear Bagger lawnmower (Model 20584) in August 1986. I am still using that same lawnmower in 2013, 27 years later! See the pictures to the right which show me pushing this wonderful Toro machine (it is not self-propelled!) at the spry young age of 33 and…

by Joseph Ferrelli III Winston-Salem, NC My name is Joseph Ferrelli, III, and I live in Winston-Salem North Carolina. Today, March 24, 2011, I started the lawn mowing season with the only lawn mower I have ever owned or used. In 1971, my father bought a Toro 21-inch Whirlwind mower for me to cut the grass. I was 10 years old and we were living in Greenville, South Carolina. My…

by Matthew Lawonn Menomonee Falls, WI About seven years ago, my Grandfather and I decided that it was time for a new lawn mower. We both agreed that it would be better for us to go to a dealer, so we can get to know the people behind the name, rather than a “big box store” approach. So, when we walked into the dealership, we knew that we would be…

A Toro Snowthrower 25-Years Young

Read More

by Phil Goldberg Long Grove, IL I wanted to take this occasion to thank you for making an excellent snowthrower that has gotten me through nearly 25 Chicagoland winters and that is still going strong. The only thing that has lasted longer is my wife (thank God), but she isn’t as good in the snow. I’m sure she would want to add her appreciation. I have had to replace a…
