The Toro 21in Kawasaki self-propelled mower (P/N 22297) solves commercial lawn maintenance durability challenges through heavy cast-aluminum deck construction and a commercial Kawasaki FJ180V KAI engine. Commercial landscape crews destroy thin consumer decks when mowing sandy soil and hitting concrete landscape borders every day. This commercial walk-behind mower features an extra-thick cast-aluminum deck with replaceable steel wear strips, a 3-speed commercial transmission, and a zone-start system that stops the engine when the bail handle is released.

A commercial 3-speed gear transmission powers the rear wheels, delivering smooth ground drive control up to 4 MPH across steep slopes and ditch banks. The cast-iron cylinder sleeve and pressurized lubrication system inside the Kawasaki FJ180V KAI engine protect internal bearings on steep slopes where splash systems starve. The 1-gallon commercial fuel tank allows long mowing runs without returning to the truck for refueling stops.
