What to do if Toro LX468 Lawn Mower will not mulch grass?
- W
  Wendy Burgess MDAug 15, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower won't mulch grass, consider these possibilities: * The engine speed may be too low. Place the throttle in the FAST (rabbit) position. * The grass may be wet. Avoid mulching when the grass is wet. * The grass may be excessively high. Mow once at a high cutting height, then mow again at the desired height, or make a narrower cutting swath. * The blade may be dull. Sharpen or replace the blade.
