  Mark AyalaAug 20, 2025
  If your Toro Tractor mower isn't mulching grass effectively, here's what you should check: * Ensure the engine speed is set high enough by placing the throttle in the FAST position. * Avoid mulching when the grass is wet. * If the grass is excessively high, mow once at a higher cutting height before mowing again at the desired height. Alternatively, try making a narrower cutting swath. * Check the blade. Sharpen or replace it if it's dull.
