Toro 21" Heavy Duty Self-Propelled Gas Lawn Mower - BBC Start, Honda Commercial Engine

Built for lawn care professionals and serious homeowners who need a mower that keeps running day after day, the Toro 21 in. Heavy Duty Self-Propelled walk-behind pairs a commercial-grade Honda GXV160 engine with Toro's Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) system, letting operators step away from a running mower without a full shutdown.

Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) convenience

Release the control bail and the blade stops spinning while the Honda engine keeps idling, so you can clear a stick or move a hose without restarting the mower each time; the trade-off is a small amount of power compared to a continuously engaged blade.

Commercial-grade Honda GXV160 engine

A 160cc Honda engine with a heavy-duty air cleaner is sized for the long, repetitive duty cycles of a daily mowing route rather than occasional weekend use.

3-speed self-propel drive

A sealed, maintenance-free rear-wheel-drive transmission offers three ground speeds up to 4.2 mph so you can match pace to the job at hand.

Rugged die-cast deck

The 21 in. die-cast aluminum alloy deck resists the dents and cracks that stamped-steel decks tend to pick up on a busy route.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between BBC Start and Zone Start?

BBC (Blade Brake Clutch) lets the engine keep running while the blade stops when you release the bail, so you can walk away and come right back without restarting; Zone Start instead shuts the whole engine off the moment you let go, and you hold a lever to restart it. This model uses BBC.

What fuel and oil does it take?

Use fresh 87-octane or higher gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol, plus SAE 30 4-cycle engine oil per the operator's manual; the 1-gallon tank is sized for a full route.

Is this a residential or commercial mower?

It is built to commercial duty standards with a Honda engine and heavy-duty air filtration, so it holds up to daily professional use as well as large residential properties.

What is in the box

The mower ships with its Recycler cutting deck and rear bagging system attached, plus the owner's and operator's manual.
