Toro 53cm Super Recycler Lawn Mower is a rotary-blade, walk-behind lawn mower designed for residential use. It's suitable for cutting grass on well-maintained lawns, but not for agricultural uses or cutting brush. You can choose between recycling the clippings, bagging them, or discharging them to the side. It features a self-propel drive for easy operation. With its adjustable cutting height and handle height, you can customize it to your needs. It also has a recoil-starter rope, a charging port for the battery, and a fuse for electrical protection.
