This Toro is a really nice walk behind string mower. The wheels are big and allow you to push over lots of terrains. Setup is easy. The cutting is clean and wide. The Briggs and Stratton engine runs smoothly. I really enjoy this model.

i love mine-use it around the pond
Performs well.
Like a hot knife through butter 👍.
Think I'm gonna get 1.
Like the fact that you can go in ditches, tight spaces, abandoned properties etc.
Been clearing the path to the playground in our park for a year. Still working great.
These string mowers are awesome. I use mine on a half acre with bedrock bumping up here and there. Neither the mower nor string minds bedrock at all.
Thank you so much sir this was very helpful I am ready to go out and use mine👍
Glad it helped ! Mow on.
I have one. They work really good. Cuts my work by 2/3 compared weed Wacker.
Months later, works great still. It is important to get strong string that can take the spinning.
My cord came out of the on off switch do you know how to fix. There are 2 wires
I took two screws off and the wires are attached under a switch that I cannot see. When I have a chance, I will take it apart and record the wires.
Also, I did a search and found Toro Consumer 144-4844 SWITCH-STOP. The replacement part includes the switch and cable... If you search that part number, should find switches that may work that costs $17 to $40. DIY.
Spark restet good in dry grass and dry weeds but remove if it’s green stuff is what I think
You didn't get the teeth on the adjustment proper in their you know that it's kind of difficult it's not easy
Just for you.

I like this machine but have trouble with grass getting wrapped around the hub shaft. Am I not setting the height correctly?
Why type of grass? I have some Texas Red Yucca plants. Whenever I use the regular weed eater or the Toro String mower, the leaves wind around the shaft. This is because the broad leaves do not cut. It takes a hedger to cut those plants. If your grass will cut, it should not wrap. The grass should shred a bit. You might try getting a harder string. I picked a brand up that was triangular in shape and it cuts well.
Just bought this same one but it gets bogged down by the slightest resistance, I'll fumble with the belt tensioner but it's not looking promising.The grass and weeds get all entangled into the bottom rotating shaft and the bolt is welded on there so it cannot be removed. This is a poor design in my opinion. Do you have any input?
Basically it is a large weed whacker. It will cut dry plants well. Are you cutting green branches, stems? I can cut brown / green stems maybe 1/4 " diameter. For some cactus plants that I hit the long green leaves do wrap and I have to stop to remove. Otherwise, mine doesn't bog down. Can you try it in another area?
Same here. Got mine today and most likely taking it back.
I'm thinking of buying one but my old Craftsman gets grass inside the cutter wheel. Does this happen to this model?
If I cut down tall reed grasses, it may wrap around the string hold. I just turn the unit off, and pull them out easily.
@@DrBDIYthanks for the reply. It takes me a while to pull the grass out. I guess I will have to go with the DR Power for twice the cost lol.
@dmacko Ok, so I had to use the trimmer today. I needed to raise the string higher. Then I discovered the grass wrapped around the top of the drum. If that is what you are referring to? If so, my bad, now I see the issue. I used a screwdriver, a needle nose pliers and a grabber. It took me 30 minutes to clean several years of grass. I could not find a manual to take the head apart - will call Toro.
I made a video. ruclips.net/video/f-WCIDRbjms/видео.html
I I just got mine but one of the wires are loose. From your video it appears that one of them is connected to the bolt on the back. Is that correct. The other one is in place.
Are you talking about throttle next to the handles? If so, simple tie wrap works. Or are you talking about where it connects to either end? Edited: I looked and the wires near the engine : 1) one wire connects through white plastic connector to wire coming down from top of engine. 2) the other wire connects to the bolt coming up from the red base and through the engine mount. It must have a circle washer connector on the end to fit over the bolt. On top of that connector is a washer, a star lock washer then the nut. Hope that helps.
My dad has the same Toro model. But, he cannot find a carburetor for it?? He's looking up and down the GOOGLE and nothing. The motor is a Briggs and Stratton 104M020270f1. Do you have the same motor?? Any help is appreciated!
if you have the same motor number, then it is somewhat of a unicorn. ???
I have the same model number 104M020270f1 engine. I did a search and saw this on amz (

