Change. You can always count on it. I thought it was time to change things up a bit around here with my mower of choice for the front yard.

Just got a brand new Toro Recycler Smart Stow with the Personal Pace. I absolutely love it, seems to leave a few straglers when I cut so I am overlapping my cuts now by a few inches. Seems to fix the issue, just about too head out and mow the lawn now, have a great sunday 😊

I did the same exact thing about 2 months ago with the same exact mower. I got the Big League Striping kit and it works great but you can no longer use the stowaway option. I don’t know why, but when I pull back the handle on my Super Recycler sometimes it won’t go in reverse. I push it forward a little bit and try again, sometimes it works sometimes it don’t. A little upsetting for a new mower.

I would think your wife would be saying;" You mean to tell me you spent all that money on a greens mower and now you're not going to use it?" * I will never go back to using a rotary mower for my front again. As soon as I bought my reel mower, immediately my grass took off to the next level. It's way too hard to keep a rotary blade sharp. A rotary wacks the grass and the sharpness soon starts to dull just a bit leaving a light brownish tinge across your lawn from the tips being frayed. Grass looses water moisture when that happens and increases disease pressure with the frayed tips. * I love my reel mower and will always use it because of the difference. Oh, and one more thing, I agree the down side is no suction, but I mow up and then back, and then cross mow( a triple cut) and that gives me a very clean cut. It helps that I only have 1500 Sq. Ft. * Just wanted to share my ideas. I hope it continues to work out good for you. You must have a flat lawn. I never spread sand to level my lawn but I mow at an inch to 1 1/8" so it's really not an issue. I used to scalp in areas with the rotary though. But never with my reel. Take care jim

I would think reel mowing is for less than an inch cut. I think my Atlas lowest setting is 1 1/8". So I cut at that for my front, 2" for my backyard.

How often are you having to sharpen the mower blade on the 60v Super Recycler? When I had it I was having to sharpen it every 3rd mow. I recently sold that mower and I'm trying out the Milwaukee m18 battery mower. I mostly use my 30in timemaster.

@pczapp827 11 ай бұрын
I sharpen my timemaster after 3 mows of 5,000' I think it could go 5 times if your not picking up sand & dust, but it is less to take off if you sharpen more often. My 21" snapper can only go 2 times & it is really dull compared to the toro 30". The shorter toro blades are much easier to handle & sharpen. I use a file,time consuming but works well.

Cutting at an inch? In certain arras that would destroy you grass. Interesting that i get calls from people with battery mowers that they just died and they cant mow because it died only after 2 or three years. On another note i tried a miluwakee battery powered back pack sprayer. It last 5 minutes on a full 24 hour charge. Took it back and now i have gas powered one. Just saying.

I think these robot lawn mowers are for lazy people. I can see owning one if I traveled a lot or for elderly people. I bought my parents one that cost me $3400 and my dad made me take it back because it was for lazy people, At 78 years old he still cut his own lawn. He said if I die behind the mower let it be. He still refuses to let me or my brother cut his lawn. I still send someone over to my parents' home to clean their home. My dad cannot say anything to the women because I hired someone who doesn't speak english.😁
