Toro is an American company which makes all manner of equipment for maintaining large areas of land like parks and golf courses.
But luckily for the home owner, they also make excellent mowers and this is one of their more popular ones, the Toro 20955 Petrol Recycler Lawn Mower (ADS).
Really solid: Toro 20955 recycler mower
This mower has a great advantage for people who want occasionally to mulch the clippings – when they are cut down to fine particles and left to break down on the lawn.
With most mowers which offer the facility, it is necessary to fit a mulch plug so the clippings are contained in the deck for finer cutting.
But with this mower all that is necessary is flicking a lever. The mower can also discharge to the side, a useful attribute when cutting longer grass in less formal areas.
A Briggs & Stratton 190cc engine provides the power and this is very easy to start.
The cutting blade is thin and very sharp to give the lawn a neat finish – cutting heights are from 25mm to 102mm.
Another great feature of this machine is that it automatically matches your walking speed – up to 4mph.
If you want to collect the clippings this mower has a very large grass box which holds 74 litres.
It costs £419, £110 less than the maker’s recommended price, has a two-year warranty and it is inspected before delivery.
That delivery is free, next working day and the mower arrives with a free bottle of engine oil. There is also a free ten litre Jerry Can worth £24.95.
