Toro 163-cc 4-cycle 22.0-in Straight Shaft Gas String Trimmer

Great mower for my bumpy country acre

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes mowing my bumpy country acre faster and easier. This self-propelled mower with Briggs & Straton motor has a pull start that I don't have to struggle with compared to my previous four lawn mowers. I just wish it would go backwards easier. I dislike hoing forward all of the time.

This was handed down to me and has been the real work horse of our urban farm. Would need and other tool for clearing properties or farm work. It moves great and is very durable with strong trimming capability.

I bought this walk behind trimmer March 2025. I have used it approx 30 hours until Aug/25. I have had to replace the part that glides on the ground three times as they wear out making the machine unusable. I’m not running it on rocks or gravel. I have an acreage so the ground is mostly hard dirt with the odd rock. So not abusing it. But three bumpers in that amount of time is excessive. And expensive. Toro should take steps to thicken or harden the metal. I would look for another trimmer with a...

One-pull start is best feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every time I use the string mower, it starts the first time that I pull the cord. I have two acres of property and use the mower on just under an acre. It keeps on cutting through fairly thick and sometimes three foot tall brush and grasses with ease. I can't imagine going back to a weed-wacker type machine for my heavy-duty cutting needs.

Toro ?

I bought this string mower 3 weeks ago and the mow ball in the front wore out. Dealer is trying to find one for me but said its a wear part and may not be covered under warranty. I would think a Toro part would last longer.

Don't buy one you can't get new v-belts

Its great as long as the belt doesn't separate. I had it 2 months and now i can't get a v-belt for it.

Great product! So glad we made this purchase !!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a Good machine, loaded the oil and gas and it started on the very first pull. Very easy to pull start ,even my wife can start it. We have 5 acres of tall grass and weeds which is way easier with this type of string mower. Highly recommended.

No Pain, Lots to Gain!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this thing! I purchased it because I’m 72 years old and was having trouble keeping my balance with a regular weed trimmer let alone the back pain that goes with it. After reviewing several brands I chose the Toro, a name I’ve trusted for years. Easy to start and maneuver, it is powerfull and does a fantastic job of clearing areas where my lawnmower won’t reach. If you’re older like me and still like to do yard work, I highly recommend t...
