There's a serious lack of reviews for this mower out here. I've had mine for a full season now. This is a breakdown of how it competes with the Toro Greensmaster 1600.

Connor Ward Thank you! Truth be told, the cut on the lawn behind me when I’m wrapping things up at the end of the vid - was with the 1600.

Excellent review. Have had the same Prostripe for years and love it. You really need to concentrate and get the double stripe down. Looks way better in my humble opinion.

A reel mower will mean mowing 2-3 times a week and you may even need to mow with a rotary first too to ensure you’re not slicing up large sticks etc. It’s a hell of a lot of mowing... The advantage of the rear reel rotary is that you can mow weekly and punch out stripes too. Your lawn won’t look at good as what it would with a good cylinder mower but it will get within 70% which is impressive mowing weekly. I have a lot of grass and while I do enjoy it I enjoy all my other hobbies too so I don’t want to sink 3-4 times more time (incl higher maintenance of cylinder mowers too) to chase the remaining 30%. I’d rather be spending my time on my gardens which are actually producing something unlike my lawn which just takes. Another advantage for me is that I actually prefer my grass longer too as it feels better under foot. Win/win.

awesome review!!!!! will be using it on bermuda as my yard is not level. I eventually will be going back to a reel mower but life is busy and i need speed mowing the yard. I will most likely be getting the new model for next mowing season. The Prostripe was redesigned...and added three speed adjustment...only can get it from a golf course dealer as well.

Daryl Yeah, I had to order this directly from Toro. They had to ship it from the US as there wasn’t a single machine in Canada. Guess the ‘Pro and Residential’ models was actually ‘Old and New’ models.

@ Daryl. Did you ever get it for your Bermuda ? I'm looking into maybe trying this on my Bermuda. Did you get a lot cleaner cut than a standard rotary? like I use a Honda hrx217 and I get those circles scalp marks from time to time. I think that's because it's rolling on four wheels and one wheel drops lower. this is really rollling on three wheels?

Beginning was funny. That mower reminds me of a ferrari testarossa. I know what you mean about the clippings. What has worked good for me is doing a hybrid. I bag only near the house (and pool in your case) but mulch once I am 20 foot or so away. The bagged area becomes a shoe scrub and clipping stay out. That said, it looks like you will struggle with mulching due to the amount being cut at one time since you can only cut on the weekend.

Like the review. The engine is different but it is pretty much a Hayter. Put it next to one and you'll be looking hard for the differences. The bag on one fits the other. The small gas tank is a Hayter feature, an English garden legacy (smaller gardens)-I fill mine once every four or five cuts. I have the Hayter 56 but will probably replace it with the Toro when the time comes. It's eighteen years old. Truth is you need both rotary and reel. The reel mowers don't cut some stuff and don't pick up blossom and leaf litter nearly as well. Only a reel mower gives you the finish, though. The English mower I would have if I were you would be a Countax Ride-on. The contra-rotating brush unit picks everything up and leaves perfect stripes behind. It's range of powered add-ons is unbeatable too. You'll see one in every UK cricket club. They last so you can buy used.

I have a couple of questions. what is the width of the cut? 22 inch like the Toro super cyclers?? Also what is the price on these? So these are self-propelled ? I'm assuming that those two back rollers spin when you're going uphill?
