Toro Garden Tractor Review Summary

Gardeners and others might like the Toro Garden Tractor, a small riding mower designed for smaller lawns. Reviewers feel the Toro Garden Tractor is a very good tractor for small landscaping needs and they also like the easy to remove deck, as well as the cutting ability of this lawn tractor. The Toro Garden Tractor, however, receives mixed reviews with comments that range from “Love This- Makes Job Easy/Fast” to “The Worst Lawn Tractor Ever Made”. Negative reviews point out the problems with startups, problems with repairs, and the customer service issues with honoring the warranty among the reasons to avoid the Toro Garden Tractor. It adds up to a garden tractor that ranks a little below average among Garden- Outdoor tools and products and a purchase should be carefully considered and reconsidered.

The Toro ( Home Depot) and the Troy Bilt ( Lowe's) are really the same mower and built by the same company. I have a Troy Buit and so far so good. It cuts the grass very even and the ride is fair. It is suppose to have an automatic transmission but you can not mower in reverse like a murray mower I... review »

I had to exchange my Toro when I first bought it, the battery went dead and the alternator wouldn't charge. The exchange isn't much better, the starter on both is iffy at best. When I try to start the thing it acts like the battery is dead most of the time. You have to hold the key in the start position... review »

This is an ideal tractor for the home & small work garden--landscape--turf. I'm a avid landscape person and love to use Toro products. In another review there was a complaint on starting product, this may be the fact engine was cold and choke was either pulled too far or not at all, also try to check the quality of gas sometimes small engines will act up due to condensation or a poor grade of fuel was not able to read the specific issue but try a little patience

I bought my tractor two years ago. I've already replaced the belt. It cuts okay. Just a lot of work just to cut the grass.

I purchased this tractor 2 years ago and i have only been able to use 1 of the 2 years, i have spent more money on repairs that what i paid for it new. I have called Toro several times and all they say is we cant do anything about it. They wanted me to take it back to where I purchased it, but I couldnt find the reciept and we paid cash. all of the repairs were not covered under the warrenty, we have replaced 12 belts and a battery belt guards and several other things but everytime the items werent covered under warrenty. I hate this mower so much and i am not that type of person.

My husband and I purchased this in Jan 08 and we got a Free wagon with it.  We love it.  I h ave even learned how to drive it.  We use it to hall things for our projects from our inlaws to our house.  It has been great.  Not a single problem.  My husband is very anal about anything we buy so that helps.  He take amazing care of everything.

The Toro Garden Trackor is so much better then  My last Lawn mower and does the job of mowing so much faster and easier that I have more time for all other projects around the out side of My house.

Recently shopping for riding mower, went to Winchester Va store.  After buying mower, was told they did not deliver to my town.  Sent me to Cumberland MD, about 100 mailes away.  On a hot day, in unairconditioned truck.  Bought mower in Cumberland, also wanted gas grill.  Told would have to pay 2 separate delivery fees for items.  Canceled gas grill.  They charged me tax on the delivery fee.  Satisfied with the mower, but will never again shop in Cumberland MD store.
