Toro 22 Inch Recycler Max Gas Push Lawn Mower with SmartStow

Description

Cut your yard without fuel stops using the Toro 22 Inch Recycler 21486, built with a Briggs & Stratton 140cc engine that produces 6.25 ft-lbs gross torque. A 22in steel chamber lifts grass for fine mulching, though pushing this 68 lbs gas mower manually demands steady leg muscle across rough ground.

Toro forms the cutting deck from 14-gauge cold-rolled carbon steel, finished in baked enamel paint to fight moisture corrosion. The Briggs & Stratton 140cc overhead valve gas engine runs at 2,800 RPM while burning standard 87 octane unleaded gasoline. The dry mower weighs 68.2 lbs, requiring a floor stance of 58in long by 23in wide.

Worksite Ergonomics Maintenance Steps

The push handle features rubber isolation grips that reduce hand vibration, though rolling the machine requires 12 lbs of continuous forward push force. Do not buy this manual gas push mower for steep ditch banks or commercial landscape fleet contracts exceeding 2 acres. Change the SAE 30 engine oil after every 50 running hours or each season. Clean or replace the oiled foam engine air filter every 25 mowing hours. Inspect and sharpen the steel Recycler blade every 30 hours of cutting operations.
