I bought this Toro Super Recycler 21386 for just $125 on Facebook Marketplace—but after repairs, maintenance, a new engine and other parts, what did this used lawn mower REALLY cost me?
In this Toro Super Recycler review, we're breaking down the total cost, performance, problems, repairs, features and whether this used Toro mower was actually worth buying.
After an entire season of bringing this 6-year-old Toro Super Recycler back to life, it's time for the big finale. I'll show you everything I like about this mower, everything that grinds my gears, how well it cuts, and exactly where the money went—from the OEM carburetor and drive belt to the aluminum deck restoration and engine swap. Then we'll compare the final $433 investment to other used Toro, Honda and commercial-grade mowers I found locally and answer the big question: Did I actually get a deal?
This is the season finale of Making My Mower Not Suck, and we're finally finding out whether this $125 Facebook Marketplace Toro Super Recycler was a bargain—or a money pit. LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!!!
