Toro 21" Heavy Duty Self-Propelled Gas Lawn Mower - Zone Start, Kawasaki Commercial Engine

This Heavy Duty walk-behind shares Toro's Zone Start commercial platform, but is built around a Kawasaki FJ180V engine instead of Honda, for shops and crews that standardize on Kawasaki power for their fleet.

Zone Start safety system

Releasing the operator-presence bail shuts the engine off completely rather than just stopping the blade, so restarting is a deliberate pull-cord action each time.

Kawasaki FJ180V commercial engine

A 179cc Kawasaki engine with a sealed, maintenance-free design is built to handle the long duty cycles of a professional mowing route.

3-speed self-propel drive

A rear-wheel-drive transmission offers three ground speeds up to 4.2 mph so operators can match pace to the job.

Built for a route, not a weekend

Commercial 9 in. x 2 in. co-polymer wheels, steel deck wear plates, and cable routing guards are designed to withstand daily commercial use.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the Honda-powered Heavy Duty models?

The deck, drive system, and Zone Start blade control are the same; the difference is the engine - this model runs a Kawasaki FJ180V rather than a Honda GXV160, for shops that prefer to standardize on Kawasaki power.

What fuel and oil does it take?

Use fresh 87-octane or higher gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol, plus the oil grade specified in the Kawasaki engine manual.

What does Zone Start mean?

Releasing the handle shuts the entire engine off rather than just the blade, so you pull-start it again each time you want to resume mowing.

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.