@@DrBDIY ... thank you so much!! I'm a woman that literally knows nothing about these machines...and was just trying to help my Dad. He's older and doesn't do the internet stuff. I really appreciate your response.
@@DrBDIY ... looking at the carburetor on amz, it is plastic. My Dad said his looks metal with 2 screws holding the bowl. Hmmm?? I don't know... ??
Is yours plastic carb?? Or metal with 2 screws holding bowl?
Hi. I contacted a local repair show for Toro / Briggs and Stratton. I asked the lady to look up the Toro 58620 mower trimmer Briggs and Stratton engine carburetor. She gave me part number 594058 and said it would cost about $50 to order.
That part number is sold out here:
shop.briggsandstratton.com/products/briggs-and-stratton-594058-carburetor
It looks like pressed or formed metal, unsure.
You can search online for briggs and stratton 594058 carburetor and you will get hits. I suggest you get one with a lot of purchases and high reviews, and one that you can return. Also, keep your old parts. Sometimes the replacement part doesn't included every attached part you might think. I hope this helps!
Will this cut through thorny vines and tangled over growth? I know it will do tall grass.
I have cut many stems 1/4" in diameter from bushes, flowers, etc.
I just finished my first ditch and within 30 minutes the belt was slipping after hitting vines. I took it back to tractor supply after owning for about 3 hours. Tall grass maybe, vines NOOO
I use mine on those prickly vines that are the diameter of my fingers. It cuts down woody saplings so long as they aren't too fat.
@@albencrouch Did you try adjusting the belt? It stretches a bit at first but just needs an adjustment.
@@jamesmziegler I'm sure that's probably all it needed but was so disappointed I would have to work on it within the first 30 minutes, I just returned it to Tractor Supply.
Wont start ?
Hmmm. Set the engine on/off switch to the ON position. Pull the recoil-start handle. Should start right up. You did okay with gas, oil and spark plug?
I had one like this but very difficult to use when we put to go because only 2 weel.
The Toro trimmer is made for trimming weeds and shrubs. It is not a level lawn mower. It is a "mower model" in the sense you push it rather than support it with arms and shouders.
Great review...is that a brake switch to disengage the engine on the upper handle?
Not really a break. The big handle engages / disengages the string spinner. The little button turns the engine on / off.
Oh, so you can disengage the spinner spindle, clear some debris, etc. without having to restart the engine before continuing?
@bobbyh.7522 it's possible, but I wouldn't. Just as easy to turn off, clear, and one pull start.
How does this work on honeysuckle vines and blackberry bushes?
Never tried the trimmer on those bushes. I did try it on primrose jasmine, johnson grass, lantana, oak tree seedlings and other similar plants up to about 1/4 inch in diameter, plus or minus some. The trimmer worked great.
If it's woody and bigger in diameter than your pinky, then maybe it won't. But I've done pokeberries 6 feet high that were far bigger than my thumb, (they aren't woody).
I have a Craftsman 159cc push trimmer very similar to the Toro and it totally obliterates blackberry bushes.
I'd ease into the honeysuckle vines. If none of them have gotten thick, it should be able to cut through them. Mine does the thorny vines up to a half inch or more. It won't do saplings that diameter, though. Best to ease into them and see what happens.
Can this be used to mow a regular home lawn or is it for big brushes?
Usually, a lawn mower has four wheels keeping the blade level. Also lawnmowers chop the grass into small pieces. The Toro String mower is on two wheels and glides on the front, so it is almost level. But, like a weed eater, the string trimmers usually cut instead of chop. I did find that the Toro trimmer did a lot of chopping, but not as evenly sized as a lawn mower. There is also no way to bag a string trimmer cuttings. So, for golf course style mowing, use a lawnmower. If you are okay with something rougher or your cutting area is small, the string trimmer is fine. I used the string trimmer on wild yard areas and it worked fine.
not even cut for grass, only good for tall grass.
I added a front wheel for when I need it to mow the same level on yard
Bought won used it took it back doesn’t cut very well grass maybe but tougher weeds with some growth Forget about it
This is a weed eater on wheels. It will mow cut everything but not chop like a bladed lawn mower. So what is cut with the string mower will look irregular and not smooth.
I whacked down 6 foot pokeberries with mine. Tall, thick weeds have never been a problem, either. Just use a good commercial line and find your pace. It should be able to clear any weeds -- easily.
How is this on hills?
Like a lawnmower. Be careful. It's probably better up and down instead of sideways.
@@DrBDIY Well my half acre backyard is on a hill so I was curious if this would work.
@banj36 I whack the local park entrance path in the video. The slope is probably 15 degrees. It was okay in up and across.
Should always work clockwise. Not chopping stuff you already cut .
Thanks. Next time.
